I have had a problem with ants for 2 years. The super instructs some shareholders to purchase ant traps, while he panders to others (like board members). At our annual board meeting I asked a board member if he was experiencing the same thing. He informed me that he had in the past. I then asked him how he resolved it, and he informed me the exterminator took care of it and he has no more problems. Prior to this I had run into a board member in the lobby and asked if he was experiencing the same thing. He told me that he was not and it would be taken care of if necessary. He then said “Well they are not harmful are they?”. I replied “I do not like it when they crawl on me”. Finally the exterminator was called to take care of the problem (I am not the only with this issue) and I waited all day for them to show, unfortunately they did not. I called the exterminating service only to find that my apartment was not on the list. I do not allow the super access to my apartment because of problems I have encountered with him. Today I called the service again and they told me they would be here today again my apartment was not on the list. The woman who answered the phone added my name to the list so I may finally be getting some relief.
I am not very well liked in the building because I reported the super to the managing agent in regard to damage in my apartment and subsequent refusal to correct the problem. These issues include:

• Losing the key to my door and then breaking my lock in attempt to get in. I was going to call a locksmith but he insisted he could do it and I allowed him. After giving him 4 or 5 months to correct the problem (2 attempts) I called a locksmith. The board denied my request for reimbursement saying “I hired him”. Eventually I did get some reimbursement from them, but it did not even cover half of what it cost me because of his negligence.

• I have also seen him remove equipment from the building, loading it into one of his associate’s trucks for side jobs outside of the building.

• When I first moved in my tub was not draining properly and he told me to purchase a liquid drain opener and that he did not know what happened to the snake (it disappeared). He also read me the riot act regarding placing peels in the kitchen sink. I assured him it was not something I did and could see that he was seething over tenants who did this. I poured 3 bottles of the stuff down the tub drain to no avail. Finally (I year later) I got the plumber who serves the building to take care of the problem. I don’t put peels down my kitchen sink and I certainly have never placed them in my bathtub.

I could go on about the treatment I am receiving from him and other tenants in the building because of this and at some other point in time I will. I have been documenting these events with emails to the managing agent and my own personal log. The situation is very hostile and I hate living here because of it. What is most frustrating is that when I told him I was going to inform others of what he has done he said “they won’t believe you I have been here too long”. He was right and in fact 2 board members have accused me of dishonesty. I find their devotion to him bizarre especially since prior to this fallout he had many derogatory things to say about them.
Of course I have never repeated this information and if I did I know that they would just call me a liar. I have one more year here before I can sell, but I am very distraught and would like to leave today.
How would you handle this type of situation.?
