WHAT EMERGENCY NUMBER?
On October 9, 2008, the Maintenance Emergency Number a member of The Lofts at Noho Commons Residents’ Committee was told to call on October 3, 2008 by the Building Manager, Octavio Sanchez of Legacy Partners Residential, Inc. was still not functioning.
"The number you have dialed is temporarily not in service."
Mr. Sanchez was asked days ago if this was the same "Emergency Number" that was given upon the day of move-in one year ago. The same number, which didn't work at that time. His response was that it is a different number.
When our friend and neighbor was incapacitated last week and not able to move, and demanded assistance, what would have been the response time? When a full elevator was stuck months ago with several residents, and their pets, and the call button was pressed, only to be told, "They were in Orange County, and may take an hour to get there," whom can they call, and how long would it have taken? In this instance, LAFD was called afterwards and were rescued 15 minutes later.
What is the proper contact information in the event of an emergency? Who is being called with the Emergency Number? What is the expected response time? What is the proper protocol that is expected from the residents?

VANSIHING KEYS
A resident was working out in the gym tonight, when the resident’s keys disappeared. There were a total of six other individuals that were in the gym at one point or another while the resident was working out, two of which the resident never saw before.
We are hoping that the keys were picked up accidentally.
Los Angeles Police Department, North Hollywood Division and Group Investigative Services, (Courtesy Patrol) were informed of the situation.
The Emergency Number for The Lofts at Noho Commons was dialed tonight several times, as per instructions given to a representative of The Lofts at Noho Commons Residents’ Committee by the Building Manager, Octavio Sanchez of Legacy Partners Residential, Inc. on October 3, 2008. That number is 818-415-2062. When that number was dialed several times tonight, the number had a recording stating, “the number you have dialed was temporarily not in service.”
Members of The Lofts at Noho Commons Residents’ Committee and the resident knocked on the Building Manager’s apartment door. The obvious concerns were for the resident and the resident’s family’s safety. The Building Manager was able to have a staff member replace the lock to the domicile by 11:30 (23:30 hours) tonight.
The resident and I spoke to the four other residents at the gym. One of the four residents has had house keys stolen at the pool at an earlier date.
A police report will be filed, and videotape will be reviewed.

GRAFFITI
A resident left a message on my voicemail at 8:16PM (20:16 hours) tonight regarding graffiti in the parking structure near the Chandler Boulevard elevators. Her concern was that it may be of a gang marking it's territory. - Cell Phone Photo -October 5, 2008

SAFETY AND MANNERS
SAFETY AND MANNERS
This morning I walked around the common areas starting at about 12:45AM. I started on the fourth floor and was able to record using the camera on my iPhone, light fixtures with lamps not functioning, areas not well lit, two locks in a stairwell, which felt flimsy, bags of trash near the elevators on Chandler Boulevard which could have been discarded yards away in the trash room, bags of trash outside multiple residents’ apartment doors, (one of which I know has been there for at least three days), several residents’ allowing their pets to “go” in the grass areas, (two of which had bags with them to clean up after their pets, and did walk them outside after my approaching them), and a resident on the third floor smoking a cigarette near the Chandler Boulevard elevators, discarding it by throwing it down to the second floor.
Management is making an effort to keep our home safe and clean, but it takes a little effort from all of us as well. There is dog urine and feces throughout the common areas, which if all of the pet owners were mindful and cared enough about where they lived, would pick up after their pets. Of the few that I have witnessed and approached personally, most seemed surprised and dismissed the significance of their actions, or lack there of. There are cigarette butts throughout the common areas as well. I understand not smoking in his or her own apartments, but the rest of the property is everyone’s home as well. Please be mindful of our home. This is a beautiful property, and it is all of our responsibility to do our part.
I would also like to remind everyone to remain vigilant of his or her surroundings. This afternoon I scared two young teenagers running down the ramp. Moments later I saw the same two with another young boy running towards the Metro parking lot. Regardless of their intentions, it was clear they do not live here. It is no different than seeing a car drive down, circle the parking lot slowly once, and then leave. Obviously, the occupants of the vehicle are not residents, and the individuals may have unclear motives to anyone within their line of sight. This is something I have seen more than a dozen times since I have lived here, and every time has left me feeling uneasy. Please be aware of your surroundings.
Thank you.
