Kinda different. If I have an issue with the water at my house, I call the water authority directly and raise hell (and trust me, I do. I always start off very nice and sweet but if the nails need to come out, they do) but at work the most I can do is to the building management and they wipe their bottoms with my complaint.

This is the problem with working in a building that was built in the 40s during the roaring Steel industry of this city. Everything was kinda winged in to make it modern. A modern skyscraper in this city wouldn't have half the issues that I've encountered in this office. There's not much I can do besides document, and forward to the appropriate places. Unfortunately, the building management couldn't care less about "petty" complaints like the ones I've had thus far:

Absolutely BLACK air filters for the AC/ heat in my office
Yellow/discolored water
Toilets not flushing
No water in toilets
cockroaches (that's always a joy to see first thing on a Monday morning)
and my personal favorite, MOLD.

Add to that all the issues you get with the above: constant sickness/illness of building tenants. I've not been the only person to go to the Health Dept. about this building. I'm all but convinced someone has been paid off because nothing changes. There's money under the table somewhere, I just don't know where.

The last time my office's air filter was changed I snapped a pic of the maintanence guy leaving with the solidly black one and reported it to the health department. Nothing came of it.


I'm pretty angry about it.

As I was reading this, I kept wondering what your boss has done to help you or others that work for him/her in that toxic building. From reading your post, I can't figure out if there is a boss there, or if you're a freelance type of worker, and on your own in there? That building sounds unhealthy and dreadful.

So, I basically decided last night to stop into the hospital today to visit with, pray with, and offer whatever comfort I could to my cousin and her family, and her dying husband.

When I walked into the room, I knew Derrick was not long for this world. He had already passed into what I call the valley of the shadow of death. Family started to arrive shortly thereafter, and less than 30 minutes later ... Hallelujah, Graduation Day.

He is no longer in pain. He is no longer struggling. He is at peace, and in the presence of the Lord.

So sorry for your loss. He is at peace and I hope you are well.

He's aware.

I understand it can be difficult to keep up with a 41 story building but it's like they're not even trying. I actually got a call from someone at the health department but I was on the subway going home. Will call them tomorrow. It's the first time I've gotten a call from them so I'm more than happy to talk to them.

It's amazing that since I've been home I'm feeling so much better. My sinuses don't feel clogged and I haven't sneezed once. My chest congestion simply isn't there and I don't feel like I'm coming down with a cold.

I'm going to ask if my office can be evaluated by the health dept to confirm my suspicions about it.

How many people work in your office?

Only a few but our bathrooms are not in the office, they're in the main lobby. Remember the old building retro fitted to contain more offices? Yep, that's a symptom of it.

My boss has noticed that lack of maintenance as well. I don't know if he's talked to building management but I have several times with no results.

:(
