The Front Door
























The front door key coding system broke earlier this week. Pinanski Electric was here on Wednesday to check it out and discovered that the electronics are completely fried and the entire system is broken beyond repair. Markwwood management will be replacing the entire system with a new one, but this may take several weeks to implement.
This means that you will not be able to get into the building unless you have a key.
This also means that you will not be able to buzz people in, and will have to let them in by going down and opening the front door for them in person. If you do not have a key, contact your landlord, or if you are an owner, Carol at Markwood Management. Also, frantically punching the entry code over and over again will not have any effect. Do not prop either the front or the back door open. This is very much frowned upon by the building management and will only cause more problems. thank you for your patience while we get this fixed.

  1. Although I received a key from Carol, I haven't had to use it because the front door seems to be unlocked. Even when you close it tight, it still seems to open effortlessly. Should this not be happening?

  2. After speaking to a few residents, it is clear that people are still not aware of the problem. Although this blog is a great outlet to inform residents about what is going on in the building, maybe there should be another way to let residents know, such as a sign on the bulletin board or a notice in their mailbox? I think this is why people are propping the door open, because they don't know the keypad is broken. Thoughts?
