Subject: Re: if my building is condemned...
: I've recently discovered seriously crumbling brick and cracks that make me

: demned. Or would we be out on the street?
Take photos and call the buildings dept as soon as possible. You don't
want to be in a building when it collapses, but on the other hand, not
all crumbling brick means the building will fall down. If you are
temporarily dislocated, consult a good lawyer and pay $1 (one dollar)
a month rent to continue the landlord-tenant relationship -- and your
tenancy rights.
