This post was about that run-to-midnight of the alarm. I've made two noise reports to LAPD police dispatch, on this night they called me back at 10:30 to ask me to let them in the gate. I explained that I don't live there, not my building, can't get in. I guess they couldn't find the guard.<br /><br />As for why it went so long, I expect that I was put on auto-ignore by Lucia because the contractor who's installing the sprinklers (and I think is the one that turns off the alarm) was out of town for Thanksgiving, and no one else associated with the building or Fifth Street Funding knows how to do it.<br /><br />In any case, last I heard of the alarm was Nov 25, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.MBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07117435048295574746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569873997733580216.post-5534073207030025482009-12-05T09:26:36.444-08:002009-12-05T09:26:36.444-08:00I'm so glad I found this post!

The security guard on site had NO idea how to turn the alarms off.<br /><br />Last week, the alarm ran from 10 in the morning until after midnight.<br /><br />Anyway, there is a "Managed by" sign on the Spring street side. It's run by Downtown Management (if I recall correctly). Calling them during business hours will connect you with someone -- but all they say is "we'll see if we can get our contractor to shut it off" -- which then doesn't happen. After business hours, their "if this is an emergency" number doesn't work.<br /><br />So, doing some research led me to the City's Alarm Ordinance, which requires that anyone using a fire/burglar alarm have a permit, display contact info of who to call if the alarm is going off on the outside of the building, and it further requires that the alarm automatically shut itself off within half an hour (which this alarm CLEARLY does not do).<br /><br />Basically, before you call the management of the building, call the police (non-emergency) and let them know that there's an alarm going off. THEN call the management. The more people that call the police, the more likely the police are to ticket them for running an alarm without a permit. As for me, I'm sending them a cease-and-desist letter -- would you mind if I attached a copy of your blog post?<br /><br />(I can be emailed at goodrev@gmail.com).<br /><br />Thanks!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
