Vandalism


It was noticed recently that someone had carved the word "FAG" into the inside of the front door. A recent hand-written note pinned to the bulletin board had "F*ck Y*u" spelled out on it. Both were near new signs from Markwood Management, one the new parking sign, the other, a request to pull the doors shut when entering and leaving the building. Both reasonable and polite requests.
It's not clear weather this is a tenant or just someone visiting inside the building. We're not sure if it's just a random act of vandalism or some kind of passive-aggressive commentary on Markwood Management. We hope its not the latter.

It would be infuriating to think that someone who can't be bothered to participate in the management of the condo or even attend an annual meeting, feels it is somehow OK to anonymously vent their feelings on the property of others.

If you have an issue, address it to the trustees or to Markwood Management. Come to the meetings, comment on the blog, speak up, but don't engage in this kind of cheap, punk behavior. If you don't like the rules, work to change them, or move someplace where this kind of behavior is tolerated. It won't be tolerated here.

Just a reminder, defacement of the building common areas, inside or out, is vandalism and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
