As most of you know my Wifey helps out Miss Julia, who is
100 and ½ years old. To me she is
trapped in her own home and to make it worse the HOA is not will to make any
exceptions for her. To me there are a
few issues.
The biggest problem is that drive my Wifey crazy is that
they want a 100 year old to parking in the visitor parking and walk 10 minutes
to what they call an “accessible” entrance. The HOA does not want any care
providers to park in the residence parking, but there is a whole section of
parking for trade person and it is never full.
If Wifey does not want to walk all that way with Missy J.
the HOA said drop her off at the door then go park in the visitor section, in
the front of the building, while Missy J. sits around back unattended waiting
for Wifey. In addition they would always
have to be home by 7, since the lot is locked at night. When they do come home late the doorman and
front desk has to open the gate and door to Mrs. Julia’s own building.
The HOA will not give Missy J. a key, remote, or parking
space because she has no ID. Come on knuckleheads,
she is 100 and that should be a given.
If she is paying her bills and fees, she has the same rights as everyone
else in the building.
In my own observation, none of the three building’s
entrances are accessible. If you go in
the front door the lobby is sunken. Yes they do have a ramp outside down to the
lobby, but there are about four steps up to the elevators. Once you get over the parking issues, there
are two doors in the back of the building with ramps. No way they are up to
code and most of the residents are elderly.
7 Slade was built in 1971, and it’s posted as private
property. Another thing neither of the
parking sections have any gimp spaces; I do not know what rights of Miss Julia’s
are being broken. Once again its
frustrating that people choice guidelines over being human.
Maybe we could start a partition to get a gate clicker and a
parking space, which would be a start!
