Forward Management Pittsburgh's [False] Final Notice of Bicycle in Hallway Removal

'Received this letter taped to all doors of the apartment building today, from Forward Management Pittsburgh warning residents to remove their bikes from the hallways by May 13. There is a mention of a "final notice", however I don't think we've seen an initial notice, not for over a year. This yields this "final notice" as more of a first notice.

Additionally, the letter makes no acknowledgement of the two bicycles that were stolen from the building's basement (see the post on the theft crimes in Forward Management Properties Pittsburgh, here). Residents should be warned against moving their bikes to the basement where bicycles have been stolen before.


"Dear Residents,

This will be our final notice to all residents at 5835 and 5855 Alderson Street in regards to bicycles being stored in the main hallway areas.

All residents who are still storing personal items and bicycles in the main hallways must remove them immediately.

These items pose tripping hazards in the event of any emergencies within the buildings and cannot be stored there any longer.

If bicycles are not removed by Wednesday, May 13, 2015 at 5pm, we will begin cutting locks/chains and removing the bicycles ourselves.

Should you have any questions, please contact our Management Office.

Thank you for your prompt attention on this matter.

Sincerely, Forward Management"
