A final followup to my August complaint about the new “Latch” system they installed on the apartment doors. Summary - you now need an app on your phone, or to enter a 7 digit code, which you cannot set yourself, on a very small keypad, to get into your apartment.
I moved out about a week ago, but have the apartment another few weeks. I went back this weekend to pick up the few things I left behind and check the mail. I found they had also installed the “Latch” system on the building entry doors (which they had told us would be happening at some point). So you now need your phone or a 7 digit code to get into the building. However, when they installed it it somehow got tied into the old intercom system - where a visitor would press your apartment number, then you could press a button to unlock the door to let them in. When you did that, a loud buzzer sounded at the door for 15 seconds so the visitor knew they could open the door.
But now, any time a resident opens the front door the buzzer sounds. For 15 seconds. It was loud enough to be clearly audible in my 2nd floor apartment, I’m assuming the poor first floor residents next to the door are ready to take it apart with a crowbar.
