To sue or not to sue

I found this amusing piece in The New York Times. Apparently MIT is going to sue architect Frank Gehry. Amongst the many reasons cited, MIT says that the newly constructed center has persistent seepage problem.
Now CPWD has been at the service of our nation for 150 years. Every construction has the mandatory seepage problem. When I moved into the transit house three years ago, I discovered it for myself. The first showers resulted in massive seepage and yes, mold too, as MIT asserts.
Letters went to the chief engineer. Finally, last year they decided to mend the problem. They got the materials, cleaned the roof, and declared proudly that it was completely done. As a proof they poured water over the roof. Does it leak now, they asked? As a matter of fact, when they poured water over the roof, it poured down into the house too. I put a bucket underneath the leak and wrote nasty letters to the chief Engineer because nothing can be done without written complaint. Ultimately, I got some respite.
My favorite story though is that of the New Transit House. It was built some years back and the folks living in the ground floor noticed seepage. Funny, because the floors above were perfectly okay. The CPWD was called in. They poked and prodded and then finally diagnosed the problem. The pipe from up and the pipe from the side were not joined.
"We forgot, Madam," they said apologetically to the occupant.
