Does your lease mention laundry access on the premises? If so, then you might have a cse for withholding some rent.
Good luck. Try not to kill people. Hands! Hands!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I'd suggest writing a letter or email and state that if the facilities are not operative in 24 or 48 hours you'll be sending your laundry out and deducting the expense from the rent. And then do so.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
NYTimes had a piece about Dark Matter that lead me to Wikipedia which lead me to their article on Unsolved Problems in Physics which is interesting.
Here is your unsolved problem in physics of the day:
Entropy (arrow of time)
Why did the universe have such low entropy in the past, resulting in the distinction between past and future and the second law of thermodynamics?
I didn't realize low entropy resulted in the distinction between past and future! I don't even know what that means, really.
Though there does seem to be some implication that we wouldn't have to go to work today if Lee were more entropic yesterday.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
good morning, glories!
Today might be Monday, but the sky is quite a pretty blue. For LA that's a win.

It's greyer than Gandalf's boxer briefs in SF.

tommyrot, I know it's annoying, but I have to disagree with the advice about withholding rent. Generally, to legally repair & withhold the problem has to be much more than annoying, but actually a threat to your health, make the apt unfit for occupation, etc, even if something is covered in the lease.

Well hey, at least it's grey. Grey isn't so bad. Brown is bad.

holy crap, after a relentlessly grey (and rainy) day here yesterday and greyer than grey this morning, I looked up and was blinded by the sun reflecting off the white wall of the building next door. I should take a walk!

“Not dead yet!”
It's blue and sunny and in the high 50s here.

Especially in Gandalf's boxer briefs.
Yeah, grey's okay in small, foggy doses. It's invigorating to get off a stuffy Muni train in my neighborhood and get a face full of fog. It's Emmett's favorite weather - foggy and grey.
