Shower and sink drains are sometimes connected to greywater outflow such as a storm drain, while toilets are connected to sewer lines that go to a treatment plant. Pee is fairly benign but even so, we treat human waste differently from merely "dirty water" for a reason.

Strange that some resident got letters warning about the stairs removal and some of them didn't.

What if someone had run back for something, or over slept, or couldn't read the notice?

A lot of apartments are lazy as gently caress when it comes to notices too. Mine has literally taped a notice at the staircase and called it good on multiple occasions (one reason I'm in the process of moving)

If a letter is marked "important", it never is.

I was going through some old pictures today and found this one I'd been meaning to post for a while. Probably even mentioned it here and there. It's not quite "the fire department had to come and get us out with a ladder" or "the landlord stole a platform from the Home Depot parking lot to replace the stairs", but it's something. Context: that entrance door used to be ground level until they dug up the entire lot to build another house. They put up those wooden stairs and left them up for I'm gonna say 18 months to 2 years in, as you can see, any weather. By the end they were falling apart pretty badly. People would step outside on the top platform to smoke and all, and if you got more than two persons standing there, things definitely got moving.

mllaneza posted:"we're going to replace the stairs, and we'll pay for a hotel room and give you rent credit for the time your apartment is inaccessible" Not exactly. quote:The letter offered to pay for hotel rooms for residents who had to move out. Rent credit isn't the same as cash in hand. Some people may not be able to afford to pay for hotel rooms up front even if it's going to be taken off next month's rent. It isn't clear, but the way it is phrased also makes it sound like they are only paying for one night at a hotel, plus 1/30th of your rent for each additional day the building is uninhabitable. Maybe the entire letter spelled it out better.

Let's be fair: they weren't pulling the stairs down for shits and giggles; they were replacing them because they were dangerously falling apart i think they deserve some credit for not just nailing a few 2x4s across them.

So, I don't find out about it until I get home for lunch at noon... I didn't get pictures of it, but there's a residential street near my home that just got repaved, and I think there's a few people that didn't get the memo; there are about 6 cars stranded on their driveways now.

moist turtleneck posted:I don't understand how they only had one set of stairs to exit their domicile Most apartments in converted houses (ie most of the older apartments in my city) have only one set of stairs. My weird L-shaped 25-apartment building has two, but the two second-floor hallways (one of which is technically a 3rd-floor hallway because the building is on a slope) each access two different stairwells and the halls are not connected to each other except through my apartment. My "back door" goes directly from my bathroom to the other hallway. There are also a set of basement-level apartments which have another set of stairs specifically for them. This is what happens when you renovate a building from 1817. There's a joke here about stairs in my house/protection but I can't think of it right now.

moist turtleneck posted:I don't understand how they only had one set of stairs to exit their domicile I don't think that Atlanta/GA requires two exits for a second-floor unit; at least, none of the places I lived in while I was in GA (most of which were second floor) had more one set of stairs. Also possible that it's against code and no one does anything about it, though.

moist turtleneck posted:I don't understand how they only had one set of stairs to exit their domicile There are generally things in the code that allow for a single stair to service a building based on a certain maximum floor area, specially if there are windows connected some sort of exterior fire escape system. These codes have gotten tighter and tighter over the last 50 years to the point that exterior fire escapes and lovely ladders don't really count for poo poo anymore outside of old heritage houses. I've done work on quite a few renos where a big old house was cut up into maybe 8 suites, 3 on the ground, 3 on the 2nd, and 2 in the 3rd/attic and the upper suites are only served by a single stair, but there's emergency fire exit ladders at designated windows. I also did some work on a huge old mansion turned into apartments where on the upper floors there were only 2 old school exterior fire escapes, but about 6 units. I noticed the 2 units with the fire escapes had glass doors, painted to be solid and I asked about it. In case of fire everyone on that floor are to smash the glass of one of the 2 apartments with fire exits and use those. So if there's a fire, break into your neighbour's apartment.

I just went to switch the switch in the laundry room with a nice motion sensor. Three wires, thought it would go nice and easy. Figure out which is which, wire it all up. Nothing. Pull out the meter, check some things, everything seems ok. Pull the light fixture off to see WTF: * Wirenuts? What are those? We'll just twist and electrical tape it. * They used 14/3, and cut off the ends of the red wire (on the run to the switch) * Why switch the hot when you can switch the neutral! Redid all the wiring, it works fine now. The best part is our old washing machine which dimmed all the lights whenever it spun up the motor used to be running off this junction.

Maybe in your part of the world, but every lovely apartment complex I've every been in in ATL has a single set of external stairs leading to the second floor. I don't think I've every seen a fire escape on any building.
