Just a few points to be aware of:
- The security camera that was put up is too low. Anyone who is tall enough or has a ladder can take it down or break it.. well you get my point. Besides, the camera is only placed on one side of the building in only one direction. God forbid anyone gets mugged on the other side of the building (Broadway or the side parallel to Lawton) Heck I don't know the street name because I'm too afraid to go out.
- My apartment faces the Broadway side of the building. If any of you guys ever notice, there are always kids hanging out right by the bus stop on the B46 line at the corner across from the grocery store (for those who are confused, I mean diagnally across from this building). Those kids are probably the ones who prey on tenants of this building. I'm not sure but I realize that there is usually at least one kid on each corner of Lawton Street. There is one who always walks up and down Broadway and one at the side by the "pizza shop" and a couple at the bus stop. I'm not sure if they are linked but just be aware of this. Sometimes they are on bikes so be careful.
- I also had the opportunity to read John and Jenny's note. I think it is great that people in this building look out for each other.
- I didn't even know we had a temporary security guard. When did this happen? We need 24 hour security guard(s). What's the use of cameras only? If something happens outside the front door and no one is around then what? I would be happy to sign any petition that will be passed around.
- Lastly... party? on the roof? will we be shot?

I guess you didn't meet Paul. He was a neighborhood guy that Pella hired for a couple of days, but without letting us know that someone we had never seen before would be standing against the wall at night with keys to our building. Figure that one out. He had a small baseball bat. Pella's idea of a security guard is a bit strange if you ask me, and Pella's lack of consideration for us is rather obvious. Wouldn't it have been only logical for us to be informed that a stranger would be hanging around with a bat and keys to our building?

Trying to deal with Pella rationally at the party? How do you figure (no offense meant here)? I ask because our landlord is notorious -- by all accounts I have heard -- for either reacting in an outrageously defensive manner or for reacting by simply pretending like he was never told about half of the things that have been going on.
