PER ONLINE; I'M TRULY NOT EXPECTING THE SDCI TO DO ANYTHING, AS THEY DON'T SEEM TO ADDRESS RETALIATION. 15JAN20 MMC WAS CITED FOR RETALIATION AND WERE INFORMED THAT ANY FURTHER INFRACTIONS WOULD RESULT IN ADDITIONAL ENFORCEMENT, BUT WE WILL SEE. ON 31JAN20 I FILED A WORK ORDER DUE TO WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A CODE VIOLATION WITH MY WINDOWS. 10 DAYS LATER I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE CITY, AND IT WAS IN FACT DEEMED A CODE VIOLATION. MMC WAS ALSO CITED FOR NUMEROUS SAFETY INFRACTIONS

PER ONLINE; I LIVE AT 1203 JAMES ST. IN A 1ST-FLOOR STUDIO UNIT. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE SERIOUS MAINTENANCE ISSUES SINCE MOVING IN IN SEPTEMBER. THE PROPERTY MANAGER'S RESPONSE TO THESE ISSUES HAS BEEN TOTALLY INADEQUATE, AND THERE IS VIRTUALLY NO COMMUNICATION WITH RESIDENTS ABOUT ISSUES AFFECTING US.MOST RECENTLY, LAST THURSDAY, MANY MANY GALLONS OF WATER BEGAN LEAKING INTO MY UNIT. THE BUILDING MANAGERS HAVE NOT COMMUNICATED WITH ME AT ALL SINCE THE NIGHT OF THE INCIDENT A

DURING COVID, MY APT EXPERIENCED CONSTANT LEAKING AS A RESULT OF THE MGMT COMPANY NOT COMPLETING A ROOFING ISSUE DURING THE TIME THAT WE WERE NOTIFIED... CONTINUED TO WORK BEYOND THE PERIOD SPECIFIED FOR MAINTENANCE. THERE ARE MANY PLACES OF WATER DAMAGE TO THE CEILING AND WALLS THROUGHOUT THE APT, AND THEY STILL CONTINUE TOFAIL TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES. IT HAS BEEN 2-3 MONTHS NOW. I HAVE ALSO STILL NOT HEARD FROM THE SDCI REGARDING A COMPLAINT THAT WAS FILED ON 10FEB FOR RETAL

UPON INSPECTING MY UNIT VIRTUALLY LAST WEEK FOR WATER DAMAGE, I WENT DOWNSTAIRS TO THE LAUNDRY AND FOUND WATER DAMAGE TO THE BUILDING ENTRANCE CEILING.

LAST WED, I WAS WITH THE BUILDING MANAGER, AFTER A VIRTUAL INSPECTION FOR THE WINDOWS FOR MY APT. I HAD TO GO DOWN TO THE LAUNDRY, AND HAD GOTTEN ON THE CONVERSATION ABOUT NO VIDEO SURVEILLANCE FOR MAIL, LIKE THERE WAS BEFORE THE BOXES WERE MOVED, AND THAT MULTIPLE TENANTS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT MISSING PACKAGES. WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE DOOR, IT BECAME OBVIOUS, THAT PART OF THE DOOR JAM HAD BEEN CHISELED AWAY TO MAKE AN EASY BREAK IN OF THE DOOR. I FILED A WORK ORDER THE SAME DAY

I WOKE UP TODAY, AND HAD NO WATER TO MY UNIT. THERE WAS NO COMMUNICATION FROM THE MGMT COMPANY, AND MANAGER DID NOT KNOW ABOUT SHUT OFF. STEVEN RUDOLF HAS ALREADY DONE A VIDEO INSPECTION TO CONFIRM SHUT OFF

AFTER FILING A COMPLAINT ABOUT MY WINDOWS NOT OPENING AND CLOSING PROPERLY, I WAS TOLD THAT THE WINDOWS IN MUCH OF THE BUILDING ARE THE SAME. I CHECKED A FEW OF THE WINDOWS IN THE HALLWAYS, PARTICULARLY AT THE FIRE ESCAPES, AND MANY OF THE WINDOWS ARE IN THE SAME STATE. I WAS TOLD THAT INTRUDERS HAVE USED THESE WINDOWS TO CLIMB THE FIRE ESCAPE TO GET INTO THE BUILDING, AS OFTEN THE WINDOWS ARE NOT ABLE TO BE SHUT ALL THE WAY.
