Paste here a typical recent work random email
Posted: Fri Aug 15, 2008 10:38 am
This email is all about getting a property manager to remove a trash can full of rotting, old food on a construction site AND getting AC turned on inside a nearly finished construction project in DC where all doors and windows were closed in AUGUST WITH NO AC WHILE 50 CONTRACTORS TOILED IN CEILINGS TO DROP WIRING AND ELECTRICAL. Trash can as described smelled like a living, hot NYC Sewer.
Finally, I carried the damn trash myself to the 1st floor of the building and left it in the goddamned lobby of the building. You can bet it got removed then...
Start from the bottom.
John,
It may not be construction related but it is move related and therefore not the responsibility of the building staff to remove. You see all tenants share in the cost of normal nightly trash removal. Extra trash generated due to moves and construction are an additional cost that is not shared by the other tenants. We do not have enough staff available to remove your trash throughout the day.

Building Managers
We will continue to generate trash today in the 2nd and 3rd floor suites that is not construction related. Some of it may be food trash. As a tenant and part of a big move, I’d like this addressed. I personally carried a bag of trash on my own to the dumpster yesterday.
Where do you want us to put this trash on each floor since trash cans aren’t out yet?
Thanks,
John

All,
We will call for an extra pick up because the compactor is nearly full. They only make pick ups first thing in the morning due to traffic issues so the earliest they will make it is tomorrow morning.
Contractor, I have just inspected the trash and it is a combination of both packing and construction material.

The trash issue is Contractor related. Wayne can you confirm the AC is turned on?

Dear whomever is managing trash pickup,
Can we get a 3rd Floor trash pickup ASAP please?
The pile near the North areas is growing and will continue to grow very quickly as we unbox equipment for reconnects. There is also old food in the trash that is beginning to have a rank smell.
Is the building AC going to be turned on today? I have about 40-50 people in the suite working on wiring and AV. We requested this over three weeks ago both officially and in construction meetings.
Thanks,
