In a recent post, I wrote that my building had a major flood. This flood necessitated an building-wide shut off of the water for nearly six hours last Friday. Today, I saw one of the elevators was locked off for a move between 9am and 5pm. This is a massive amount of time for one of the elevators to be dedicated for a move.
On my way back from lunch, I saw the building manager and asked him about this lengthy move. He told me that two units are moving out because of the flood. There was enough water damage that those units are not fit for living in and I’m guessing repairs are just easier with all the furniture and people out of there.
He also confirmed the affected units are on tenth floor, which is the lowest floor in this building that has residential units, everything below is either common property, parking, or commercial. The floor right below the tenth is the amenities room, storage lockers, and gym. This whole building is lucky that the leak happened on the tenth floor and the water went down to a non-residential floor, otherwise we’d probably be dealing with more people moving out.
I can’t imagine what a pain in the ass it is for those living in those two units. Not only is your home flooded, now you gottta move your ass elsewhere. I can only hope their insurance is covering all this. Even if it does, what an upheaval to your life.
