To Whom It May Concern:
Please allow this letter to communicate comments and suggestions that East Coast residents have regarding the building amenities, the 6th floor lounge, fitness center, and roof deck. Given the mandatory fee associated with these “amenities” a large number of residents have voiced concern regarding the utilization of the space(s), specifically the hours of operation. Based on the numerous comments and suggestions, the resident consensus is that the following would serve as amenable options. We believe that the implementation of these minimal requests would enhance the community atmosphere the building envisioned these amenities would provide.
The following are a few suggestions:
A) Fitness Center – Later Hours (11:45 p.m.)
1. Many residents work long hours and as a result, the limited fitness center hours do not afford many an opportunity to utilize this amenity.
2. Later fitness classes: 8:15p.m. +
3. Closing the locker rooms and pool area at the regular scheduled hours is acceptable as we recognize the need to maintain the facility and ensure security.
B) Lounge/Pool Billiard/Video Game room –
1. Open 24/7 – Security cameras are adequate to ensure safety coupled with the fact that this building is comprised of young professionals we believe there will not be any issues.
C) Movie/Screening Room – longer hours
1. weekdays - till 11:45p.m.
2. weekends - till 2a.m.
As tenants of the East Coast building, we would like to thank you for creating such an amazing lifestyle center for all of us to use. We are asking that you consider compromising on the hours of operation with us, so that we may all be able to enjoy the center to its fullest extent.
I was just reading through all your notes about the gym hours and it really feels like most of us are just trying to get a quick workout in after these insane shifts. It is wild how many of you echoed the exact same frustration about paying for amenities we can barely use because someone decided they needed to be locked up early. I am planning to drop off another copy of these comments at the front desk soon because they clearly need to see that this is not just me being annoyed.

I really did not think this would gain this much steam but here we are and it makes me think maybe they will finally listen to us about those gym hours. My inbox is blowing up with people telling me they work late and it just confirms that we are all feeling the same frustration about paying for amenities we can never actually use.

Ridiculous hours for what we pay in rent. Extend the gym hours at least.
