Gas leaksJan 17, 2018

The super where I live changed the location of his kitchen. He did not get a permit (standard procedure here). He moved gas lines and the noise from this unnecessary renovation destroyed any peace for shareholders while being accomplished. I called the building department in my village to report it and they gave me nothing but grief. I told them that I hope it blows sky high so when it makes the papers I can inform the public of their anemic response. I live in a slum and believe the building dept is on the take. Actually I witnessed it so it's not what I think it's what I know! The cater to the slumlords cause that's where the money is. Can't wait for the day when it all comes out in the wash. I am on Long Island and the building depts out here have been caught with their hand in the cookie jar before. Unfortunately I am on a village they make their own rules and it is like the Wild West. I want to get out so badly!
