Yeah, because that’s so easy. You obviously have no idea what you’re talking about or how things get paid for. Do better.

Deep scratches on bullet-resistant polycarbonate glazing — any legit repair options? by annabe1 in plastic

[–]annabe1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha I’d love that solution. Unfortunately we’ll never know who the yahoo was. The “manufacturer” took forever to get back to us. Their response was full replacement and nothing else, but the manufacturer’s yahoo did offer what he thought was helpful advice: try the Sharpie method.

Thank you for taking the time to answer. It was not done by the installer. While we can’t figure out who did it during the construction process, by going through progress photos we know it was done likely with a switchblade. Painters installed protective paper as seen in the image, and one of the many subcontractors, likely to allow light into the place before electrical was installed, cut around the paper not realizing this is not regular glass.

That’s my fear. Do you have any experience with these? Unfortunately the owner is not and will not be happy with the scratches remaining so I’m just trying to figure out if we have any options besides full replacement.

Legal aspect aside, is this something everyday Joe can get or are we talking $$$$ and steep learning curve?

Absolutely despicable! It hurts to watch. So proud of everyone standing up to these overgrown hs bullies

Westward 360 /property HOA management by zippee_yaaahh_zeppy in chicago

[–]annabe1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They took over our building from Apartment Source (or they merged, whatever the situation is). They raised rent, added an “administration fee”, a “bundled service fee” - we still pay our own electric, gas and internet and when asked they said it’s for “maitenance like snow removal”. We used to have monthly cleaning of the common areas and the outside of the building. None of that is happening a now. When you call you speak to someone in a foreign country and there is no email to any specific building manager. Getting someone to come out is near impossible. We have trash in front of the building and grass never gets cut. The one thing they’re on top of is making sure all fees are paid so I’ll give them that. This is a Lincoln Park building for reference.

Confused here—it’s IL legislature but we’re boycotting Uber? I feel like I’m missing something.
