(15,583 posts)She doesn't live in NY though. She is a very educated, outspoken person, and has never given two hoots what people think of her. She lives in senior subsidized housing apartments where these sorts of inspections happen for various reasons. I spoke with her a couple days ago and she said they got a notice that it was time for termite inspection. She immediately contacted the building manager and said no one would be allowed to enter her apartment at this time. They tried to give her a little flak but she isn't easily intimidated, so she went above the manager's head and gave them her reasons for not letting anyone in. They backed down. She is as fierce as they come and she is very articulate and a retired medical librarian.
Her usual line is "I'm retired and I have all the time in the world to hound these people. I did not get to this age only to have some bozo bring Covid into my place."
