NOTICE TO RESIDENTS
We have recently had several complaints lodged with Building Management from both building tenants and neighbourhood residents and we ask that you please read this notice to ensure that we all comply with building and council rules.
Security Door: All residents have been issued with security cards that allow access through the main doors, which are locked after 9 o’clock every evening. We have been told that the main doors are being kept propped open some nights to allow guests to come and go without a card. This makes the building vulnerable to thieves. We request that, if you have guests, you ask them to contact you upon arrival via the intercom system. If you are unsure of how the system works, please contact building management.

Parking: While each apartment is allocated one parking space in the garage, we understand that some families have two vehicles. We ask that you please do not park in any place other than your designated spot, as all other parking places have been assigned to other residents. Should any habitual problems be reported, any illegally parked cars will be removed at the owners’ expense. We have also noticed an increase in bicycle use amongst the residents.
This is a trend that we would like to encourage. However, we wish to discourage cyclists from locking their bikes to the building’s gate. We understand that currently there are few suitable places where bikes may be left and so we are in negotiation to appropriate a section of the garage as a bicycle area, complete with bike rack. We ask for your patience in this matter.

Pets: While the building welcomes responsible pet owners, we ask you to be more careful to ensure all paws are cleaned of mud before entering, especially on rainy days. We have had to get the carpet professionally cleaned twice already this year and one section replaced, an expense that is covered by your maintenance fees.
Noise: There have been several complaints made about noise levels in the building, particularly on weekends. We understand the need to unwind after a long week, but we remind all tenants that (by city ordinance) noise levels must be kept low after 10 pm on all days and any loud music is to be turned off by 9 pm. If you have experienced a recurring problem with noise, please let us know.
Thank you
Building Management
