Subject: 137 12th Street, #4A: Kitchen Drawer Smells Faintly Of (Human) Urine
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

Gentlemen,

Amongst the long list of defects with this unit, one of them is that one 
of the kitchen drawers smells very faintly like urine.

Because the drawer directly above the funny-smelling drawer is missing 
(manager said they were in the process of replacing it when we moved in, 
but it never happened), the intent was to replace both drawers in the 
same operation.

We tried washing it out but the smell returned.

Our solution has been to not store things in that drawer - but, frankly, 
I have concerns about the entire cabinet.

I haven't looked into the cost of replacing kitchen cabinets but surely 
this cabinet is half a century old, and well past its effective lifespan.

So, I don't know if you have any thresholds set for levels of human 
excrement permitted in kitchens or any way to detect such things (other 
than one's nose), but if there are any regulations that address this 
sort of contamination, I'd sure love to hear about them.


Thanks in advance,
