Locking the door to the Condo Roof?
“Neighbors (some teenage kids) in the building next to ours (a mid-rise condo building) recently discovered that they could hop easily from the roof of their building to our roof, and then discovered that our door to the roof was not locked from the outside, only from the inside and came in to have a look around. Property manager claims that it is illegal for the roof door to lock from the outside (to prevent someone from getting stuck on the roof). This seems absolutely absurd if it is the case. We have asked for some documentation from the property manager for this assertion, questioned whether it can be a keyed lock that all residents have the key for, or anything else. The idea of having a wide open door for anyone who can access the roof to then access the whole condo building is ridiculous.
Also, we don’t have a roof deck so no one should be accessing the roof except to service AC units or the roof, and they would have a key if we went that route. Anyone have any experience with this? How did you/your building handle it? I acknowledge that one idea is to contact management of the neighboring building to ask that they lock access to their roof, but that doesn’t solve the ongoing concern of a wide open door into our building.”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
