No they're not all horrible people except maybe the fella in the apartment below who was playing loud music all afternoon when we were there last weekend.....the Sitio de Forest Hills community are trying to take legal action against the contruction company for leaving the site in such a shoddy state.
We had a set of minutes from the last community meeting pushed under our door and I've translated as best as I could. From what I understand the community is not impressed with the finish of the buildings i.e. cracks in walls, broken floor tiles, something about 'bad operations' and 'bad finish on incabadas' which I couldn't translate very well. Therefore the community plan to name the solicitor they will use to take the developer to court!
There's also something in the minutes naming a member of the community has volunteered to sort the communal parking out as it's a bit of a joke especially in the summer when you have to park halfway down the road as there's no space in the car park (800+ apartments but space for only 30 cars? Eh?)
Another note in the minutes is something about the 'Act of Together Happiness' (it sounds like a Chinese Restaurant!). I'm guessing this has something to do with the set of 'Rules' that were also posted under the door, which basically requests residents to respect their neighbours and behave in a way which doesn't have a negative effect on the 'morale' of the community. So no late night hoovering! Seriously it does say try not to make too much noise when cleaning, don't have the TV/music up too loud, no washing hanging over balconies, no kids playing unsupervised in the communal areas, clean up your dog mess, take your rubbish down to the bins provided and not dump it in the communal areas (obvious to you and me maybe but not to some filthy residents who had been dumping it just outside the main gates).
Finally the last bit of the minutes shows a list of residents who still owe community fees so drop me a line with the number of your apartment if you want to know if you're on there.
I've still got 2 sections of the minutes to translate so I will update if they are of any interest.
