I am in unit 410 and I also have been attempting to reach Lorreta who does not return calls. I was also locked out. My new keys were mailed out on the 21 0ct 2005 which was three days before they were changed. No notice at all. I also had a problem with my last set of keys. I had heard that the locks were going to be changed and saw lorreta in the building. When I approached her and asked her where my keys where she said that she had given them to my tenants. I DONT HAVE ANY TENANTS. I think it is time for a change and i am not talking about "LOCKS".

If my information is wrong, I'll apologize. If it's correct, then
I demand some answers from Loretta and Michael who--if the following is
correct--still don't get the communication game.
In an earlier post today, Michael indicated the locks were changed twice.
I wasn't sure what this meant, and let it pass.
I was aware that the front/back door locks were changed about 2 weeks
ago. We were notified (on short notice) and given new keys.
We were gone for the last 10 days. On attempting to enter the building
tonight, about 11:30, we could not get in. After about 20 minutes, a
resident came by, let me in, and informed me that the locks were changed
a second time, Monday, October 24, and the keys should be in our mailbox.
1) WE WERE NOT INFORMED, by phone, by email, by letter, by anything else,
of a second change of locks. If this lock was changed monday, October 24,
WHY WERE WE NOT INFORMED?
2) There were no keys or letter in our mailbox.
3) Unlike the previous change, there were no keys under the door.
If the locks were changed a second time, WHY WEREN'T WE INFORMED?
We have no key to the front door.
Michael has argued that the discussion group is not an appropiate place
to raise issues.
This is nonsense. It should, perhaps, like Michael is dodging
accountability.
I won't debate at this point whether it's irresponsible for people
committed to communication to attempt to avoid it publicly.
But, I will say: If the locks were changed a second time, and
communicating this to residents failed, it's time there were some changes
at 1P.
