The lack of control and safety over public spaces
I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding the ongoing disturbances in the sky lounge of our building. As a resident on the 20th floor, I appreciate the amenities provided, including the lounge area where individuals can gather, play pool, and socialize. However, despite being informed that this space closes at 10:00 PM, there have been multiple instances of large gatherings and parties continuing well past this time—often extending from midnight to as late as 4:00 AM.
Despite... repeated attempts to bring this matter to the attention of management, no effective action has been taken to address the issue. In fact, we have been told that there is nothing management can do and that we would need to either contact law enforcement or confront the individuals ourselves. This response is deeply concerning, particularly as I am a 16-year-old living with my single mother. The lack of enforcement has placed us in uncomfortable and unsafe situations on multiple occasions.
Furthermore, it is evident that alcohol is frequently involved, as guests have left behind open containers and other signs of intoxication. The absence of oversight in this shared space has led to an ongoing issue that negatively impacts residents' ability to feel safe and enjoy their homes in peace.
I respectfully urge management to take immediate and effective action to enforce the established rules regarding the lounge’s operating hours and ensure the safety and well-being of all residents. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to a resolution.
