The Fantasy Vision

Does everyone remember this among the wonderful ads and brochures and how about the salespeople and what they told us. I hear such fantasies continue. So after watching and remembering, cry and then laugh at the truth that is being exposed.









And, if the above is not enough and you need elevated blood pressure, here is the project's brochure.

Many posts are still issues and need to be read once again. At this main hub of postings watch for new posts and updates. Please get involved by spreading the word as to the issues here. We must document all that is taking place. Many documents need retrieval and assistance is needed in getting them scanned and posted.

The Agony continues

The Agony continues


Among just some of the agonies Unit Owners and their residents suffer are the elevators.  Recently, we were told of supposed efforts by the Board.  But, this is old news.  It is an old story with no end in sight but more money spent for another study of the problem and no legal actions taken against all those responsible after repeated threats of such action never to emerge.

There are now just three elevators running regularly and the service elevator has not operated for many, many months.  As I have written of many times in the past, without the service elevator wear and tear of the other passenger elevators increase.  So many questions and all we get are secret meetings and surprise decisions.

The wait time for an elevator even when there are not many people seen in the lobby has crossed the line of intolerable.  Are the elevators even safe?  When was the last time anyone saw an inspection notice?  Have they been inspected by the city or some government agency?  What risk is there for passengers?

I have now noted that dogs have priority over people in riding the passenger elevators.  A dog which is not small was allowed with its owners to privately ride.  Did this just start after the attack I was told recently took place?  I will post a separate piece on pets since there is a bit of a story on this topic touched upon in past posts which may also be at skyscrapercity's forum.

I know so many questions and requests for information only met with silence and defiance.  Defiance shoved in the financial faces of all Unit Owners to know what is taking place with their homes and investments.  Defiance placed in our way to discover the whole story without filtering from those with unknown interests.  Defiance against those seeking facts.  Why?

Has anyone questioned the mailbox situation.  Yes, we had questioned this in the past, too.  What has been going on is another secret decision using funds without prior knowledge.  How much to build mailboxes?  Why not buy prefabricated mailboxes?  Was this investigated?  And do I need to tell anyone that we the Unit Owners, I presume, are paying for the mailboxes.  After all, why should the builder/developer have installed them when we spent money for a hyped building?  I know the ads are illusions.

After a Unit Owner had complained many times instructing the staff how to do work unlike the incompetent management, the lobby and outside areas have finally been treated for the mosquito problem we have all experienced.  The situation was worse than being in swamp.  It only took how many years and the constant and now dedicated commitment of a Unit Owner to complain and explain as should have management how to treat the area to stop the sting.  Now, if we could only treat the sting we all feel from the developer controlled building as a whole.

The Big Gun entered the lobby (07/20/13) as I was sitting watching the business of the day.  It attempted to use the elevator until the guard at the elevators saw me watching and then there was a conversation and the Big Gun left the lobby not to return.  At night the Big Gun is normally discouraged to enter as I stand watch still trying to discover the roaming criminals.  As I have written, the Big Gun is meant for us.
