Right...take charge, pour some chemicals down the drain but make sure you
don't tell the maintenance guys who might come along and decide to try to
clear the drain via mechanical means, like a snake. They don't need to know
that there's acid in the drain. They'll figure it out eventually.

Only an issue if they arrive on the same day
(and same hour) as the acid pour.

And is that something you are willing to guarantee won't happen?

Are you also will to guarantee that no workman will be working on any
downstream pipes in that building at the time the tenant pours the
chemicals in?

All in all, it's my humble opinion that a tenant in an office building
shouldn't be pouring chemicals down the floor drain of a bathroom without
informing someone who is responsible for the maintenance of the building.
For all the tenant knows, the maintenance crew may have already put
something in the drain, something that may not play nicely with whatever
the tenant adds to it.

If someone was visiting my house and found a clogged drain, I sure wouldn't
want them "taking charge" and pouring chemicals into the drain without
informing me first.
