About three weeks ago, the door to the exercise room of the 880 building was broken in the hinge area on the door spine. Due to the composition of the door, the door cannot be repaired but had to be taken down. As the door is not of standard size, a new door would have to be ordered. It would take about another four weeks (mid-September 2009) for the new door to arrive and be installed. The cost is about $1,200 including taxes.
After lengthy discussions and careful considerations, the Board of Directors of the 880 Grandview Way building has made the following decisions.
- The exercise room will still remain open while waiting for the new door so that residents can still enjoy using the exercise room. Please be reminded that, as it has always been an ongoing rule for using the exercise room, children under the age of 16 are not allowed in the exercise room. Notices have been posted in the exercise room.
- Security camera has been installed in the exercise room to monitor the area as of writing. The cost is about $1,500 including taxes, with a 5-year warranty, supplied by AFY Electronics Ltd.
In the past, there had been some incidents in the exercise room (such as some dumb-bells were “lost”). With the new camera installed, the general security and safety of the exercise room should improve.
The exercise room is a public area. As for security and safety reasons, security cameras have been already installed elsewhere in the 880 Grandview Way building, e.g., in the hallway on the upper lobby level, and in each of the three elevators, as well as in the swimming pool. Privacy should not be an issue here.
