In relation to the two incidents on April 27th 2024 and April 29th 2024 where construction dust inadvertently triggered the fire alarm at 250 Frederick St., a freedom of information request has been filed to obtain incident reports for both events. Both incident reports are contained in this document.

As of 10:05am on September 11 2024, my leaking tap has been repaired, and the potential flooding hazard appears to have been resolved. Since the work has only just been done, I'll keep an eye on it to monitor for issues with the repair. At this time the repair appears to have been done satisfactorily, and the new tap functions normally.

In relation to the previously discussed tap repair:

Today (September 10, 2024), after coming back from getting lunch around noon, I happen to encounter the same representative of management as before at the ground floor elevators. I spoke to him briefly about the fact that no one came by to repair the tap. He said that the person who was expected to perform the repair did not show up, likely due to an emergency situation. Further, he said that he had already rescheduled and served a notice for the repair, which would take place on Wednesday, September 11th.

As expected, I found the following notice in my mail slot when I got back to my apartment:

The time of day is currently 9:20pm. I have been here in my apartment attentively anticipating the previously mentioned plumbing repair all day, and no one has arrived yet to perform said repair.

In relation to the leaking tap issue that I posed about on August 26th:

I spoke with a representative of building management by chance in the elevator the other day who said that would repair the tap soon. This morning, I received a very welcome and expected notice of entry form today informing me that plumbing repairs will be conducted tomorrow:



This form is only relevant for me, but for completeness sake I am posting here as a follow-up to the earlier post about the tap issue.
