with a former employer we had a suite at the L3 facility on Canal in Chicago. They had this exact issue for the entire time we had the suite. They kept blaming a failing HVAC unit on our floor, but it went on for years no matter who we complained to, or what we said. Good luck.
At $dayjob-1, we had a couple cabinets at that facility, and sometime around 2007, if I recall correctly, they kicked out all of the customers that were server-farms. Only carriers were allowed to stay (with a few exceptions, I'm sure ...) I know because we picked up a few of their customers.
That facility was built out around 2000/2001, and things were a lot different back then (e.g. no one was really using 208/240 yet.) I think they just couldn't keep up when things really took off again post dot-com bust.

I¹m having that experience currently, where ambient temp is in the 80¹s, but they tell me that¹s perfectly fine because vented tiles have been placed in front of all equipment racks. My equipment is alarming for high temps, so obviously not fine. Trying to find my way up to whomever I can complain to that¹s in a position to do something about it but it seems the support staff have been told to brush questions about temp off as much as possible. Was wondering if this is a country-wide thing for them or unique to the data center I have equipment in. I have equipment in several others from different companies and most are probably 15-20 degrees cooler. Thanks, David
