The Hoarding Issue: a guide for Woodsworth

THE PROBLEM

Hoarding generates health and fire hazards and poses a problem for everyone. The challenge is finding means of dealing with it within the framework of cooperative principles.

Penthouse Party Room Window Signage Restriction

PARTY ROOM USERS – New Restriction on Window Signage / Decor

Please note that we have recently installed heat controlling / UV blocking window film on the Party Room windows and sliding doors in order to cut air conditioning costs, prevent fading and reduce glare on the television. Please do not decorate or post signage on these surfaces — the film will tear when the adhesive (i.e. stickers, decals, suction cups, glue, putty, scotch, masking, painter’s and removable double stick tape.) is pulled off.

NB: Damage incurred will impact room deposits and or future room use privileges where applicable.

The sidelight beside the main party room door has a white board where you are encouraged to post your room booking when in use. There is no film on this glass – because it is not exposed to the sun. Decor & signage can be applied there as long as it does not obstruct the view for On-Call safety purposes.

Your cooperation is appreciated.
