HI,
Can you tell me if is the responsibility of the property manager to inform the residents of pesticide spraying that will be taking place in their community?
Notices were posted in the hallway the evening of the spaying. There was no set time when the spraying would begin or end, just to keep windows and air conditioners off that day & night.
When the property manager was questioned why we were not informed earlier his response was he was not notified by the city.
A shareholder saw the notice while shopping and brought it to his attention. He immediately made copies for distribution that evening.
When I said that most of the people I spoke to did not see the notice since it was posted around dinner time, he suggested we contact our councilman for an explanation.
We have an onsite property manager to handle these situations and keep the community informed.
We don’t feel it is the responsibility of the members to contact the councilman for an explanation or express our concerns regarding health related issues.

I think the property manager should write your city government to complain about the poor communication from them and I do think that residents should complain, individually, to your councilman.
