CharlieSalvatore Here's the situation I had my annual inspection at the end of May and my apartment passed the inspector told me he said everything is fine but the building has three violations that need to be repaired so the overall inspection failed the next month they come back and they don't come in the guy knocks on the door the inspector and says they got to come back again because the items were not fixed which word that elevator permit two fire extinguishers needed on each floor and the hall window secured so another inspection is upcoming next week on Friday and yesterday my landlord says they want to come in and inspect my unit because of peeling paint peeling paint wasn't one of the violations and I don't think they can't add to the inspection results that's already completed She said the peeling paint is the reason for the failure and that someone told her that over the phone when she called the housing department well that's very concerning because I would think that I would be told if it's in my unit and there's no peeling paint anywhere, on the written report from the inspector it only lists the three items that need repairing outside of my unit within the building and the second reinspector never came in my apartment and if there was peeling pain he would have come in anyway she's coming on Friday of this week to do her inspection but I'm concerned that it's not about peeling paint since it's not true I just feel like something's up and just so you know I did pay my portion of the rent this month I'm not aware if the housing department paid their portion or not. Has anybody else experienced something like this?
TaylorTHomas Yep, seen it before. Landlord’s trying to shift blame from their violations to your walls. If paint wasn’t on the report and no one came in, it’s not your issue. Take pics, stay chill, and don’t let them guilt you for their fire extinguisher drama.
Emilyrose Why are you worried? It's not your responsibility to fix that stuff it's the landlords responsibility. It would be different if you failed because it was dirty or something. Peeling paint is not your problem. It's their job to paint if it's peeling.
Kevinbrian Use punctuation, damn. Anyway, inspection results are sent to you and the landlord, IN WRITING. No one gives a crap about peeling paint. Probably doesn't have the funds for an elevator inspection to get the permit or didn't pass inspection because it needs repairs. Your landlord is just talking turkey so you don't get on their ass about why they really failed the s8 inspection. But that's exactly what you should be doing because a 3rd inspection is already scheduled and if the issues still aren't resolved it's going to become a headache for everyone involved.
