Guest guest Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 their local environmental health department might send someone out to do an investigation. Help for the tennants Is anyone aware of any kind of advocacy organization that building tennants in a potentially "sick" building can turn to. I have been contacted by a small group of tennants in a office building setting with IAQ complaints but the building management is ignoring them and basically refuses to do any kind of investigation. I would like to help these people but I have explained that I can't do so without their getting the building owner on board. The office building is apparenty made up of small tennant companies and no one tennant seems to have enough clout to get the management company attention. My only suggestion so far is an attourney familiar with tennant / landlord disputes. I am sure that some of you have run into this before, any other suggestions?FAIR USE NOTICE:This site contains copyrighted material the use of which has not always been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 OSHA might help, but not necessarily. I too think an attorney would help, but suggest an IAQ attorney rather than a landlord tenant attorney. And if the tenants make up enough of the volume of the building, and especially if they have access to common areas, why can't you do at least some investigation that may help? You can go wherever they can go if you work for them. What state are we talking about? Shell Bleiweiss Law Offices Of Shell J.
