Union complaint is opaque and in front of the Labor Board as we speak. They have raised objection to the city coordinating with us in any way beyond regular curbside trash collection.
So this just means we need to continue working directly with neighbors and businesses to manage the bags on the block and should not expect any coordination with sanitation to help resolve neighbor concerns.

Ah, ok. The term "stack" refers to the drain/vent line, not supply lines. If the vent stack is right there, that's good; the hypothetical new bathroom can drain right into that with no additional venting needed. But yes, you're right--supply lines still need to be brought up to the bath location.

I only know enough plumbing terminology to sound like I know what I’m talking about. The cast iron vent comes up out the roof and right on the other side of the “new bathroom’s” only exterior wall, which I think is what you’re asking about. However when I said “stack” I also meant bringing up water supply lines - there is no plumbing (waste or supply) on the 3rd floor at all currently

How historic is the building? Like on a scale of original Penn Station Station to that gas station?

This attitude is why the US is fascist run by capitalists these days

That's what bureaucrats want you to think, always pointing fingers at the union when, more often than not, it is the company refusing to treat workers right and punishing everyone for workers unionizing then they point their fingers at the union.

I have experience dealing with customers’ unpaid bills. Some of the amounts are truly frightening, even with debt assistance programs.

What is this "union complaint"? How does it affect the program?

In the early 2000s there were no observation decks in the Philly skyscrapers. This building had an event hall on the top floor you could rent out. My girlfriend and I lied about throwing a surprise party for my grandmother just so we could go up and see the views.

Yes, we either clean blocks the day before trash day and place bags curbside for regular curbside collection. Or we coordinate with neighbors on a block to do after trash day cleanups and securely store the bag with a neighbor until the following week.

Don’t forget old meters are not accurate (always slow never fast) so the bill is already too low for many.

Maybe that's out of date. I just signed my block up for Glitter last week, and they said by default they come the day before pickup. They give you the option for them to come the day after pickup, but someone on the block needs to hold bags until the next trash day.
Maybe they changed it knowing that this response from the city was coming.

Thank you. Indeed I have been educated as I understand the scope and magnitude of what we want to do! Part of why I’m looking for a one stop shop.
I also need a good roofer (this dumb house) but that’s unrelated. I saw some recommendations for the Roof Doctor on this Reddit and they are looking nice
