"Hello, unit 9E ? Unit 8E is wet."

I love when mantinence says your A/C is leaking. Into your neighbors unit. Through the brick façade of the building.

Scarey sounding, but the building mantinence guys took out our A/C (pictured.. weird that you can see right out!) and were able to fix it in a few minutes. (For free!) Good thing too; we found out that a replacement unit costs $4000! (Titanium plated, no doubt.)

We won't get started on how bad our A/C is to begin with. Chugging $325 last month in electricity, you'd think it would cool the place.

  • When I lived in NYC I had a similar heater/AC unit - and the bldg people would regularly do maintenance on them; one time they replaced it with a more powerful unit for no charge just because I was asking about the poor AC. So you might check if you really own that thing or not... chances are they are actually responsible for it - which could save you $4000 if something goes wrong again!
