Don't you?
It's so invigorating and exciting, really knows how to throw you out of bed!
Seems like Upper East Side is more concerned with completing the construction of this development than the quality of life of it's residents. Why, we have to ask, does the Body Corporate allow this? Are they powerless to the developers? It clearly states in the Body Corporate Rules that noise and disturbances (though it's a jackhammer, and really I think those terms are understatements) are not permitted beyond business hours. Unless of course they have been given special permission by the Body Corporate, which makes me think that this is the case. I personally think that in order for the Body Corporate to get the bid to manage this building they had to do the whole "wink/nod", and have allowed this sort of stuff to carry since I've moved in.
There hasn't been a weekend I've lived here where the pounding and construction doesn't go far into the evening and on weekends as well. Plus, these units are so poorly insulated that you can hear everything, even the construction workers conversing with each other.
Maybe in the move in Welcome Basket they should have included some industrial strength ear plugs. Oh wait, there was no welcome basket. All UES has given me is a bunch of notices posted to all residents telling us more of their ridiculous rules that only seem to apply to residents and no one else, i.e. developer, construction employees.
A lot needs to change here to make this place bearable. We've been so patient and understanding, but 2 months of still living in a terrible construction site when we were promised a "COMPLETED PHASE" is absurd. More mis-representation, more agent tactics to pad their wallets, more evidence of South Africans being forced to live in an anti-consumer driven economy. Don't we all get sick of having to cater to service providers? Shouldn't they be the one trying to compete for our business? Stand up, South Africa! Don't take this anymore! Forward this blog to people you know, we've gotten a great amount of traffic so far. We are basing this blog on identifying problems at UES but perhaps the need for a broader site for consumer protection is there. Keep sending us your encouragement at our email address UESHelpDesk@gmail.com. More importantly, pass this along, don't let your friends make the same mistake we did, don't ever go near Upper East Side!
So keep pounding away, it was actually an evening I was sick and all I wanted to do was sleep that prompted me to start this blog by the suggestion of my neighbors. Finally, I had had enough of it, clearly Upper East Side does care about it's residents. If they did, they would never have let it get this bad.
