    IMHO, which no pays attention to, the old roof should come up and
    the whole thing re-tarred. Never had a problem when tar was used.
    Or none to speak of.
    As you say, flat roofs do better with being tarred... now, you just
    need to convince the landlord to do the proper job....

    I think he might be coming to that decision.
    Originally it was my just place and then another. Now others are complaining.
    The building super told me in private the landlord is now "thinking"
    about that after having to patch here and there all the time.

    I hope the super is right... and that the landlord really does follow
    thru with properly taking care of the roof.... It should save him money
    and hassle eventually... :)

    When a previous landlord replaced the roof I got a leak from a sky
    light in the kitchen area. He had it patched and worked on to no avail
    and finally he had the skylight covered. It not only didn't fix the problem but made the kitchen dark as night even in the day time.

    Did you get your skylight back, once they figured out that covering it
    didn't solve the problem....?

    Did Gordon also have winds that peeled up the rubber sheets....?

    Didn't get any high winds, just a near constant rain of nearly three inches.

    That's enough to find all the cracks and leaks in the roof, I guess...
