Once you notice a ceiling water spot or see any water pouring down or sliding down the walls, you must ask your apartment manager (or the owner) to immediately fix all related problems.

Even before the pandemic, electric bikes (or e-bikes) and scooters had become very popular in New York and elsewhere around the country. Yet despite the reasonably short learning curve required to ride them safely, electric bike crashes and scooter accidents have become too frequent – and sometimes deadly.
