My building's intercom system broke Tuesday or Wednesday. Building management has messed up badly. They put in a new intercom months ago so that when someone rings your apartment they get your phone, you answer, talk and press 99 to let them in. There is no video. The old system rang your apartment and you buzzed them in from the intercom.
Got a memo from the building today that it is a Verizon problem with wire under the sidewalk and will be fixed in 60 days.
Another memo was to tell us no deliveries inside of the building! If we get a delivery, I don't know how we would know they are down there with the intercom broken, but I would have to go dow
n there and accept the delivery outside. This is crazy if I was ordering groceries online. Even ordering take-out online. I'm on the top floor, would have to walk quickly down the 4 flights, go outside and bring my things back up.
Going to look into this tomorrow; maybe call 311 and see if this is allowed. The city (New York City) might be in favor about the delivery rule. Of course we cannot have guests (fine with me), but deliveries can be essential. I've been going to food markets and pharmacy, but I think I've been doing too much of that. It's hard to get a delivery slot now with online orders.
I missed UPS twice today. Amazon had sent things in 4 separate packages. I did receive the US Post Office delivery. They managed to get in, perhaps as a resident was coming or going.
I hope you are all staying well.
