This is clearly a safety hazard and some residents
have addressed this issue. The Fire Department will
continue to get called if residents continue to get
stuck in the elevator. Thus a charge to the building
will be next.
Dog owners should use the front elevator until The
Board can ensure the safety of the elevator. A
resident should NOT have to bounce on the elevator.
I'm sure we will hear about the rules and get some
quote with the patent signature "Jim/Brd Secty". We
all get it. May be that is why people are selling or
because Jim continues to harass residents for doing
everything wrong. Many residents feel this way and
I'm expressing it. Especially dog owners. Let me
guess the dog broke the elevator.
On behalf of the dogs "Bite Me".
I have asked time and time AGAIN to take me off this
email list. We moved and I can see nothing has
changed except excuses from The Board especially JIM.
