Not my place, unfortunately, that has to go through their maintenance department. But there's currently 37 outstanding maintenance tasks that I'm aware of, so it might be a while. In the meantime I'll just hope there are no sparks, because just besides the difficulty of controlling a duct fire, the whole house is wood. And I like my house, so I have a personal preference that it doesn't burn down

Urk. Maybe mention it to your co-ordinator - maybe get it escalated a bit in importance. I know that maintenance is low on the budget totem pole, but this situation could be nasty if the house burns down.
