Subject: Water Damage, Fungus, and Spores

There is a water damage issue in the second bedroom from the entrance, which—in spite of the superintendent’s promises—has only gotten worse. Beginning around early November, I noticed some slight discoloration on the ceiling in a corner of the room. Shortly thereafter, much to my consternation, a mushroom began to grow out of that area of the ceiling. The superintendent came to inspect the problem, promised he would take care of it that week, and has not returned since. Today, fungus continues to grow, I just cut down another mushroom, and the discoloration remains. The softness of the sheetrock in that area makes me fear that the problem could be even worse than it looks. Your immediate attention would be appreciated. Thank You.

Sincerely,
