Slumlords with a Smile

I am fed-up with complaining to slumlord to turn the heat on - or up. Always turns into having to call 311. Last year Building Inspector saw none of my windows have storm windows. They've been like that since I moved in Spring 2003. Up until last year, it had always been warm in my apartment. No more.
My kitchen faucet developed a leak & kept getting worse. I complained 6 times in a 4 month period. Nothing happened. I called 311 and 2 weeks later the slumlord installed a new faucet.
30 March I came home & saw buckets of water flowing down my wall. The (former) upstairs tenant left his bathroom faucet on all day. Marko (building manager) said he needed to wait til it all dries before he can repair it. As of this writing (12 Dec), he has done NOTHING. Nor has he done anything about other water damamge that tenant has caused. I wonder how much mold I'm being subjected to. Btw, shortly after the flood, I had a problem with waterbugs, obviously a result of that flood. Marko passed it off as an annual event & did nothing.
In Dec I had a problem with a mouse. Marko said nobody else complained about one - - that was a lie. He told me to buy steel wool to stuff in any openings. I did that & deducted cost from rent - - and did the same with buying roach traps. (Would've been nice if he sprayed the building at least every 2-3 months!)
I wish other present (and former) tenants would complain! Those who are lucky moved out. Those of us who are unlucky - - and can't afford to move - - are still stuck with this garbage.
