Forward Management Building Broken Washing Machines

As I went to do my laundry this afternoon, I realized that one of our building washing machines was missing. Not a major tragedy (well, aside from the stagnant water where the machine used to be, that has since bread a mosquito that has bitten me. Delightful). So, I loaded my laundry into the remaining machine, put in detergent, and then placed the four quarters in their slots. After pushing the quarters into the machine, nothing happened. It appears that this Forward Management Apartment Building Property does not have any functioning washing machines.

At around 4pm (when this happened), I called Forward Management and was directed to the answering machine, as usual. So, it appears the residents of this building will not be able to do any laundry this weekend. And I am out 4 quarters, and have no clean towels. It is very irresponsible of Forward Management to do this, without warning anyone. I guess this is not surprising for a landlord with abysmal ratings on LandOrSlum.


Stagnant water where old washing machine used to be, now a vibrant mosquito breeding ground.

Power Outage

There was a building-wide power outage today, at ~8:00pm. The power company showed up and worked on the power lines down the street. After approximately 50 minutes in the dark, the power returned around 8:50pm.
