On Thursday, residents came home to a fine white dust
covering the front stoop of the entryway to their building. It covered the
railings on the steps, even the doorknobs and locks on the doors. Footprints
tracked all over the landing carpeting and when I saw this I knew it was from
the concrete stoop and sidewalk. I figured it the management company must be
planning to replace the concrete stoop but there was no flyer on the door to
alert residents of what was happening.
The next day they had installed a ramp across the area where
the concrete had been removed. There was no handrail or anything and the step
up was at least six inches which seemed a bit steep to me.
It was possible to go down the one flight of steps to the
mailbox; however, that was blocked by a large orange cone. Therefore, I doubt
many residents bothered to get their mail. The next day the new concrete had
been poured, but the ramp remained and the two large cones as well.
It is unbelievable to me that the management of this
apartment community authorized this type of work in an area where one resident
walks with a cane, another is recently diagnosed with MS, and yet a third one
is elderly and provide no notice. It remains to be seen if the ramp will be
removed when the new week commences. However, it would behoove this Management
Company to be more proactive should they need to complete this type of project
in the future, and if not, then I hope they have good insurance.
