They speak Martian

The water tank in our building must be leaking. We are losing water pressure and the hot water is not getting as hot as it used to. So I called the Centralized Call Center for the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA). I spoke to Mr. Chavez. I told Mr. Chavez that the water tank must be leaking because the ENTIRE building is losing pressure and the hot water is not heating up as usual. After having me wait several minutes so he could do whatever he needed to do Mr. Chavez told me that the hot water issue will be addressed within 24 hours. He then issued a ticket for MY apartment for next week for the water pressure. I told him, "I don't understand why does NYCHA needs to come to MY apartment to check MY water pressure when I told you that the ENTIRE building is losing pressure probably because of a leak?" Mr. Chavez replied, "that right ma'am." Is it me???????????
