JULY 30, 2008 ELEVATOR WORKS BUT…

I walk into the chandler entrance today at roughly 1730 (5:30 PM). The gentleman repairing the elevator and I start a conversation. I ask him when he was called to come repair the elevator, because of some security issues we have been having, as well as it being down for several weeks. He proceeds to tell me what happened just a little earlier this afternoon right outside the entrance. Two uniformed policemen were chasing a man. He picks up the officers and begins pursuit. Two security officers on bicycles go a different way to cut him off. They catch him blocks away and a fistfight ensues…

Now back to the elevator. He told me that he’s suggesting to management replacing the elevator. The one’s we have are Japanese made and have overly complex moving parts. They will be problematic because of that. New elevators range from $10,000 to $12,000. He didn’t mention when the call came in, but did mention it not making sense paying him several hundred dollars and hour for several hours to replace a part that takes five minutes to swap out.

With that said, I would like to know why the elevator on the left bank on the Chandler Boulevard side was out for several weeks. Shame on you once again, Lofts at Noho Commons. See photos below.

I have some more photos of propped doors open, trash (both of which was phoned into the office hours earlier and have not yet been addressed at time of this posting), dog feces by the pool, just outside of the gym, and of course two more shopping carts.

In all fairness, I do commend everyone on making an additional effort on cleanliness for the complex. Thank you. Although there is a long plastic piece of furniture sticking out of the trash shoot on the fourth floor on its second day now… The effort is being noticed. I in no way wish to become a hall monitor. But from me walking to my car, and back, as well as stepping out to get something to eat down the block I see all of these things. The security issue still needs to be addressed. What’s going on? We as a community need to know exactly what is being proposed, and in writing. Since security is our number one concern, although welcome, the cleaning should remain at this pace, and should have always been at this pace. This is by far secondary, and to me looks like another distraction to a simple solution yet again not addressed. Again thank you, but there was a letter promised yesterday or today for the residents to review which at now 1830 (6:30 PM) has yet to have arrived.
