Dear Resident(s),
We hope that everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day this past weekend!
We truly appreciate everyone's continued cooperation as we all practice Social Distancing. This week we want to remind everyone of two areas where we still need to improve:
- Face coverings, face coverings, face coverings. When you are in a Gateway common area, a face covering is required. This includes indoor and outdoor common areas. Whether you had Corona virus and got better, tested negative, tested positive for antibodies, or think you are immune, you are putting yourself and your neighbors at risk. Please, please do the right thing to protect yourself and your neighbors! The laundry rooms are common areas, which means you must wear a face covering when using the laundry rooms. If you are unable to obtain a mask, the Gateway Tenant Association is generously offering masks to Gateway residents.
- Noise From Apartments. We all need to be cognizant of our neighbors, the majority of whom are home all day in their apartments. Please refrain from activities that create collateral noise in neighboring apartments. As we receive complaints, we will issue a friendly reminder to individuals that may not realize they are creating a disturbance for their neighbors.
Please join us tonight at 7:00pm as we honor our Healthcare, FDNY, NYPD, and all front line professionals. Since tonight is going to be one of the loveliest, sunniest Wednesdays in a while, tonight we will also honor each other, as the Gateway Community has been uniquely kind and thoughtful during this crisis. We know it has not been easy for anyone, and we are grateful for the outpouring of generosity, compassion, and overall sense of community.
Tonight, lets keep the energy going and turn it up a notch again! Our resident trumpet player continues to impress! Great job, and keep the hits coming!
Building Operations Update
Gateway building staff continues to hold up well. Our "Ironmen" are still leading our field operations on a daily basis. We greatly appreciate all of the kind words and gestures directed toward the Gateway building staff. The GoFundMe page created by a resident for the Gateway front line workers has been a huge success. Distributions from the GoFundMe page were issued last week, and all recipients are very thankful for this kind and generous gesture.
The building staff continues to focus on frequent daily cleanings of all high touch areas. We have ample protective equipment for all building staff, and a very good supply of hand sanitizer, medical grade disinfectants and bleach products to help us complete increased cleaning of all high-touch surfaces and common areas. With the increased common area disinfecting procedures, you may experience some collateral scents in your apartment. Such issues should dissipate quickly. We want to make sure we continue to provide a level of cleaning required to keep Gateway properly sanitized. We are also continuing to hire outside contractors to perform special cleanings. These cleanings include disinfectant application processes such as Clorox 360 and Purify treatments in common areas, elevators, laundry rooms, and stairwells.
Gateway Exterior Amenity Areas Update
The Roof Terrace & North Lawn Area will no longer be opening this weekend as previously communicated. During next week's email we will provide an update as to when we anticipate opening both spaces as applicable.
What's Your Favorite Pizza Spot?
We are inviting all residents to share their favorite pizza place in the city with us! We are compiling a Top 10 list to share with residents as businesses around the city reopen. Please send your favorite to us at maintenance@gatewayny.com!
Remember, if someone tells you to put on a mask or face covering, wait for the next elevator, or step aside, it is a request that benefits all of us.
We leave you with a saying from Thich Nhat Hanh:
"If in our daily life we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we, but everyone will profit from it."
Regards,
Gateway Residential Management
