Hey all, so this forum has served me well in the past. Wanted to run something by ya'll to see how concerned I should be about this new development.
So for background info, I live in a multi-story pre-war apartment building. My apartment has been dealing with a slow leak from upstairs for the past year. The super has said that he hasn't been able to find the source of the leak and his usual go-to plan is to just patch/seal it up and then repair again when it inevitably leaks again.
However, last night a part of my ceiling collapsed and this was after me notifying him yet again of the slow leak (there was even a bit of water collecting in the trash can the day before). I've contacted building management to see what they plan on doing about the leak/damage and they just keep looping back to the super no matter what I say.
So, all that to just ask ya'll to kindly take a look at a couple of photos I'll be including of the new hole in my bathroom ceiling. I see some water stains in the wood. How concerned should we be about structural integrity? What do ya'll think?
