Follow the Water: How a Simple Leak Led to Diplomatic Relations

Water damage is not a unique occurrence in residential apartment buildings, but a recent crisis at an Upper East Side co-op got complicated to fix. Water was pooling in the boiler room and seeping into the electric meter room, and a shareholder’s apartment was damaged. Aaron Weber, property manager at Weber Realty Management, shares the challenging tale of investigation, dye testing, insurance denials, financing, and a neighboring embassy's collapsed sewer line — and how the co-op finally solved the issue. Habitat’s Emily Myers conducts the interview.
