billableJul 31, 2012

i wouldn't want the super moving furniture, even if it was billable,unless small items, with everything cleared off. To much risk of injury , and if furniture is expensive , claims to co-op. I worked for a public utility and we had to do installs inside the house, we were told never to move furniture, that is the customers responsibility. even changing bulbs, is more of a favor, but not a requirement to a resident. Tough to draw a line, since when in the apartment to work on a covered item, before they leave they could change a light bulb. Since tips are given to the super at the holidays, the light bulb changing fee is kinda included in them. The co-op i live in also tips the super and to my total opposition, the managing agent. Who doesn't even do the basic work required of him. We had fire dept fines for fire door rusted shut and unable to be opened, yet they tip and give raises, it's the prez in cahoots with the managing company with a puppet board.
