This is what the awning looked like after its renovation, back in July:

| Clean and new. |
This is what it looked like yesterday:
 |
| Grimy — paint peeling off. |
I thought maybe the grime was running down the fire escape ladder, but then I remembered that there's a hole in the top of the awning, to allow the ladder to extend down to the sidewalk, and any drippings would pass through it:

| Fire escape ladder hole. |
Hmmm.
It looks like this curse is worse than I suspected.
At least the curse doesn't extend to their Department of Health Sanitation Inspection grade!

| Grade A. |
