Q. Last night our elderly neighbor went out and left her dinner cooking on the stove, causing a panic when the hallway filled with smoke and bad smells and set off smoke alarms.
Fortunately the super was around and let himself into her apartment to shut off the stove before things got worse. But who knows whether we'll be so lucky next time.
What do people do about elderly neighbors' safety (and their own)?
A. This situation is unfortunately common. But it's possible to preserve dignity and safety at the same time.
Ever wonder what it's like to spend your day in a paneled box shuttling wealthy New Yorkers from lobby to landing and back again?
With the mercury stirring from its seasonal sloth, you may soon be tempted to power up your air conditioner.
But think again if you have pigeons or other birds nesting there: Though some people find roosting pigeons a laughing matter, the birds' dried-up droppings can harbor diseased spores which pose a danger to compromised immune systems when blown through your apartment.
While researching today's post about pigeons roosting in air conditioners, BrickUnderground stumbled across this gently twisted poetic gem.
