After more than 3 gallons came in my window during the second weekend in March, a similar large volume came in a week later.

I called the property manager and she yelled at me and said she could not fix it. She did not offer any assistance in ameliorating the problem either.

The following Monday a roof crew came to clear snow and ice off the roof. I snapped this photo.

They yelled at me and I yelled back, eventually we got talking — with them still on the roof — and they told me that the people who put the shingles on just put them on bare plywood without any sealant. They cited that as the likely reason for the leaks.

It probably didn’t help that there were huge blocks of ice and mounds of snow piled on the roof.

That icy mess ended up outside our back window. Some of the ice blocks even had shingle stuck to them.
