A guard who was watching the City Maintenance Yard on Thatcher made the statement that the yard would be left unguarded soon because “it was not safe” for sanitation or street service personnel to guard the place. One guard explained that they tell trespassers not to enter the yard, that they will call the police.
A guard has been on duty from 3 pm to 7 am on Thatcher side. When the service is scheduled to cease is not known.
Since the homeless could not get in yard, they were going thru the unlocked fire gates on Thatcher at Mirabella. At Jefferson Marina apartments, one tenant said he had a homeless man sleeping in front of his door one morning.
These fire gates are all suppose to be alarmed and ON. Without that, they are open doors. Mirabella has four; Jefferson Marina has one. One would think that management would comply with the conditions at least for the safety of their tenants. It would appear that if there were a problem, it would be tantamount to a law suit.
