Locks have now been installed on the electrical closet doors throughout the community. This should deter against criminal activity and squatting occurring in and around these areas.
I haven’t heard word yet on how to get a hold of the key in case of emergency and there is a need to get to the water main inside the closets.
If anyone else knows, please share.
No more congestion. Go as you will.

“A couple of days ago one of the residents of Building 1 (loft build along Harbor) had the unfortunate experience of having a late night run-in with a homeless person encamp in the electrical closet. The power had gone down in the building and the resident went to open the closets to inspect what was happening. Upon opening one of the closets, they had noticed a person sleeping (whom they initially thought was dead) on the closet floor. The police had been called out to remove the individual.
To compound matters, it turns out that the electrical wires had been ransacked and tampered with, consequently resulting in the power outage.
This presents two compelling reasons to why greater security is required regarding these closets. Currently, the HOA is addressing the issue, but any resolution may be some time away. Until then, please use caution around these closets, particularly at night. Many residents do arrive home in the later hours, so be cautious. If you happen upon any activity around the closets during evening hours, please do not hesitate to call the police.”
Thanks resident. I have also received complaints about an increase in beer bottles, trash, and trespassers on the property. Summer is upon us and you can expect a sharp increase in nuisances. Please don’t hesitate to request patrols, as it is time for the police to begin increasing their visibility in this neighborhood again, and stem the inevitable activity this time of year brings.
It was reported prematurely a few weeks ago that the flocking of stucco was about to begin on the inside building at the construction site.
Today the workers are busy wrapping the tarps around the scaffolding and will be starting the flocking soon. Again, caution to those who park at those parking spots on the inside by that building; your vehicle might get shot by overspray.
A pile of dirty clothes was found outside the electrical closets outside 369 Town Ct. Previously, there have been other trash articles found outside that closet, including empty beer cans, empty fast food containers, and even used feminine products (gross!).
There may possibly be another homeless encampment in those closets as well, though that has not been confirmed. The HOA should be notified and asked to conduct a sweep of all the closets.
Many people walk in that area, especially with their pets. Please use caution, especially at night.
The pedestrian walkways in front of the 111-131 Soco Drive loft building (between building and church) is extremely dark. None of the porch lights or walkway lamps are on.
A group of about 10 gangsters were seen walking in the area. They did not stop and loiter, but they repeatedly we walking around.
There also seemed to be persons sitting at the bridge.
In short, be careful in that area. I’m not sure if the problem has been reported to the HOA, but residents of that building should say something.
Sorry Everyone,
I dropped the ball on this one. I should have put a reminder post last night.
Best Regards,

For those of you who park inside the complex near the Loft construction site, please be aware that the plastering of the exterior is slated to begin. Warning signs are also posted around the site.
If you would like to keep splatter and debris off your car, don’t park in those stalls during this period of construction.

At approximately 10:30 am, two white males were seen walking out of La Jalisco with cans of beer and smokes. Both were walking down the middle of the street, yelling obscenities at each other, even causing cars to swerve around them. They were last seen heading west on Truslow towards Harbor.
Their descriptions:
1) White male, approx. 5′-10″, wearing black tank top and camo shorts and a black hat. Arms tattooed.
2) White male, approx. 5′-7′, wearing navy blue hoody sweatshirt, jeans, and a blue hat.
Both men were scruffy looking and in their late teens or early 20s.”
Thank you resident for the update. You or any of your neighbors should call the police as this is definitely dangerous behavior. Keep your eyes out folks, they may be hanging out in the usual places the drunks hang. Be safe!
