Well, fuck. : comments [sigelphoenix]

They did put us in a vacant unit last night (which is the first vacancy they've had in a long time that wasn't immediately snatched up, lucky us), so we can sleep there, but still grab our stuff from downstairs.

Not sure about the long-term, partially because the owners don't yet know how long that is, and if it's a "wait a few days for your apartment back" thing or a "forget it and move into a new apartment" thing.

I hope the damage to your stuff wasn't too extensive :( Were they also able to take care of the upstairs neighbors?

I hope whatever happens is swift and decisive so you guys don't have to wallow in limbo :(

And the waiting for the neighbors to leave to turn off the water sounds ridiculous--not just your stuff, but how much more damage did that do the building? Gah.

So far we haven't found any major permanent damage to our actual possessions. *knocks on wood* The upstairs unit (it's actually our manager's) had more water, but I think is in a similar situation where the leaks concentrated on areas like the hallway and kitchen floor.

Thanks for the well-wishes. So far it looks like the owners and manager are moving quickly (it's in their best interests as well as ours, after all), so I hope it continues.

As for the top-floor neighbors, it turns out that they also suffered some water damage from the busted heater (though on their floor, of course, and not the ceiling). So maybe they did turn off the heater as soon as they could. Alternately, the damage could be their karmic payback? :P
