My super cares--he did everything he should have when it happened the first time. Part of the problem is that we used to have a super living in the building, so in emergencies we could just knock on the door and yelp, "help!" But that super died and his widow couldn't really take care of the building on her own. She lost the apt and moved in with her sister, who lives upstairs. Since then, the super is not in the building (so the landlord could get someone new in to pay much more than the super and his family had paid).
Anyway, my super checked the circuits that are responsible for the living room lo, those many months ago and didn't know what was wrong. So an electrician came in and noodled around, checked the connection in the overhead light, did something (I don't know what) and voila the electricity came on...until last night. So it's worrisome. I don't want to become a statistic of wiring in walls catching fire.
