Indoor smoking/drug use continues again today in Building E of the South 67 Condos.  The majority the pollution (if not all of it) effecting my unit is assumed to be coming from E26 & is currently being logged on 3 different sites; timeframe logging can be found here:

Health problems from indoor pollution today:
  • Blurry Vision
  • Chest Pains
  • Coughing
  • Dizziness
  • Headaches
  • Migraines
  • Nausea
  • Ringing Ear
  • Sore Throat
UPDATE:  Looks like when I decided to start making Facebook logs visible to the public again (one log per day, set to friends-only at the end of the day), this has only increased the durations of that pollution in a form of retaliation (at least this is how it appears; I expect the level of toxicity will be getting increased later on, to the point I'll have to start texting Charles about it again).  The guy in E26 is avoiding calls from Charles because he already knows why he's getting called after I've texted Charles about it (he won't know that I've texted Charles until he gets the call), but he might pick up if he has anything to complain about & even one public log per day might be enough for him to pick up on a call from Charles (or to call him himself) to cry about it.

What people need to realize here is that going through the Building Management of the South 67 Condos is not the way to deal with this, because the South 67 Condos Facebook page is not official, it's auto-generated based on people that are marking their posts with the South 67 Condos as the location.  The only way Building Management can take care of the matter would be if it was official & for that to happen they need to claim the page as the owner, which would allow them to moderate every post made to it (technically speaking, official business pages don't even allow visible comments to their page through use of tagging locations, but they do allow comments to posted in most cases; unfortunately in most cases those comments don't even get read).  The other way the building management could take care of the matter would be to contact Facebook & request them to remove the page (however this is less likely to succeed than them just claiming the page as their business), however I'm not the only person posting to it, so this would also remove the tags from everybody else who has tagged the South 67 Condos for the location of their events.  However Charles isn't actually the owner of the South 67 Condos, the HOA is, so really it's the HOA that needs to claim the page to make it official & take control of it.

If people really wanted to get the posts removed, they could report them through the report feature on Facebook, however whether they got removed or not would be dependant on whether the reported post broke Facebook rules or not.  As far as I know, I'm not breaking any rules in this, however it could be considered as spamming due to the sheer volume of the posts, which have turned into daily logging of the problem.  Of course if they wanted the logging to stop completely, they'd start being considerate about how their dirty habit effects others in the building, so I guess they don't really care too much for the logging to stop either.

UPDATE:  Tracked time has pollution from E26 happening for 4 hours & 11 minutes today.  Time is expected to be low however since I wasn't tracking the pollution while I was cooking, as well as it was happening when I got back from shopping.

Temps reached a peak low of 64° F today (see first comment below) due to not using my central air to avoid sucking that filth through the vents from E26; this is also why my gas is currently turned off seeing as I would rather not have to continue paying an upkeep fee to keep it on when I'm not using it (hot water is provided by a central boiler, so I don't need gas for hot water).
