Will the concierge staff remove people who do not have permission to be in the blocks?
No. Our staff will tell the person to leave, and if they refuse, we will call the police.
What should I do if I lose my access fob (key)?
Report it to our staff. They will give you a new fob and remove the old one from the system to prevent anyone else from using it. There will be a charge for the replacement fob.
I have visitors staying with me. Will the concierge staff stop them from coming into the block when I’m not in?
No. Tell the staff how long your visitors are staying and we will give them a temporary fob (key).
I’m not sure how to use the burglar alarm. Can the concierge staff help me?
Yes. Ask us and we will arrange to visit you to show you how the alarm works.
