WE NEED TO WORK TOGETHER

I’m speaking to one of our neighbors on the third floor yesterday, and a couple in there twenties arrives home. The woman goes inside, while the man finishes his cigarette. He puts it out on the wall just around the corner from his front door. I ask him, “Why did you do that?” He tells us he’s going to throw it away inside. He assures us he won’t do that anymore. My friend and I throw out her trash, and the trash room on the same floor is packed with empty boxes. Later, I arrive home and see the trash room door on the 4th floor on the Weddington Street side so full, the door doesn’t close. (I run into another resident, and he showed me photos of the same trash room he took with his cell phone minutes before). Then I walk around to the one on the Chandler Boulevard side, and it has one bag that could have been discarded down the trash shoot. This afternoon, there was a small cabinet left under one of the “guest parking” signs near the Chandler Boulevard elevators in the parking structure.

I ask the residents to please discard your trash appropriately. I was told by two residents last night they have seen rats. The management is making an effort, and so must we. I’ve seen some of the signs with the pressure cleaning schedules ripped apart in the elevators. I don’t understand disruptive behavior in one’s home. WE NEED TO WORK TOGETHER. Let’s all work with one another to ensure our home stays safe and clean.

Speaking of which, I told tonight’s Courtesy Patrol Officer of a man sleeping not even twenty yards from the Chandler Boulevard entrance this afternoon. My fob didn’t work yesterday or today at that same entrance. This can be a potential opportunity for someone to take advantage of the situation. I mention this, only to ask everyone to remain vigilant of one’s surroundings.
