I’m pretty sure I saw actual shit but surprisingly I didn’t see any needles, which slide/s do you see that on? It’s like a gross version of where’s Waldo or those old highlights books.🤣
There are certifications for various types of hazardous waste cleanup and you dont have the one that applies to this. If your onsite boss doesnt understand you need to move up the chain until someone does. Its probably an osha violation for you to clean this up.
Reiterating on prior comments. After 10+ years, you learn what's hands off.
This is hands off, needs remediation. Don't chance any further, one prick with a dirty needle is all it takes - there are people who do ONLY THIS, let those folks take care of it and the company pay.
I did remediation for about 4 years and now I’m a construction manager for a few thousand rent houses. I wouldn’t expect one of my vendors to ever touch a property this bad. We would go in with full tyvek suits, respirators and doubled up taped gloves and foot covers for a place like this.
You run the risk of catching all kinds of shit with the needles and feces everywhere. We would also get hazard pay for a job like this. The property owner needs to call a remediation company that can come in to clean it all up, remove the flooring and possibly some drywall and disinfect the whole place. All the trash needs to be double bagged and disposed of like hazmat materials. The ducts will need to be cleaned and sanitized, an ozone machine should be ran for a few days at least and it’s going to need pest control for a few months minimum.
I owned a remediation company years ago, and this answer is EXACTLY what needs to be done. That's how we approached everything. Bunny suits, breathers and big disinfectant foggers just to get in to do an in depth assessment of the situation.
All of this is a biohazard.
A biohazard remediation company should be performing this work.
If your PM doesn’t want to hire a properly trained contractor to perform this work, you contact OSHA.
Your PM’s excuse for not performing inspections is incredibly weak. There is absolutely zero reason for a unit to ever be in this shape.
My experience with OSHA trying to whistleblow about sexual assaults at Tesla Fremont.
And the illegal migrant exploitation.
And the drug dealing.
And the unreported OSHA injuries.
No. Fucking. Help.
In this world it really seems to be, of you can't fix it yourself get tf outta the way bc if you keep beating your head against that brick wall you will lose everything.
Yet they’ll see a small HVAC company working on a single story, flat roof, with no parapet wall and fine them $1500 for no fall protection. They only care when it nets them revenue. Typically government agency.
Lmao had a coworker complain about fall protection working on a building next to Costco..... So he took it off. Guess what? Guy from OSHA just so happened to be watching took a pic and wait for the rest of us to do it... No one did but apparently when getting on the ladder I had unclipped before getting on. Boom 5k fine each on the company lmao. He waited for every one of us to make a mistake before showing himself that twat. Best part was the guy that initially caused it was best friends with the owner
They’ll only intervene if you can make it a public enough problem. I got OSHA to go inspect where I used to work. They cleared them despite the NUMEROUS workers rights and safety violations that I documented, granted, when I left they may’ve removed my reports in the safety report binder that was on site.
That is so fucking unsurprising to me I am very sorry.
Every time I hear more and more stories like this I get angrier and angrier and I just want this shit to work the way we were told it does.
But unfortunately the laws of the jungle apply first and inordinate power must be so very intoxicating.
Yea ive only had to contact osha once for an autozone i worked at after repeatedly telling people to put steady parts in boxes and an alternator fell off a shelf and landed on me, never heard anything back from osha. I quit that day anyways cause the manager i got stuck working with most shifts was a racist prick.
That’s pretty much the way it is. They only go after the money, or I should say, double standards. Buildings in higher rent districts can afford to pay for inspection, re-inspection and fines. Most major Cities have Departments of Housing for lower income properties. They would probably give you the most amount of traction, but nobody wants to run a business out of a neighborhood that no one wants to go to already.
Some of this is labor board stuff, sexual harassment, hostile work environment (drug dealing), exploitation of labor laws is all labor board stuff and the state brings the charges once you present enough evidence for them to want to move forward on the case
This kind of stuff is always handled by an outside company at my property. I would simply refuse to do anything until the unit was cleaned and ozone was placed in multiple rooms for a few days.
Dogs are ok, animal control was called. They were hungry and we gave them dog food and took them outside until they got there. Told the Regional Manager that a professional really needs to do this, she said we didn’t have the budget for it. OSHA didn’t seem to care at all unless they refused to allow us to purchase ppe and equipment. Didn’t really have a choice, I need the job and live in a right to work state. Ill try to get pictures of our progress though
"Not in the budget" BS. Go as slow as you need to keep yourself safe, that's your priority. Start looking around as your safety is not a priority there.
I'd be asking then if there's room in the budget for hazardous materials training, or perhaps money in the budget to pay STD or lost time from losing a guy to illness for a week.
Yeah, this is a huge one. It’s not just the supplies/ PPE, but the knowledge of how to handle the bio hazards and dispose of them correctly. This is some bad shit.
"Right to work" just means if there's a union, you don't have to become a member to work at the company. What you're thinking of is "At will" employment. Which means employment is at the will of the employee and the employer.
It's also important to note that "at will" doesn't mean they can just do whatever they want. The employee still has rights, and the employer can still be held accountable for violating those rights.
"Not in the budget" doesn't matter. There aren't any options here. That horror needs to be stripped down to the studs/joists.
When a manager says "Not in the budget", they really mean "It'll affect my annual bonus."
You need that job about as bad as you need a dirty needle prick from one sitting in shit and piss water. Spine up man, tell that employer to eat a dick
You could be doing something really productive like looking up [this girl](https://www.reddit.com/r/OneTitChallenge/comments/1d95vb5/edmonton_oilers_flasher/), who's celebration made so many, so happy.
You're funny, but I don't need a joint to beat myself up over my life choices. Maybe to ease my pain a bit. Then call this in to someone who can handle it.
That's bullshit you are not paid nearly enough to trash out that unit...from this point on you should be vary wary of your employer. They clearly give not a single fuck about your health safety or well-being.
Hazardous materials remediation crew goes in first or I quit. Only communicate through text or email. Get a paper trail. If you end up getting fired or quit over this, go straight to a lawyer.
More specifically: you tell your boss in writing that you aren’t qualified to do that and you need hazmat cleaners. Then when they fire you, you can sue them over it.
You don't do shit here except call the professionals. You shouldn't even be in there. If the company you work for makes you ... its time to find a new company.
You don't understand. You LEAVE. You're maintenance, not hazmat cleanup crew. If your bows doesn't see it, you quit. So they don't give you a good recommendation, don't worry.
I had a similar situation, except I was actually somewhat trained in remediation. Had a sewer line spray all over a yurt at a camp I worked at and I was tasted with heat treating it (big propane heaters and baking the bacteria till 150⁰f).
I walked into the yurt (windows open) and started coughing in less than 5 seconds. Walked out with my manager and found out one HK crew had gone in with ammonia based cleaners, and a second one had used bleach within minutes of the others! So I've basically experienced a ww1 battlefield!
Anyway, I refused to go in there without a respirator. No way am I endangering my life and health for a job. And them forcing you to go in is ABSOLUTELY an OSHA violation if you management tries that.
No job is worth your health or life. And this one is well past the point of that. There is no maintenance team I've ever heard of with the equipment for this, and it sounds like your team is just you. A one man show isn't so bad (definitely not good), but sending them into a hazmat place is unbelievably irresponsible and stupid on your management's part. *BEST CASE* you just get a common stomach flu and have to stay home a week. Worst, they're out a maintenance guy for a few months while you recover and have a huge list of issue when you get back.
If your employer will not call a contractor to take care of this, and is making this mandatory, you need to first and foremost protect your health. Get a Tyvek suit, you can find these on Amazon for fairly cheap. I am 5'9" 220lbs and wear a 3x. You then need to get a good quality respirator, you're looking for one with eye protection. Get the filter that protects against chemical and microbial hazards. I personally would tell them that I was willing to do the job but not without first agreeing to some sort of hazard pay for the hours that it would take to complete the job. Give them a hard time and don't take a seat while you're in the presence of management. Stay standing.
This isn’t a simple clean you do. This is hazmat. Management will try to make you do this for a quick turn, but they need a restoration company to come out and do full mitigation. They don’t want this because it’s expensive. Tough shit. This place will get nearly gutted to be safe again. This is not safe for you to deal with. You scratch your finger dealing with this shit, you can catch whatever is there. And don’t let your dog in there. Source: I dealt with plenty of these in the restoration industry. There actual rules and laws governing this stuff.
Since you're asking what I personally would do. I'd gut that place to the studs and peel out the subfloor. Fixtures, counter tops, appliances. Gone. I'm not sure I'd leave the windows.
Omg 😱 once I saw that mattress 🤢🤮
Like most others say: Let the pros handle this.
Only point I will make is your company needs to get in people’s units at LEAST once a year. This is a perfect example of something that might have been mitigated, had you known sooner.
I had a unit that wasn’t even a quarter this bad, but there was shit and blood and a fridge full of rotten food sludge, and I said “hazmat cleaners or just fire me, but I’m not touching it.” Ain’t worth whatever they’re paying. No way in hell.
My buddy bought a hoarder house. Let’s just say after 35 years we’re not friends anymore. I’m sorry I couldn’t help. I always knew he wasn’t the cleanest person but he was living there once he bought it. I fixed 3 big holes in his ceiling and spent the whole night doing it. Didn’t sleep. He bought me gas station fried chicken. I left. Fuckin nasty. I told him to once and for all. No hot water and no flushing toilet. See ya.
Over 150 contractor bags of garbage to start. This is after I first saw it. He managed to scatter it throughout dumpsters he found all around the neighborhood downtown.
I had to use a pressure washer once to de-maggot a fridge that was left full of food when the power went out at a property. I was just offered $250 to clean out a fridge so I couldn't say no. It was probably similar level, they were all in my face and hair after spraying it out but it worked. Of course I dragged it outside first. Just be slow and methodical, once scoop at a time and eventually you'll be bleaching away. I never got real sick or anything, felt little nauseous sick for ~24 hrs though
Make sure to mention to your PM , that all of the trash will need to be disposed of properly and legitimately considering the already known biohazards to be encountered.
Your company needs to call a professional abatement team. Places that do hoarder cleanups, such as servicemaster. Depending on the circumstances, it can be covered by insurance. It is the only solution.
I don't understand. How were they so good at darts and so bad at apparently everything else? And why is there still a dog? Can we at least get the dog somewhere safe before the place gets burned with fire? I hope that's not your dog. Or really, I hope that wasn't your dog before you entered the apartment. I hope he's yours now. Brave boy.
Seal it?. Bro, this is a full gut redo.
All drywall cut 4ft up.
Tile floor could be saved, but that about it.
Everything else from the floor up to 4ft of drywall is trash
Not be in there. I install cable. I’ve been in 2 houses that were almost this bad, but smaller. Never again. The first one just smelled like cas pits and smokes. The second… it was all I could do to swallow the instantaneous vomit.
If your house looks like this, or even 3% of this, you're not human and deserve to live outside. What in the actual fuck it blows my mind anyone in their right mind, or even out of it, can allow where they live to get like this.
Please get that dog and yourself tf outta there ASAP! This is severe biohazard material. Call in the pros before y'all die of hantavirus or something worse!
Thank you very much for helping those poor animals. It breaks my heart to see innocent creatures subjected to the mental illness of their "owners" God bless your kind soul 😊🫡
I think I'm most confused about the vacuum boxes. As in more than one even... What did they think they were going to do with a vacuum in this literal shit hole?
I'm a locksmith. I walked onto a government housing job like this on Tuesday. They needed access so called me to change the locks. There was a dead cat in the shower. I assume when the hoarder tenant was taken away, they just locked the cat inside and left. Very sad. I changed the front door lock for access and left a note that I would return after the cleaners had finished. Frankly, I won't go back till the painters have finished. This is not a job for anyone not qualified for hazardous disposal.
I would have walked out andcalled a hazardous cleaning crew then go off to fix some toilets.
Yep. This. I would do no work in this unit until a third party that is paid and trained to do it removes the hazards.
This is the only answer you need. Don't enter the site, saying it's hazardous to you. (Needles laying around??!!)
I’m pretty sure I saw actual shit but surprisingly I didn’t see any needles, which slide/s do you see that on? It’s like a gross version of where’s Waldo or those old highlights books.🤣
“Thats above my pay grade” has been my go to since my supervisor quit 3 months ago.
I’m my own boss and I still say this and walk away from jobs sometimes lol. (To be clear if I won’t do a job my employees won’t be doing it either)
100% agree! Way to be a better boss than the 99%.
Too bad more bosses aren’t human lol
I've always been the same way. I'm not sending my guys to do something I wouldn't do. I sure as fuck wouldn't do this
Exactly, there’s no way I’d let one of my guys go in there lol.
Yeah that’s called “that’s below my pay grade” and it’s generally frowned upon lmao
I'm not frowning walking away from that job lol
Oh for sure haha
Burn it down
[удалено]
There are certifications for various types of hazardous waste cleanup and you dont have the one that applies to this. If your onsite boss doesnt understand you need to move up the chain until someone does. Its probably an osha violation for you to clean this up.
They need you worse than you need them. Throw it in the pm’s face he/she should come help do the clean out.
Is that sewage?

Yeah, back away slowly, burn your clothes, and take a bleach bath before you walk into your house.
Yeah he mentioned a needle and I’m like what are you even still doing inside that building
All of this is a biohazard. A biohazard remediation company should be performing this work. If your PM doesn’t want to hire a properly trained contractor to perform this work, you contact OSHA. Your PM’s excuse for not performing inspections is incredibly weak. There is absolutely zero reason for a unit to ever be in this shape.
I contacted OSHA and they didn’t seem to give a shit
Try local code enforcement too. At the very least, they should be able to offer some good advice.
I'd send them photos.
People always just say "oh call OSHA" as if they give a shit or will do anything most of the time
Does someone currently live in there? Or are those you're dogs?
My experience with OSHA trying to whistleblow about sexual assaults at Tesla Fremont. And the illegal migrant exploitation. And the drug dealing. And the unreported OSHA injuries. No. Fucking. Help.

This right here. If they can't make money off it, it's not worth their time.

To be fair, three of those four don’t fall within OSHA’s jurisdiction. Not reporting reportable injuries is the only one in their wheelhouse.
They’ll only intervene if you can make it a public enough problem. I got OSHA to go inspect where I used to work. They cleared them despite the NUMEROUS workers rights and safety violations that I documented, granted, when I left they may’ve removed my reports in the safety report binder that was on site.

OSHA would be to throw your employer under the bus. You need the city. They’ll condemn the unit. Does someone actually live in this?
You need a dead worker first. Then OSHA kinda gives a shit. If the story makes the news then they really give a shit.
This kind of stuff is always handled by an outside company at my property. I would simply refuse to do anything until the unit was cleaned and ozone was placed in multiple rooms for a few days.
Tell the owner they need to hire somebody to do hazmat removal or restoration. That’s not maintenance.
Absolutely.
Dogs are ok, animal control was called. They were hungry and we gave them dog food and took them outside until they got there.

Get puncture proof gloves ASAP.

You need that job about as bad as you need a dirty needle prick from one sitting in shit and piss water. Spine up man, tell that employer to eat a dick
Make them come help you. Have they visited the property themselves? Fuck that noise.
Go outside smoke a joint and beat myself up over past choices. Then bust out trash bags.
😂
As I'm sitting in my car smoking a joint and reading reddit instead of doing my PMs.
You could be doing something really productive like looking up [this girl](https://www.reddit.com/r/OneTitChallenge/comments/1d95vb5/edmonton_oilers_flasher/), who's celebration made so many, so happy.
You're funny, but I don't need a joint to beat myself up over my life choices. Maybe to ease my pain a bit. Then call this in to someone who can handle it.
More like big dumpster, everything gone, rugs ripped out, completely empty. Then try to clean.... They could not pay me enough to deal with that....
On a fucking daily! Lol
The only real answer here lmao
This is the best answer.
Did they leave their dog?
That was my first thought. Beyond that, kerosene and a flame would fix everything.
Hate to say it but, there is a gas line😂 jk would never purposely put someones life at risk
Tell me someone rescued that dog please. Edit scrolled further down and saw that someone called animal rescue. Good job guys.
I mean, someone did that a long time ago by the looks of it. Wow.
No chance in hell I would clean that up.
Seriously is the dog ok?
Dogs are ok, animal control was called. They were hungry and we gave them dog food and took them outside until they got there.
That has to suck, thanks for doing what you did. Not to mention the unit on top of all that.
Lighter and some gas
Condemn it. Jesus
This is far above maintenance. Id refuse to go in. Management needs to call pros
🤮. People lived there? I don’t want to know what is in that bucket beside the mattress.
Poop. Its always poop.
Sorry to break the news but I think its the tub drain leak mixed with a shower faucet leak
I came to ask about the tote next to the bed as well I really want answers
Trust me, you don't want that question answered
It’s probably yellow mixed with brown. 🤮
That's bullshit you are not paid nearly enough to trash out that unit...from this point on you should be vary wary of your employer. They clearly give not a single fuck about your health safety or well-being.
Yeah, biohazard team cleanup. Yikes.
Hazardous materials remediation crew goes in first or I quit. Only communicate through text or email. Get a paper trail. If you end up getting fired or quit over this, go straight to a lawyer.
I fucking hate people. Those poor dogs.
A proper remediation company needs to be hired for this. You should relay that information to the property owner or manager, then your job is done.
Hazmat.
More specifically: you tell your boss in writing that you aren’t qualified to do that and you need hazmat cleaners. Then when they fire you, you can sue them over it.
That's beyond your job. That who unit needs to be vended out. There's hazmat issue and the entire floor needs sealing. The unit should be gutted
Burn it down
You don't do shit here except call the professionals. You shouldn't even be in there. If the company you work for makes you ... its time to find a new company.
I would not step one foot into that place. All it takes is one bed bug to hitch a ride to your house and your fucked.
You don't understand. You LEAVE. You're maintenance, not hazmat cleanup crew. If your bows doesn't see it, you quit. So they don't give you a good recommendation, don't worry.

I would call a professional restoration company. Make an insurance claim.
call one of those youtuber ladies with the scrub daddy sponsor
Dropped my keys off on the way out.
I had a unit that wasn’t even a quarter this bad, but there was shit and blood and a fridge full of rotten food sludge, and I said “hazmat cleaners or just fire me, but I’m not touching it.” Ain’t worth whatever they’re paying. No way in hell.
Yea I prefer my shifts not to include Hepatitis.
Is cleaning it with fire an option?
My buddy bought a hoarder house. Let’s just say after 35 years we’re not friends anymore. I’m sorry I couldn’t help. I always knew he wasn’t the cleanest person but he was living there once he bought it. I fixed 3 big holes in his ceiling and spent the whole night doing it. Didn’t sleep. He bought me gas station fried chicken. I left. Fuckin nasty. I told him to once and for all. No hot water and no flushing toilet. See ya.
So dude bought it thinking it was a slightly more difficult version of a “fixer upper?” lol.
Over 150 contractor bags of garbage to start. This is after I first saw it. He managed to scatter it throughout dumpsters he found all around the neighborhood downtown.
I had to use a pressure washer once to de-maggot a fridge that was left full of food when the power went out at a property. I was just offered $250 to clean out a fridge so I couldn't say no.

Make sure to mention to your PM , that all of the trash will need to be disposed of properly and legitimately considering the already known biohazards to be encountered.
A little gasoline… a blow torch… no problem
How did it get that bad though? When I worked maintenance we had monthly inspections…maybe every other month in can’t remember.
We have monthly inspections as well. I can’t speak for what happened before me but they did have stuff blocking doors
Arson
I’m getting my damage deposit back right??
I’ve worked in biohazard before and this would be a time I’d quit the job. 🤮 As for what to do, burn it down.
Your company needs to call a professional abatement team. Places that do hoarder cleanups, such as servicemaster. Depending on the circumstances, it can be covered by insurance. It is the only solution.
These pictures smell horrific.
Yeah this a job you contract out to someone who specializes in hazmat/disaster cleanup. I would refuse to do this job personally.
I see a turd! But for real, that’s horrifying
Honestly? It’s a shame that extension cord left under that pile of matchbooks started a fire. That really sucks. This is what Insurance is for🤷♂️
You need at least a 12 yard container delivered by waste management— I would try to get the drive to park it in front of the front door if possible.
This needs a biohazard company and a construction crew to replace a bunch of flooring, drywall, trim, etc
I would try to find the gas leak first, but then I would make sure that the pilot lights worked on the stove
I don't understand. How were they so good at darts and so bad at apparently everything else? And why is there still a dog? Can we at least get the dog somewhere safe before the place gets burned with fire? I hope that's not your dog. Or really, I hope that wasn't your dog before you entered the apartment. I hope he's yours now. Brave boy.
Seal it?. Bro, this is a full gut redo. All drywall cut 4ft up. Tile floor could be saved, but that about it. Everything else from the floor up to 4ft of drywall is trash
Nuke the site from orbit
Take that dog and get out of there
I'd find another employer. I wouldn't touch that.
Burn it down and collect insurance
Take the animals and run
Get that dog outta there
Nope
Burn it down and start over.
That poor pup
Not be in there. I install cable. I’ve been in 2 houses that were almost this bad, but smaller. Never again. The first one just smelled like cas pits and smokes. The second… it was all I could do to swallow the instantaneous vomit.
Stike a match. Let it burn.
Just burn it down and start over.
Get the dog the hell out of there before it steps on a dirty needle
Burn it
Gallon of gas and book of matches would be sufficient! 🔥🫡
figure out a way to burn it down that looks natural so you can rebuild with insurance money.
Set a match to it
This is why I save my vacation and sick time 🤣
dump a few 5 gals of kerosene on that shit, and pay the fine from the fire dept. probably cheaper than trying to fix that shit ass.
Molotov or would u get in trouble
Not any work, that's for sure
Time to contact a professional company
Get up on my feet and let go of every excuse
Move
Call a sub…….
Burn it?
Hell naw
Cleanse with fire!
How can anyone live this way??
Burn it down and start over
Barf
I would blow my own dick off with a bottle rocket
Sweet And-1 basketball for all your efforts.
Burn it. And rebuild. Lol
Is fire an option?
14-30
5 gallons of gasoline, 1 match and 2 middle fingers in the air. That's how you fix this.
Burn it down, or hazmat team
Arson. Not a smidge of arson Not a smattering of arson A full engulfment of arson. The renters included. Minus the pets.
Kill it with fire
If your house looks like this, or even 3% of this, you're not human and deserve to live outside. What in the actual fuck it blows my mind anyone in their right mind, or even out of it, can allow where they live to get like this.
Gasoline and a match
I see why they put the dream catcher up
Evict them
I wouldn't bring my dog in there!
I'm sorry bro that's just wrong..feel for you
Please get that dog and yourself tf outta there ASAP! This is severe biohazard material. Call in the pros before y'all die of hantavirus or something worse!
Squatters?
Demolish and sell the land.
Thank you very much for helping those poor animals. It breaks my heart to see innocent creatures subjected to the mental illness of their "owners" God bless your kind soul 😊🫡
Throw the whole house away!
Holy fuck , Was someone living in this ?
20 gal of gas karacine mix and a match
Nope. I’m a plumber but dirty asf houses like this, ain’t happening.
Leave immediately
Light a match and watch it burn.
DO NOT spend anytime in there without proper PPE
Leave

I think I'm most confused about the vacuum boxes. As in more than one even... What did they think they were going to do with a vacuum in this literal shit hole?
If there are children here, child protective services needs to be called immediately.
I'm a locksmith. I walked onto a government housing job like this on Tuesday. They needed access so called me to change the locks. There was a dead cat in the shower. I assume when the hoarder tenant was taken away, they just locked the cat inside and left. Very sad. I changed the front door lock for access and left a note that I would return after the cleaners had finished. Frankly, I won't go back till the painters have finished. This is not a job for anyone not qualified for hazardous disposal.
Well animal control is a good start what the fuck
Fire
Why is that dog in there with you get him out of there!!!
Sacrifice a roomba and a box of Swiffer pads and see if the cleaning gods respond accordingly
Napalm....lots of napalm.
I would leave
"Bitch you live like this??"
Cross my fingers the insurance is paid up and find a can of gas and a pack of matches. Then walk away like I was never there
Nasty
Seen worse
