More Main Water Problems and Crawl Space Activity

Why don’t we know what is going on with this pipe? This is the third time it has been repaired but we have no information on this chronic issue and what exactly is being performed here and the two repairs nearby before.
Is this water flood from the cracked pipe in the courtyard?
Why is this hose coming out of the crawl space?
In case you were wondering, the end of the hose is out here, not in there.
I hope this new sump-pump install is working

Victory part I

On March 2, 2020 at 9:30 AM, I received and assisted inspectors from Trenton and Edgewater to come to open the crawl space and then come into my home. On March 4, 2020, the Edgewater inspector came back to my home to tour three other chronically structurally deficient and moisture damaged owner units. I worked with those three owners to have them stay home from work to open the doors. The above took a combined total effort, on my part, of approximately seven years of complaining to both Edgewater and Trenton about un-written and un-inspected maintenance and structural inadequacies. March 2nd and then this letter above is a huge victory that took too long and way too much of my own money to accomplish.

We know that at least two sub-pumps were installed in the crawl space on May 2. This is box number one.
Sub pump box number two.

Let’s remember there are good people coming to work everyday at the guard house and keeping our packages, etc.

I brought surgical gloves and masks to the guard yesterday, she was very grateful. Can we all ask them if they are okay everyday, make sure they have soap and towels to wash their hands well and cleaners to clean the surfaces inside the little house. Please.
The guard house is getting a makeover, cleaned and painted inside, everything taken apart and cleaned. This is lovely and our guards really deserve a nice station.

Welcome to Waterside Condos Where the Maintenance Crew Just Doesn’t Give A Darn. And, Neither Does Leadership––or, there is a phantom graffiti painter that is invisible to our cameras.

At first I was like, wait, did they frost film coat the doors? Then, I was like, Oh My God, they spray painted the glass because they used tape for small brush painting. It does look kind of cool until you realize how this happened.
They spray painted the concrete brick and the stone facing. Isn’t graffiti considered vandalism?
They spray painted the poured concrete door jam ledge.
This door, they did much better––only a few splotches and drips––and they removed the bolts and tape.
These doors got cleaned beautifully but the exterior rock surface still has black spray paint like graffiti.
Even this sign has a schmear.

Our taxes in Edgewater are going to be re-assessed in a five-year rolling plan because at this time, our assessed taxes are below 80%. Our taxes are the lowest in Bergen County and our Mayor and Council Members are well aware. If someone thinks that keeping our building neglected and dilapidating will in turn keep the land from being assessed at it’s accurate value for 2020-2025, you are mistaken. Thus–while I was looking at the beautiful orange glowing sunset light upon the GW Bridge and the buildings of Washington Heights juxtaposed with the pot holed, uneven, water collecting, drive way and parking area of Waterside Condominium, Inc.–I thought, well, if it has to be like gravel, it could be nice gravel. There are many fine residential properties, properties with extensive driveways, that choose loose gravel driveways, they are easy to maintain as even ground and are beautiful. We must have good drainage on the river, as we are, and the parking lot drainage is slow and often clogged. The drains need to be raised anyway, and if they were raised, it may be permitted to put in gravel. My heels may dislike gravel but my eyes, footing, and financing would be thankful.
