Street Safety Meeting. A notice from the office

Street Safety Meeting to be held.
On Thursday June 17th, Courtesy Officer Tim is going to be holding a Safety Meeting open to all residents 18 and older. It's street smarts, and what to do in case of an emergency. We anticipate it going about an hour. Depending on turnout, this might become a more regular event.

This isn't a bad idea. Especially if you come from out of town. Don't be lulled into thinking this area is totally safe here. Getting mugged in NOT a right of passage in DC and I don't recommend it.

Death Wish 2010

Ok, things are getting dangerous coming out of the garage.
If you have a car parked in the garage I BET that you have had a close call with an oncoming car at one time or another. If you haven't, you will. It will be just matter of time before there is an accident in front of the building with one car barreling down the street and another coming out of the garage.

I think if the parking spot closet to the garage we made no parking zone it would be a lot safer coming out of the building.

Trash Room Troubles

This was left in the trash room on one of the floors. Someone either not aware of the recycle policy or too lazy to adhere to it, just dumped their recycling inside the door of the trash room causing someone to almost trip over it as they emptied their trash. Plop! Right inside the door.

If this is you, please have some respect for your neighbors. Take your recycling down to the recycle area until management comes to their senses and begins floor by floor pick up of this material. At very least walk into the room and put it out of the walkway.

Management earns a Gold Star!

My hat is off to Melanie Martin in the management office for her recent persistence staying on top of troublesome tenants. This evening tenants received a notice under their doors informing residents that there were incidents in the building the last few evenings and a promise to follow through with eviction proceedings. Bravo! This is a tremendous step in the right direction. Tenants have a right to k now when such things happen and I'm sure we all appreciate receiving these notices. It sure beats learning of such things second hand.

She's also thrown down the gauntlet against the "frat house" behavior that includes people running down the hallways, making loud noise in the hallways, leaving trash in the hallways (do people do that?), and dog owners letting their pets use the hallways as toilets.

This is definitely a step in the right direction. If the responsible tenants in the building know that the management is on their side I'm sure the quality of life in this building will improve for all.
