Dear Journal,

Today when I was in my apartment cleaning the chimney, I heard lots of commotion. I look in the hall and there were so many inspectors in the hall with Wolf, my neighbor arguing with Mrs. Dora Goldfein. They were arguing about roaches in the food. Ewwww! But right now I am more interested with the inspectors. We have not had and inspector in… ever! I want to see what is happening so I creep down the hallway. Wolf Goldstein sees me and say hi. The inspectors go into Wolf’s house and I follow. According to the inspectors in each apartment you need to have: at least one working sink, every room needs a window, no animals are allowed, no piles of rags, you can not keep urine or feces (pee and poop), no wallpaper should be overlapped with old wallpaper, and a chimney needs to connect to every stove and fireplace. Wolf failed everything but the window law and the fireplace and stove rules. I felt bad, but the inspectors explained why the laws were laws. The sink was for heath. So was the windows and the urine and feces and the chimney laws. Then we went to the landlord. He was not there so his wife talked to us about the water closets, the hallway and the entire building. Overall the hallway past, the Toilets failed, and the entire building failed! I live in a failed building. We need to change so many things. I feel ashamed. But really it is not my fault. My apartment is totally up to code. I hope these changes are made soon! See you soon!
