Please be mindful of your neighbours when closing your suite door. We have
received an increase of complaints about suite doors slamming shut at all hours of
the day and night, causing a disturbance.
When closing your suite door, please be sure not to let it swing shut on its own.
Residents can prevent excessive noise generated by the doors by catching them
before they slam and slowly bringing them to a close.
Please also be sure to keep voice levels to a minimum if conversation must occur
in the Common Area hallway.
Thank you for your attention and consideration of others.
