Everyone gets their own security code. It is very easy to tell who leaks their code. It will be in the logs.bsharmastl wrote:Good common sense things. I hope that this is turned into something positive from the viewpoint of people preventing such a thing from happenning again by taking care not to give out passwords, etc.
Scope of secuity changes when you have a collective group of people sharing a common passcode. Hard to police it. One policy may be to change the passcode once a week or month.

Same for the Meridian. Except that they didn't put a swipe card on the stairwell for some strange reason (oversight?). I suspect that will be the first order of business for the HOA, if I have anything to say about it.
The fire code prohibits "locking" the staircases. We had a similar discussion and are trying to find a way to secure them also. One of the proposals is to lock the main floor stairwell only (but the other stairwells would not be locked). Do not know if that is going to get approval.The Central Scrutinizer wrote:STLTapper9 wrote:@ Westgate, you cannot access the elevator or the stairwells w/ out swiping your access card. is this a common feature in lofts downtown? it seems that it would have certainly helped in this unfortunate occurence.

Can anyone who lives in the Annex Lofts (or know someone who does) offer any feelings about the building?
It looks like the prices on units in this building have fallen.

$176K from $212K for 1200 sq ft with 2 bedrooms
It also looks like there's a few foreclosures.

I seem to remember 2bd/1ba units listing around $220K to $250K when the building first opened.

That second unit looks like it has a drop ceiling in the bathroom - weird.

I'm not doubting you, because my memory sucks. However I seem to remember those less expensive units being on the first and second floors Anything 2 bedroom on the third floor and up seemed to be starting over $200K.
I wish I would have kept the pricing sheet for later reference.

That may have been later in the marketing of the units. The MLS shows several 2-bed units sold originally in the $175 - $195K range on the 4th, 5th and 6th floors.
