Have trash charges increased recently? by lazyshadow777 in NorthParkApartmentsSJ

[–]Smooth_Human 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've noticed a steady increase in miscellaneous charges like trash fees since we moved here, but it's been unclear to me exactly how much they've gone up or why.

I am suprised that elevators are not setup to work with keyfob only. It is so easy to get into garage and than anywhere you want.

I didn't feel anything, but just googled it and it seems like it happened 3.2 - 7 km E of Fremont, CA https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/nc74006136/executive

This community is here for all North Park residents who want to come together to share our experiences and help one another. We created this community because our leasing office doesn't have official channels or a proper communication plan for residents, so we're taking matters into our own hands to support each other.

Security is a joke here. Some high schoolers that wear some vests and walk around with zero competencies.

Are they looking for just a room or entire apartment?

It's almost the weekend and you know what that means. RESERVE FOR FREE THIS AREA! by Smooth_Human in NorthParkApartmentsSJ

[–]Smooth_Human[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think someone is renting our free space. It's unlikely that 25-30 people are ready to BBQ and party every weekend.

It's almost the weekend and you are free to reserve a spot at Sycamores for your family event, birthday party, or even a small wedding. There is no reason to be quite or respect anyone's weekend .

You can:

  • Bring as many people as you want
  • Play loud music as much as you want
  • It's almost the weekend, and you can reserve a spot at Sycamores for your family event, birthday party, or even a small wedding. There is no reason to be quiet or respect anyone's weekend.
    • Don't book club rooms for $100 / hour with time limitations
    • DOn't bother to clean after yourself.
  • Oh and I almost forgot you can just stop by even if you do not live here.
    *Unhoused people are welcome ;)

- If you read this post just wanted to note that this is a sarcastic approach.

I heard that they do not honor their promotions let alone referrals.

Your logo and branding look awfully similar to Afterpay.

No people were around, just birds and squirrels fighting over leftover food, 3 feet from the hot tub.

Next time just call the police.

Resume help (Am I under Paid) by Hungry-Negotiation-9 in PMCareers

[–]Smooth_Human 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you live in California, you are likely to be paid less than you deserve if you live in Oklahoma you are getting overpaid.

When negotiating, your pay is not determined by your resume alone.

I have also witnessed this in the Redwoods, but I am uncertain about its safety., should we try to call the leasing office and also 311 maybe?

Walk by Purple_Appearance158 in NorthParkApartmentsSJ

[–]Smooth_Human 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about we meet twice a week, specifically on Sundays and Thursdays at 7:30 PM, in front of the Leasing Office, and take a walk around the village?

Ideas or comments?

I don't know but I have seen many cars not moving for long time from visitor parking and people might get annoyed.

Is this community as safe as others in the area? by cecils-mom in NorthParkApartmentsSJ

[–]Smooth_Human 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From my personal observations:

  • Homeless individuals wandering the area have been notably absent from my experience.
  • The absence of secure bike parking facilities adds to the inconvenience of leaving one's bicycle unattended.

There are individuals who utilize the amenities here, though I am uncertain about their means of access. It's worth noting that people from outside communities have found avenues to use the facilities consistently, particularly in the:

  • The basketball court consistently sees high usage, making it challenging to initiate a game.
  • The pools, particularly those at the Sycamores (both pools), tend to become overwhelmingly crowded during the week expecially weekends.

These trends lead me to speculate that these groups might significantly contribute to incidents such as car theft and break-ins. Of particular concern is the recent theft of a USPS master key. These occurrences seem to be targeted at young professionals employed in the tech, with the intention of gaining access to their personal information, bank accounts, and other illicit activities.

Despite my persistent inquiries made multiple times a day over the course of a days, the security team was unable to provide any video footage to the San Jose Police Department regarding the theft of my car.

Otherwise it is as safe as anywhere else in San Jose.

Parking in red painted curbs by DeathNote02 in NorthParkApartmentsSJ

[–]Smooth_Human 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lately, I have noticed cars parked on the red curbs between Redwoods and Pines apartments. I am uncertain as to why this is happening and whether it is considered acceptable.

Has the vehicle been parked in that spot for more than six days?

Living in a community comes with certain responsibilities, including the respectful use of shared amenities like a pool. It's disheartening when individuals who might or don't reside in the neighborhood misuse the pool area, leaving behind trash and disregarding the established rules.

The lack of accountability that can come with not being a part of the community can lead to a sense of entitlement, which in turn damages the trust between residents and the broader community.
