What is being done about the shootings on property? What changes have been done to keep us safe and what is planned for the future to keep us safe?

A woman's door was kicked apart last summer. When can our doors be reinforced or replaced? 
Can we add an emergency call function to Parkchester Police to the video intercoms that could serve as an emergency call location?
When will the emergency call towers be installed outside? At which locations? 
What is being done about package thefts?
What is being done to screen new owners and renters and how can this process be improved?
What is being done about the increasing frequency of hot water outages and cold water outages?
Why aren’t the basketball court field and playground being opened following its schedule?
What is doing to improve the wait time for calls to the service dept? Can the chat function be made available more regularly during the hours they are supposed to operate? Sometimes it is not available. Can hours be expanded for the  chat at some point?
Can we see an increase of PPD patrols? 
When can we get daily containerized collections from DSNY and what’s being done to prepare for this for mandatory composting when it comes into effect? 
What is being done about trespassing?
Last year during this meeting it was discussed that there was a study benign done about options to modernize or replace the heat plant. What updates do you have for us?
Last year at this meeting we were told there was a study being done to add solar panels. What updates do you have for us? 
This question is for Juan Torres : What specific actions by the board have been taken this year to improve transparency? The last few, mailings to unit owners mentioned about efforts to increase transparency. What improvements in transparency can we expect in the next year?
What is the process to give contractors contracts to do work? Are multiple bids from different contractors received before awarding a contract? What oversight is done after work is completed? Facade work has been subpar with little oversight. Some buildings needing to be done before the five year period. Will these contractors be barred from doing work for us again?
Towing signs are not up to code when will they be updated? Many residents are complaining about them not following the law. Can we ensure they follow the law? 
When will camera coverage be increased on E Tremont Ave along the sidewalk?
Mailing sent out in 2023 stating “The Board encourages communication with the Unit Owners and urges you to directly approach the members of the Board”. However, I have submitted several emails to the board and have not received a response. Can you please advise as to what is the purpose then of encouraging residents to communicate with the board if they will not be acknowledged? 
Last year package lockers were mentioned as being discussed by the board. Are there any updates? Perhaps lockers can be installed outside in stages over a number of years. 
When will the board minutes be available online for unit owners? 
When will sidewalk lighting and additional cameras on metropolitan ave between purdy street and Red Oak Drive be added?
Does the sponsor pay maintenance on units they own? Do they pay the same amount as private unit owners?
What efforts are being made to reduce a common charge increase? 
What efforts are being done to catch illegal dumpers? 

North playground sprinkler wastes metered water. I saw it left overnight with the gate locked last season. Can we put the sprinkler on a timer button? Children can press it and it turns on for a set time. They can press it again for more water.
Why is there such a long wait for bulk pickup from apartments? If things are put into halls, stairwells and lobbies it needs to be removed the same day anyway, why can’t we have a better system?

Why isn’t mold from leaks through the bricks repaired right the first time? Wall opened up from inside  back to the brick, waterproofed and put back in the long run it makes more sense and is cheaper.

(Note) having an annual owners meeting is required by law and it’s customary in condos and Coops that only unit owners/ shareholders are allowed to attend.  This is not PWG’s choice. We are here to collect the collective concerns of renters, owners, business owners and other commubiy members and encourage unit owners to bring up these concerns at these meetings.  #parkchester #parkchesterbronx #condoTransparency #condoownersbillofrights
