Flooding
Our second bedroom a.k.a. Lady's Fortress of Studytude flooded for the second time in the last forty-five days or so after the crazy thunderstorm on Saturday afternoon. The landlord was in the courtyard talking to the landlord of the building next to ours. I went outside and told him we were flooded and worse than the last time around. He came inside and took a look.
He thinks it is the building next door's overflow of some sort messing shit up for us as he's installed a backflow preventer or something which keeps the overflow from the always clogged sewers out of the building. Who knows. I have no idea.
He went home to get some stuff and came back to clean up the mess and then hit the tiles with a shot of mildew remover for good measure. He also took the rug which Lady loves to the cleaners for us. This has been the best response [for lack of a better word] we've had from him in the year we've been living there.
He told me that ultimately, it's the City's fault for having a super shitty sewer system. Apparently, the City has the funds for an overhaul of a main line underneath Lombard St, but there are problems involving the PECO transfer station around 8th St or so with all of their underground stuff. It's supposed to be three years down the line. We won't be in this apartment three years down the line.
