The ongoing problem with backup from washing machines on the East line of '60 N Claremont into our bathroom (dating back to 2009) is recurring once more.We'll let you know what the response is, and if our property manager actually follows instructions for a change.
It re-started about a month and a half ago with a little foam, but has been progressively getting worse.
The backflow of suds and water almost fills what is now a shower stall with only a 2" depth instead of a bathtub, and probably will begin overflowing in the next week or so.
We suggest you contact a plumber and let us know when he can be here to roto-rooter the problem, as has been done several times previously.
I will not be available to deal with this so, if you have any questions, please have the plumber call B at xxx.xxx.xxxx (cell) or xxx.xxx.xxxx (home) or e-mail xxxxxxxxx@gmail.com to make arrangements.
Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter.

The return of an Old Problem
With an old plumbing problem rearing it's head, M contacted the property manager via their website's maintenance/repair request page...

The Claremont/Ox-Bow Incident...One Year Ago Today
One year ago today...
M and I were having dinner tonite when there was a knock at the door.I opened it and a hulking figure loomed over me.
I recognized him as one of the Board.
In a rumbling voice, he demanded that M come out and talk to the assembled Board and their servant, the Property Manager, in the building's lobby.
M, afraid, due to the mencing presence, unwillingly complied, and for the next half-hour they hounded, threatened, whined, and tried to cajole M...

It's April Fool's Day...
...so here's a middle-finger salute to the biggest fools I know...
The Twit
The Twat
The Tart
and
The Eunich
otherwise known as
the Board and Property Manager.
Check out our subscription-only blog for details about how each of them earned their nicknames...

Board Meeting 3/20/13
One of the Board members didn't show.
Though they made light of it, the others were obviously concerned.
He's "missed" previous meetings and there's rumors of a rift between him and the others.
The Twit made light of the fact he hasn't yet produced Minutes for either the September or December 2013 meetings, breezily announcing "Don't worry about it." when asked.
It was announced that the already-late 2012 Financials will be sent with the April assessments.
(The March assessments were handed out to attendees, so non-attendees won't receive theirs by mail until at least the 22nd or 23rd in typical inept Fox Management fashion.)
Though it was announced publicly that there were no delinquencies, the Board rushed through the meeting as if to get rid of us so they could discuss matters in "private".
Unfortunately for them, the room was not as private as they might have wanted, since we arrived there before any of the others and were able to "prep" it.
Readers of our private / unexpugated blog can read the details now.

Meeting? What Meeting?
When we received the on-time (but still less than 10 days before required payment) assessment in February, there was a notice enclosed about a Board Meeting on March 20th.
The Condomimium Code requires that the notice be posted in "public areas" (like building lobbies) no less than 48 hours before the meeting.
As of this posting on the morning of the 19th, less than 36 hours before the scheduled meeting, there's no notice posted anywhere!
Another failure in a long line of screw-ups by the Twit and Property Manager.
Since the Board was stopped in their attempt to leech $10,000 out of the unit owners with their fradulent "vandalism" scare last September, they've been skittish about even speaking to unit owners, especially us.
Will they attempt to hold the March 20th meeting in secret, hoping that no one bothered to read the notice in the February assessment folder?
Keep reading, fans!
There's more lunacy to come!
UPDATE:
Returning home around 8pm, M and I saw a notice finally posted in the lobby, less than 24 hours before the meeting.
Another example of the Twit and the Twat failing in their responsibilities.
Watch for our summary of the meeting on Thursday.

Assessment Arrives "On Time"...but Late!
The assessment bill arrived on Wednesday, the 20th...without Board meeting minutes from either September or December, 2012!
But, since February only has 28 days, the assessment's arrival on the 20th leaves only eight days to avoid a late charge!
It's a clever stunt by the property manager, who can claim "Well, you got it by the 20th! What are you bitching about?", while leaving less than ten days to pay the bill!
Fear not, reader, she's not as smart as we are.
Payment is being sent today, with delivery confirmation.
As to why there's no meeting minutes...either the Twit is totally-incapable of writing a couple of coherent paragraphs, or he's afraid to put anything on paper because he knows he'll be called out on any lies he presents.
It's certainly not due to lack of time on his hands, since he's apparently underemployed judging from the amount of times I see him here in the afternoon.

Assessment Arrives Early, but the Minutes DON'T
