I've had similar experiences with them. Really great company. Yvon Chouinard is getting old, so when he retires I hope the next management stays the course.

We are a self-managed building. My responsibility is sprinkler system maintenance and code compliance. By regulation, we have an engineering firm who does actual testing and handles more complicated compliance issues, but I keep track of the day to day, like making sure the pressure tank stays pressurized, both the pressure and gravity tank (the big wooden thing on a lot of NYC buildings) are the right temperature in winter, and visually inspecting all the rooftop systems to make sure they aren't leaking or whatever.
I had study the regulations and take a test to be certified down at the main NYPD building. I was probably the lightest person there by a good 80-100lbs. Now I have a certification i.d. that says explicitly that bearer is NOT a fireman, which I found a bit disappointing.
