In that case, not only would the correct recipient not know they had a package, but when checking with the shipper would find out it was delivered, and when checking with security, would find out it appeared "they" claimed it! Then what??<BR/><BR/>These issues also existed with the sticky note and the notification sheet. Unless direct proof of identity is demanded when claiming a package, then it is important that the existence of a package for a particular apartment is not known to everybody else.<BR/><BR/>As said, this issue would disappear if the security guards had access to the mailboxes--which they do not.<BR/><BR/>Giving security access to the mailboxes is not likely possible or acceptable.<BR/><BR/>My solution so far is to create slots in the front of the mailboxes so that a chit (UT Poker chip!) or something can be deposited inside the mailbox from the front by security to notify the resident that a package is waiting.<BR/><BR/>This will effectively notify ONLY the resident who has a package waiting.<BR/><BR/>Also, the chit or whatever thing used, can be disposable or simply not costly (like dummy keys) so that losing a few is not an issue.<BR/><BR/>It may take a few days, but I can see using a proper power tool, that the supers can cut the appropriate slots right into the mailboxes.noisionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876285487306836117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3951996422777548228.post-82599754027713534612007-10-11T14:09:00.000-04:002007-10-11T14:09:00.000-04:00Well, I'd say they did better than usual -- and th...Well, I'd say they did better than usual -- and their current "usual" has been a LOT better thant it's been for YEARS -- but, it still leaves a lot to be desired.<BR/><BR/>Remember, my very first posting in this blog was incited by their failure to adequately notify residents in 122 about the tank cleaning.<BR/><BR/>I don't know of any other residents who have had to replace a stove, but I will repost your query on the UT Yahoo group.<BR/><BR/>I understand that UTAC plans to pursue Time Warner Cable for damages and their own expense, but I am skeptical about the degree to which we will be compensated.<BR/><BR/>I have spoken to my attorney, and other advisors regarding this issue, and it may be best for residents to pursue a class action on our own behalf.Tandava (Carol Henning)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11543314009323149954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3951996422777548228.post-1070052703773898312007-10-11T14:01:00.000-04:002007-10-11T14:01:00.000-04:00I was at the meeting, and there really wasn't much...I was at the meeting, and there really wasn't much talk about the gas issue. Other than to say that the staff went above and beyond the call of duty, and they thought that they did a great job of communicating with the residents. I didn't agree with the statement, but saw no point in wasting time at the meeting to argue semantics. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I have been fortunate to not have had a hole punched in my wall, BUT I have been informed that I need to buy a new stove. Not because there's anything wrong with it, just because it has a gas igniter. My question is: has any other resident been told to purchase a new stove?
