Presidents comments.

The complex was fairly quiet over the Christmas period, with minimal problems, just the usual of people on terraces in the early hours.

Sad to inform you, Matilda’s (our cleaner) father died just before Christmas.

Complex news/ issues/updates.

Once again we had prostitutes in apartment B 216, this is the second time this year, we tried everything to get them out, putting pressure on the agent/owner, speaking to the police who were not really interested. This apartment is becoming a problem, the neighbours below are also having to put up with noise and rubbish going over the balcony walls.

We are putting the finishing touches to a letter that will go out to all owners of apartments we identify as being advertised on the web for holiday lets, without a VV licence. They will have a fixed period to respond, after that time we will be contacting the Tourist Board, and the Tax Office to deal with.

Apartments on D block Level 3 have had issues with the complex lights, this was due to some electrical relays failing, all seems to be OK now.

I have had calls on the emergency number, about children running about inside apartments, from neighbours, to me this is not an emergency, its the same with the large construction sites across the road, I cant tell them to stop work.

Again we have had terrible problems with B block lift, it was going up and down on its own, going to the wrong floors, and not opening the doors if it did reach the correct floor, I called OTIS several times a day over a 2 week period, on Christmas night at 12.40am I was speaking to their office in Madrid, trying to get an engineer out to fix it, as its the only way to reach C and D blocks apart from the stairs, it’s a massive problem for anyone with mobility problems, it seems to be working correctly now ( fingers crossed).

You may have noticed we have refreshed the signage on the complex, the old ones have been up for many years and were looking a bit tatty, also signs at the top and bottom of the ramp from garage B to garage A parking, to remind drivers to sound their car horns when going down or up to avoid any collisions.

The Swimming pool.

No issues with the pool, we had 2 umbrellas ruined, due to a high wind and people not putting them down when they leave the pool, I put the sunbeds back into line each Sunday morning .It’s crazy the amount of rubbish people leave by the beds, beer cans, fizzy drink cans, sweets crisps, all sorts of junk, just behind the beds, there are bins provided for unwanted rubbish, morons !!!.

Library open every Wednesday from 10am to 11am, located by the post boxes . Not open on public holidays.

If you need to contact me, please call 683 16 54 16.

Please do not knock at my home address, I always have my phone with me. Thanks.

Emergency night / Disturbance.

Starts 11pm till 7am, you can call them on 671 14 66 16. If you have a problem, please call them.

There has been no major issues just the usual niggles. Juan Louis our security man is retiring after many years working for us, he was due to leave on the 31^st December, but has agreed to work for another month, until we can find another person to take over. If you know of a company that offers a concierge service, please let us know.

What’s happening in and around Los Cristianos.

Nothing to report.

Thank you for taking the time to read this update.

Steve.
