Dear Resident(s),
It has been a while since our last communication. We hope you and your families are doing well!
Important Items
Face Coverings: It is very important that when within Gateway elevators and interior common areas that you wear a face covering. This requirement includes the Gateway laundry rooms. All residents, resident employees, and guests all must comply with face covering requirements. Wearing a mask on your chin is not acceptable. It doesn't matter if you have antibodies, or if you don't believe the hype about wearing a mask. When inside of Gateway you must wear a face covering.
Elevator Use: The current maximum capacity on an elevator is four people. When on an elevator everyone must wear a face covering.
Smoking: Smoking anywhere in Gateway's interior or exterior common areas is prohibited. This includes the North Lawn and Roof Terrace. We will be posting additional No Smoking signage in common areas. Security and building staff have been directed to keep a closer eye on the situation.
Dog Etiquette: Reminder: you must curb your dog outside of the Gateway grounds. If your dog has an accident inside of a Gateway building, please let your doorman know so we can get things cleaned up in a timely manner.
Ring Road Parking: People are taking advantage of the 30-minute courtesy parking. We are going to be more aggressive in taking vehicle information and contacting residents that abuse the courtesy parking rules. This will create a delay at the Guard Booth, but it is necessary for us to obtain accurate information about specific vehicles. If we all comply with the rules there will not be any issues. If you have a specific need, please contact us at maintenance@gatewayny.com . Parking anywhere on the Ring Road is at your own risk.
Bicycle Thefts: There has been a rash of bicycles stolen from the exterior areas of Gateway. If you have a bike stored anywhere onsite, we recommend you check that your bike is still secured. It seems the heavy-duty U-bolts are the best locks to have. The stolen bikes all had cable-type locks. We are working with the NYPD to see if we can identify the individual(s) responsible for the stolen bicycles. We are exploring options to create additional indoor, secure bicycle storage.
Signs: We will be updating and refreshing signage throughout Gateway over the next several days. Carpets in elevators and some lobby areas will also be replaced.
The Roof Terrace and North Lawn
The Gateway Roof Terrace and North Lawn outdoor areas are open. A couple of reminders when using these areas:
- Gatherings of more than five people in one group is prohibited. Don’t move tables or chairs to create a group gathering of more than FIVE people. The Gateway community must continue to do its part to allow these openings to be a success. Compliance with CDC, NYC & Gateway regulations are essential. Respect for your neighbors and the use of common sense is equally important.
- These areas are not to be used for personal business, such as Personal Training sessions.
Roof Terrace & North Lawn Updated Operating Hours: Open Monday - Thursday from 9:00am to 8:00pm.
Friday, Weekend, and Holiday Hours for both areas are 10:00am to 9:30pm
Wifi for the North Lawn is gateway400
Wifi for the Roof Terrace is gateway100
Maintenance Items
- Elevator Reservations: If you need an elevator for a special use like moving or receiving new furniture it is very important that you make a reservation. Please make an appointment at least two weeks prior to the date you are requesting. The best way to make an appointment is to email us directly at maintenance@gatewayny.com
Building Operations Update
Gateway building staff continues to hold up well. We greatly appreciate all of the kind words and gestures directed toward the Gateway building staff. 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. We continue to hire outside contractors to perform special cleanings. Last week we had a professional deep cleaning performed on all outside areas using pressure washing equipment, disinfectants, and electro static sprayers.
The Club at Gateway Update
We are currently working on a re-opening plan. Currently, the soft target-date to re-open The Club is October 19th. We will provide an update before the end of September with a firm re-opening date. We are in the process of preparing The Club to meet and exceed all NYC DOH necessary guidelines.
Gateway Pool
The pool will open through September 13th. We are happy to see that many of you are taking advantage of this great amenity, which is definitely a bright spot at Gateway! We are pleased to be able to extend the pool season by a week for our residents!
Regards,
Gateway Residential Management
