Another flooding cleanup at Easy Street

10:08 AM: Thanks for the texted tip. The Easy Street crew is cleaning up after flooding again this morning, one month after the indoor deluge that damaged records and clothing. But this time, proprietor Matt Vaughan says, it’s the café, not the record store. Though last month’s flooding was blamed on a pipe from an upstairs apartment, Matt says the source of today’s flooding remains undetermined. The café is closed until cleaned up but he says tonight’s 7 pm in-store performance with Thee Deception is definitely still on.

10:54 AM: Matt clarifies that the flooding was definitely from above – as in, over the café.

    This is the second serious threat to this awesome beloved institution and it needs to stop. Easy Street is being wronged here, don’t want to see them harmed further. They should be talking to good lawyers – pronto.

    Sounds like old metal piping.   Perhaps building needs to be repiped.   We recently went into that process and were shocked how bad the pipes were behind the walls.  They could have burst at any time.   Now we have all plex pipe plus the water pressure is completely different as much stronger.

      It’s hard for business owners who don’t own their buildings.

        It is, however, there may be enough evidence to show negligence on behalf of the landlord at this point, and they could be sued.
