Issues with Exterior Parking
Problematic outdoor parking: few spaces reserved for visitors - non-compliance with handicap spaces - No space for ambulances or fire trucks.
The Property Manager says that more rigorous monitoring is now in place, several fines have been issued, and will continue to be issued.
Follow-up with tenants to check if the measures are effective or if the same issues persist.
During the discussion with the administration, the CLR argued that the snowplow tractor and equipment occupy two parking spots in front of building B, and visitor parking spots have been assigned to contractors. A few years ago, Rockhill tenants received a 2% rent reduction because the pool was closed. It's not written in the lease, but it's part of the factors considered for value, so having visitor parking is in the same vein. Therefore, there's a risk that tenants might ask for a reduction for these parking spots. The administration could place the equipment on the sidewalk and put the tractor in one of the other parking spots that has more room.
The Regional Director explains that Sylvia Guttman, Assistant Building Manager, is in charge of parking and takes note to find a solution.
The fines seem to have dealt with illegally parked cars along the road, as well as those unauthorized for the limited visitor parking spaces.
However, a large snow blower consistently occupies 2 visitor spaces. Given the challenging situation due to the very limited visitor parking spaces, the Rockhill administration should park this vehicle elsewhere instead of reducing the availability of this service.
