Cleaning the Lobby Sofa
I've been putting my Hoover Steam Vac to good use the last couple of days. The Lobby Sofa needed a thorough, deep cleaning. I started yesterday and it needed an additional day of scrubbing. A good workout and good physical therapy, so I'm not complaining. Check out the before and after photos in the "PHOTOS" section. Finally a soft spot to sit that won't feel like you're in the depths of grunge. OH...and I treated for bedbugs...so we won't get bit by those little buggers that seem to be crawling all over the place!

OFFICIAL - BEDBUG INFESTATION
On Monday, September 9th, all residents received notice that all units were to be inspected by canines for bedbugs.
I was home when the inspection took place, and although I have had not seen any in my unit, nor have had any bites, I was told that there were two that were found in my pull-out bed sofa. The units across the hall and next door to me also inspected positive for bedbugs.
In my lifetime, I have never had to deal with bedbugs. The super told me that an action plan to eradicate them will be taken...when that will happen, I don't know.
In the meantime, I will be taking my own action plan and dust my sofa (where they hide) with diatomaceous earth. And hope for the best.
When I move, I'm guessing I won't be taking my sofa with me.

Haunted?
I heard some stories already that there is some paranormal activity occurring in the building on certain floors. Kind of spooky, especially at night. An apparition of a lady who just stares at you have been reported.
Well, nothing on my floor happening...thankfully. Most of the noise and ruckus comes from the street and MacArthur Park. The ghosts can't see to make noise louder than living beings who walk this earth.

Bedbug Meeting
A bedbug meeting was held at 7:00 p.m. in the lobby area on Thursday August 15th. Pizza and soft drinks were served and FPI Management took names of attendees. I believe about a dozen residents attended and few stragglers later through the meeting.
Mother Earth Dust (diatomaceous earth) was applied in all the hallways (most are carpeted).
In order to eradicate bedbug problem in the building, it will require full cooperation from tenants. Tenants will need to report all incidents of any sightings, infestation, etc. ISOTech Pest Control is contracted to provide treatments.
Pest control for the building is extremely costly, per management, however is determined to initiate a plan that, ultimately, will relieve the building of insect problem, particularly bed bugs.
We were informed that ALL units will be inspected for bedbugs. So plan on getting a notice for day and time.
Residents who do not feel comfortable not being present when ISOTech is inspecting, should plan on staying home that day.
It would have been nice to meet most if not all of the residents under better circumstances.

Staff Changes......Again!
A notice dated July 18th was distributed to the building's residents informing us of some "exciting changes happening in our building". And FPI wanted to reiterate their commitment to providing us residents with a quality and positive housing experience and encourage us to let them know how they can better serve us.
Staff changes occurred and as of today's date we have interim management.
For the record, during my residency here, there have been 4 (four) staff changes (Community Director "CD"). I realize most residents call CDs "manager" or "management", however they are but part of a team. The Asbury Apartments are "professionally managed by FPI Management".
Changes also occurred to the After Hours Maintenance Procedure. There is a new phone number that goes directly to the on-call Maintenance Team. Be sure to save that number on your cell, or keep it handy by your landline phone. Check in the office for the new number if you haven't already.
As a reminder, all life threatening emergencies that require medical, police or fire assistance should be handled by 9-1-1.
A new front door entry system has been installed and it works great! No more hassling to get the key out and trying to manipulate the key, which was always a problem. Stop by the office to receive your card, if you haven't already. There is a $50.00 replacement fee if lost or stolen! You will still need the master key to open common area's doors, such as basement, courtyard, etc.
I do look forward to submitting some of my ideas to management and hopefully they will be seriously considered to make the property an enjoyable place to live.
