My apartment has experienced recurring ceiling leaks involving brown, foul-smelling water. These conditions existed before the recent sprinkler incident but have become substantially worse since the flooding that occurred in the building in early November 2026. Following that incident, the ceiling leak has intensified. The water is now increasingly discolored, brown, and accompanied by a stronger, offensive odor. Maintenance personnel attempted to address the problem by applying caulk, but this repair was ineffective. The ceiling continues to leak, and the underlying source of the water intrusion has not been identified or adequately repaired. I am extremely concerned that management is relying on superficial maintenance measures while potentially serious moisture intrusion, contamination, and deterioration remain unresolved within the building’s ceilings, walls, and plumbing systems. The recent sprinkler-related flooding reportedly originated on the sixth floor and affected multiple areas of the property. Other residents have already filed complaints with Oakland 311 describing extensive flooding, prolonged use of fans and dehumidifiers, and continuing concerns about the condition of their apartments. One such complaint was acknowledged on November 10, 2026. Given the extent of the reported flooding and my worsening ceiling leak, I am requesting that Code Enforcement independently investigate whether water has penetrated concealed building materials, whether adequate structural drying and moisture testing have occurred, and whether conditions exist that could promote mold growth or otherwise threaten habitability.
