Hi everyone, Happy Friday!
I live in a 100+ unit apartment building on the ground floor. I have a standard patio with a 6ft high wooden fence. Some months back, the facility hired some folks to rebuild the support beams and balconies above my unit. Prior to this, my patio fence was already pretty beat up. The wood was rotten and there were places in the fence that I could gently apply pressure to and the boards would separate. My unit faces the street, with the only things between me and the sidewalk/road being my fence and a sliding glass door.
After the contractors finished their work, my fence actually looked better until one of the fence boards snapped in two, then completely broke off. Seriously, I woke up and it was like that. I -think- the neighbors above me used to climb my fence, then hop onto their balcony. Idiots. So, now If I open my blinds I can see directly into the street, just as folks can now see into my apartment if I don't leave the blinds closed.
I asked the apartment office repeatedly if they would fix it, but they continue to blame it on the contractors for whatever reason and it has literally been 6+ months that I've been able to see through my fence now.
Is there anyone else I can call, complain to, or report them to in order to get my fence fixed? I have email records showing that I sent the office staff photos dating back from March or April '17.
Essentially I'd like 2 things to happen. The first is get my fence fixed so I have privacy/safety. The second is some sort of monetary reimbursement for not being able to use my patio/open my blinds to its full extent for the last six months. Any thoughts/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
