I noticed that there was a lot of water pooling on the right side of the building and I asked one of the kids about it.
He said that the basement is waist deep with water and that the land-lord hasn't done anything about it. Granted, he is a kid so take that with a grain of salt. But if it's true, I don't see how the building could have functioning utilities.

You can hear the sound of running water while standing outside of the building, and if you're in the backyard there is a noticeable sewage smell emanating from the basement.
Is there a way to report this as an emergency?
