Sudden visits by the FDNY
There’s nothing worse than seeing a police officer or a fireman in your apartment. You don’t know whether you did something wrong, someone else did something wrong, or whether your apartment is going to be foreclosed. In this person’s case, the FDNY came over to kill power to the building.
Why? Because rainwater would seep from the roof and into the building. If the water found its way into the electrical system, the entire building might catch fire. The fireman would show up unexpectedly to kill the power if they couldn’t reach the landlord. At least someone’s looking out for you, even if it’s not the person who collects your rent.
