While the roof. replacement will (hopefully) solve the water issue, I doubt if the dust coming down will stop.. The timber ceilings on ALL floors evidently have a lot of crap stuck in the crevices. When the owners above me replaced their carpets I had a layer of debris over everything that was loosened by the vibrations caused by the work. Recently someone dropped something heavy above me and small stones rained down. Often things simply fall from the ceiling for no apparent reason. I am constantly sweeping up small stones. So, while 7th floor residents can count on the new roof stopping water leaks, they will never be free from dust, etc. as long as there is traffic or other vibrations (like fron AC units) on the roof. The stuff is coming from the ceilings. Don't know what the solution to this problem is.

I'm in #702. Mine was pretty bad this time too. The water somehow got past my attempts to stop it and some made it through to my neighbor in the unit below mine. If I had not been home the damage to my unit and the one below could have been much worse. I think we are all at risk for serious damage while we live with this condition.

I do appreciate the efforts of the board and Donna. While not much could be done they were responsive. Thank you Jim for answering email even when on vacation.

 I understand there are many issues involved and the board is doing its best. I would, however, like to see this problem solved as soon as feasible for all of our peace of mind and the protection of our property.

I agree totally. I too live on the 7th floor and am so sick of dealing with t in my apartment and by the back elevator. I bring this up every time, we on the 7th floor pay more assessments than everyone else and suffer the most.

I know we briefly covered this in the annual meeting but I was wondering if someone can clarify again why are we waiting until 2010 to fix the roof.
 
Over the holidays the roof was leaking in my place again as well as in the common back elevator area. I know that many others on the 7th floor deal with the leaking roof as well whenever it rains or snows. So why are we waiting until 2010 to fix a problem this is probably causing more damage to our building? And why are we spending $10,000K on a architecture to draw up the plans? Isn't this the job of the roofing companies to come give us estimates and their proposals?
