When we first moved in over a year ago I saw some rather odd looking patchwork on the walls. I understand that tenants may attempt to fill holes they've put in the walls before they move out (although more than likely it was the guys who gut out the apartment before a new tenant moves in) and some may actually do a good job.Unfortunately, whoever did the work apparently used what I believe to be toothpaste to fill pin holes. A year ago the "work" looked like melted icing dripping down the wall. Finding this quite disturbing, I wiped at the mush; it smelled rather minty fresh. After cleaning the obvious blemishes, I went on with life.
A year later one can now see several other "fixed" areas where the "patch" has turned yellow on the bright white walls.
That's definitely not wall putty.
Actually it's a kinda common practice. though usually it's painted over and no one is the wiser. but they obviously didn't give concern about that. and that weird thing has some big boobs... and lopsided.
