A Saturday At "The Office"


In preparation of the HUD inspection that my client has on March 9th, I thought I had better go to the building and check the files for compliance. I figured it would take 2-3 hours out my Saturday; no problem. Mind you, I had revamped the files a year ago. They all passed last year's inspection. But since July, they have had 3 property managers - all screw ups. The first one was a 61 year old bi-polar lady. She lasted a month after cussing out the building owners when in one of her "crazy" moods. The second was a 34 year old guy, who interviewed well but had the maturity of a 17 year old boy. He was sleeping with 2 of our disabled residents, an elderly resident and had propositioned the only Black man in the building, who happens to be an ex-Crip - current alcoholic. The one we have there now is a 22 year old gothic-type chick with a gothic, creepy boyfriend who is never seen without a black hoodie.
So, of course the files would not be in order, right. Right. I got to the building at 2:30 and did not leave until 9PM. My entire Saturday was spent organizing 80 f**cked up files. It sucked!
