I'm not so sure that this is an owner vs. a non owner issue no matter what
way you slice it. We never did change the locks since REZMAR had access.
Think about how many keys might be floating around town. I was the 7th unit
to close, and even way back then things were being stolen. For those of you
who were here with me in late June, remember the stories about the
refrigerators and the ovens that just vanished from the hallways?
Now I'm not one to accuse anyone for anything without proof. I'm just
saying that there are several steps that we can take before going
completely over the top with precautions. Maybe changing the locks for the
main entrance is a good first step.

Jim / All Board Members -
Maybe instead of taking such drastic measures that will (1) raise our
monthly assessments and (2) limit our freedom as owners to rent our
properties, we should probably concentrate on fixing the most obvious /
less
expensive solution. The back double doors on the first floor have been
broken for an entire month or more. I know that I have personally made two
phone calls to First Properties to get this fixed, and I have also brought
this issue up on this discussion list last week.
I saw Ali in the building on Thursday, and he said that it was getting
fixed, however it is now Saturday and I was, again, able to enter our
building today without having to use my key. The door is closing better
than it used to be, so it is fairly evident that someone "tried" to fix it,
but it is obviously still a problem, hence a security issue.
So, board members, how do we fix this problem? What are we supposed to do
when First Properties are not handling our maintence requests very well?

p.s. The generalization of owner vs. non-owner is incorrect. The only
people that I have seen be disrespectful or inconsiderate are owners.
