The new management and the owners, John Simmons and his daughter, Tammy have recently sent out notice that the upstairs residents are not permitted to have on their balconies "barbecues, shoes, bikes, potted plants, decorative items, boxes and tarps". You are not allowed to have any personal items on your balcony but the residents downstairs can close off the fire means of egress with ugly and falling apart bookcases and tarps and other junk. There is no homelike atmosphere, it is rather like a jail and the residents are inmates who pay rent.
