I live in a building owned by a slumlord and without pulling permits the Landlord hired under the counter workers to come paint the building which is 25 feet high with this extremely bright white paint

so

now you cannot even look at the building without your eyes watering. He did this to hide the severe structural decay and the foundation cracks going up the brick and mason rebuilding. The building has a stucco finish that has been breaking and falling off into the street because of extreme water damage.

Are these paints allowed to be used on large buildings in a metro area or can I report him not just for painting without a permit but for painting a color that is so bright it creates a real hazard for the drivers on the busy street?

Also are you allowed to just throw the paint buckets into a regular dumpster?

Currently the post office is not disclosing to customers that rounding up can result in a charge.

I mean this quite literally, there is no page that the post office has published available to customer stating that there is a penalty for declaring a weight higher than the package actually weighs

In fact

They have multiple current customer guidelines that explicitly instruct a customer to overstate the weight of the package.

In 250 years the post office has never charged customers more for having a lighter or smaller package

Until they change these pages to reflect their new policies, they cannot charge you an underweight charge because your package weighs less than what it is declared to weigh

Even a federal agency cannot publish public guidelines that contradict the reality of their far more difficult to locate rules and regulations

If you are charged a fee for your item being underweight simply direct the post office back to its own instructions that say to round up.

In these instructions they never declare an amount that you should round up, they get examples but they do not explicitly state that you cannot round up by one or 2 pounds and they do state that you should always round up

This is from Mark Hamill‘s perspective

One of only 370 NASA astronauts found his dog and asked him to officiate the wedding of two of only 229 people to win the Nobel prize in physics (of which 144 or so are still living, and one of only 2 married couples to win the prize in physics)

Like yeah they’re gonna talk forever about Mark Hamill being their officiant, but he’s gonna also talk about this forever.

I mean he can say that he married the only couple besides Marie Curie and Pierre Curie to win the Nobel prize in physics**.**

Honestly that’s pretty damn cool!

After talking to my Landlord’s “handyman“ I decided to take apart one of the new plugs installed in my apartment

that code said needed to be installed because they weren’t wired correctly.

This leads to a stab lock electrical panel and there is open wiring in the attic as shown in the last photos, the breaker is number three so I took a close up of the breaker.

I am assuming this is not the correct way to wire an outlet, but I’m just gonna triple check and make sure that I’m not missing something that an electrician would be like oh no this is fine and as a lay person I’m overreacting

2 story building (about 20-30ft high)
1923 construction
Asphalt flat roof
The ties are using it as an anchor for a DIRECTV satellite dish that has completely turned over

And make it the cherry on the shit sundae, ebay decided to keep their fees and took the entire amount out of my account

so I got to buy the jacket,
spend the time rehabbing the fur and getting the 1930s smell out of it,
paid for brand new packaging to send it out

and

pay eBay‘s exorbitant final value fee fees (including “promoted listing” fees) out of my own pocket for a destroyed item because they have AI approved all returns for buyers immediately no matter what

Oh the buyer, they have 13 feedback and have been a member for less than a year

Look, can we at least wait until after July 4 before we start selling Halloween decorations? It is 146 days before Halloween, this is just too soon.

I feel like an old cranky lady, but we’re not even into summer yet and valuable retail space is being taken up by a giant skeleton that I also really want

I mean even if you buy it you can’t put it out until at least September 1st so you’re gonna be storing a giant skeleton for three months that you can’t even use but if you don’t buy it now then you can’t have a giant skeleton because they’re gonna run out way before September

I’ve had a bit of a bad day…

Part of the rental agreement when I moved in is that a portion of a deck space was mine for use anyway I wanted. Under a vintage 1950s table I had two crates of vintage bottles. Last week the landlord left a note that all items had to be removed from the deck but because I’m in illegal to speak with him I simply stated that that is theft and that he cannot just take my belongings and throw them away.

I called the police when he came and did it and the police refused to file a report.

It’s not safe for me to try to retrieve the bottles because of all the debris around them and this is a very tall dumpster.

So say goodbye to these beautiful bottles, all 60 of them, they have been murdered

How are there no news articles about the fact that the city Council has just decided to stop having meetings for the foreseeable future preventing people from airing grievances publicly?

Edit- The Long Beach City Council is permitted to be in recess for a maximum of 30 days. Under the Long Beach City Charter, the legislative body is prohibited from adjourning for any period longer than one month.

I was cleaning the house and knocked a battery pack, (the heavy lithium ones, that is about 6 inches long by 3 inches wide by 2 inches high) from a shelf onto my barefoot from about 4 feet in the air

I don’t really feel that part of my foot, those two toes at the base there’s a numb spot all the time that the doctors have said just live with

So I’m not sure if I should just let the toe heal on its own or if I should go to the doctor. Taken into account is that I would have to go to urgent care at Kaiser on Memorial Day weekend to have it seen right now and I’m embarrassed because if they ask me if it hurts I’d say no and they might just look at me and be like then why are you here?

The last time I hurt my foot was the 1990s (at that time if you broke a toe the doctor would put some bandages on it and say good luck) so I’m really not sure, this is about 24 hours after I dropped it on my toe

Code Enforcement (part of building and safety) in Long Beach is literally the only authority that can be turned to when dealing with mold in your rental.

There is no state, county, or federal authority you can turn to. There is no authority that overseas code enforcement, if code enforcement chooses to ignore you your only choice is to take them to court.

Code enforcement is by law the one who is designated to investigate and issue citations.

But if you call code enforcement about mold the standard line is, “we don’t investigate smells“

This despite the fact that by California law they are required to investigate any complaint made about substandard conditions, they are legally not allowed to dismiss without investigation a complaint about mold

So I decided to check and see for our humid Beach city how many open code enforcement cases reference mold over nine districts.

Five

That’s right code enforcement has currently stated only five addresses in all of Long Beach have mold, everything else is perfectly fine

God I hate how fucked up the government of Long Beach is, because the city itself is super cool

Long Beach has about 170,000 rentals. Statistically there are mold complaints in 5 to 15% of rentals in California at any one time. If only 10% of 1% of that 5% reported the violation to code you would have 34 cases.

It is basically statistically improbable to the point of impossible for only five people to have contacted code in regards to mold in the city of Long Beach.

This item is 3 inches tall

I truly don’t know how much more detailed the photographs can get, there are still four more photographs on the listing itself that are not on this thread
