A Partial State of Awfulness on the 35th Floor

A Partial State of Awfulness on the 35th Floor

(Yes, I will take photos of the other floors.  If you want your floor done sooner, let me know.)

This separation or crack appears near the end of the Shaw Tower hallway.

The door to the utility room punched a hole in the wall.  We only hope that it is fixed better than holes we have seen patched in the past in the hallway walls.

This door fixture was removed allowing for the door to slam into the wall which is not good for unit owners.

Cracking on the walls near the elevators.

This indicator light has always slid into the fixture but no care or concern for this is apparent.

This is just more of the rotten restoration work.  Again, if the entrances were done properly the first time, no reason the same cannot be done now.  The question is why is this not taking place?

This is that crack from floor to floor near the elevator going to the Mayflower tower.  This one has a poor patch job.

This is another crack on the other side of the window.

This is moulding with some sort of problem near a water cabinet.

A common sight in the elevators and always changing.  What concerns built this building?  Who was maintaining standards during construction?  And why are there all these damn unending problems?

Elevator outages continue

This post was made at another forum and the resident asked for it to be posted to the blog.

"Apparently this morning around 12am August 1,2015, there were only two elevators in service.The other four elevators were out of service, specially on weekends."

(Yes, I will take photos of the other floors.  If you want your floor done sooner, let me know.)

The first four photos are Passenger Elevators 1 & 2.  The next shots are 3 through to the Service Elevator.  You will also notice a shot of the floor where there are permanent stains.  We are not sure if this was done in the process of restoring or not.  The restoration is awful.  Just awful.  Look at elevator entrances on each floor and see the work done.  If the elevator entrances were done properly as sold and turned over in 2009, why could they not be properly restored now?

See below for comments on unrelated elevator photos near the bottom of this post.  

The window sills near the elevators have been used as ashtrays and garbage holders.  Who is so awful to do this?  Then most, if not all, floors have seen the garbage on the connectors outside the windows.  Who does this and why?

This crack has been spackled and painted but it is back.  You many see it on many floors just around the corner from the elevators going to the Mayflower tower.  Do those that built the building have an explanation?

Do many recall the ropes and scaffolds with workers sealing and painting the outside walls?  Well, was that to stop this from taking place?  This is peeling below the windows going to the Mayflower tower.  Again, do those that built the buildings have an explanation for this?  You know, I see issues in this and other buildings, where is quality control and knowledge & skill to build?  Where?  Those in and outside are leaning about the condominium industry.  It is not a pretty picture.

Scrap policy on property ads? Why?

Scrap policy on property ads?  Why?

I do not know about this ad company, but I have seen many other ads and how they ever passed a judgement using Presidential Decree 957 and HLURB Board Resolution 921 is only known to them, God and the Devil. How many have even read these two docs? I have.

What to Report?

What to Report?

Yes, there have not been many postings but the piles are here of material with more coming.  The elevators are still a mess.  Will they ever be fixed?  The destruction of the entrances in order to finally complete the building of Soho Central Condominium are then repaired but hardly to the original.  Why?

The first photos up to the last one below are of the Service Elevator.  This entrance has been destroyed in the past to try to fix this one of six elevators.  The repair job was as awful as the rest on each floor from those I have seen.  If they were able to build the entrances before properly, what was the problem in fixing them now?  Why give us this mess.  Look at this!  What a disgrace.  Sickening.

The last photo is Passenger Elevator 5.  Like the others on all the floors destruction and then repair to much less quality.  Unit Owners, how will this impact the value of each of your units?

I will try to post but much of it will only be bad news.  Hearing from other buildings about Metro Manila seems as if the condominium industry as a whole is spiraling downwards.  What is being done about this?  I have not heard anything and expect the worst to come.

The Sick Joke called the Elevators

The Sick Joke called the Elevators

The sick and pathetic and dangerous joke called the elevators continues. I was sent this text message yesterday morning:

"Careful of passenger elevator 2. Middle one. 4 of us got stuck while going down. Intercom elevator working. Report filed."

Later last night a resident said they also took the same elevator later that morning stating that if someone had not pushed the button on another floor they would have been stuck, too.

Why was the elevator allowed to run when broken?
