Scaffold drops to inspect our façades in connection with our exterior restoration have begun at Tower These scaffold drops are similar to window washer rigging that is seen on skyscrapers and will proceed from the top of the building to the bottom floors.   All Tower I residents are advised to close and lock their windows for the next two weeks until the Tower I has been thoroughly inspected.  You may hear banging, drilling and other noise, and, if you are home at the time, you will see workers outside your windows on these rigs.   All residents are advised to close your blinds/curtains, as we don't know the exact times that workers will move past your windows.  Work will only take place during the daylight hours.

As we move to Building 5 and Tower II, we will advise you, so that those residents will not be surprised, as the drops begin.  Weather conditions, however, keep us from being more specific about the days and times of these drops.  For example, we were scheduled to start on 2/12, but were unable to commence on 2/12 or 2/13 because of wind conditions.  As you can see, we are already off by 2 (windy) days, and we haven't even started.  Safety is everyone's utmost concern.  We will continue to contact you as the drops proceed.

As you are aware, we are installing a new Key fob system for access from our garage.  Once the new system is fully functional, the old key fobs will no longer allow you access from the garage.  We plan on distributing the new key fobs during the early part of March and we will keep you informed as to the dates.  If you use a key fob and have not already done so, please take the time now to complete the "Questionnaire".  Without the needed information from the 'Questionnaire', we cannot issue new key fobs and they will not be available to you during the initial distribution.  Questionnaires are available in the cubbies.

The movie for February 21, 2003 will be My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

The system has been installed and we are in the testing stages.  Our system will go on-line on MARCH 1st.  An announcement will be made in the next two weeks, with instructions about how to use the system.  In the  meantime, a survey will go out to all residents so that we can procure information and email addresses that will enable you to use the system effectively.
