Visitors Parking Lots

UNFORTUNATELY we have NO visitor parking lots within Alpine Eco premises.
Normally builder should provide us approx 10% parking lots so that we can allot them for visitor parking within the apartment premises, but somehow we failed to get them as builder escaped this pretty easily. ( Now don't ask me why we failed to get these parking lots at the time of take-over, its leads into a new mail chain which diverts the present issue here ).

Kindly consider our present limitations and request your visitors / relatives to park their vehicles outside alpine eco. If its any special case with any genuine concern. please get necessary approvals from MC well in advance (in written and stamped) so that security can allot the place opp to temple on a temporary basis for one or two days for specific cases with genuine concerns like medical / emergency etc..

Note

1. Request your visitors NOT to create any nuisance when their vehicles are locked for parking violations. As mentioned at several occasions, the fine would be upwards of 200/- INR. Follow the rules and cooperate with each other.
2. If someone try to break the locks, there would be an additional penalty of 1000/- INR
3. Also please make sure you have your parking lot number written on your parking sticker. Stickers without parking lot number written on it are considered as void.

Arbitration

Note that the MC/GoV does not arbitrate in the case of 2 owners claiming the same parking lot. There are a lot of such cases. Some of the management committee members are also affected. The association does not favor any one individual over another.
However, if a sticker for that lot is already issued to an owner as per our records, we will not issue it for the same parking lot again until the issue is sorted out.

When I returned from office today, I was unable to take my car to my parking slot. So I have complained to security and they have locked some of the unauthorized vehicles. The vehicles don’t even have Alpine parking stickers. I am wondering how security allowed them to enter inside Alpine premises.

Inspite of the car now been locked by the Security it is not helping me at any regards as I am not able to park my car with no space left on sides. Can the respective owner of the said car contact the Security to have the car removed or I may have to take some action to have it removed and move it outside the apartment. Security Team - I am afraid but the inspite of noting down each and every car number, I see this a lapse in security in allowing a car with no parking sticker. Please feel free to contact me for any concerns. Thanks Venkat. UPDATE: Security posted notices of the violation in all lifts and on the car but no response from the car owner

  • When there is a parking violation on campus, and the car does not have a readable sticker, there is no quick way to determine the owner/flat number at alpine eco. Think the security supervisor should be given a tablet with net connectivity t the updated parking database. Any changes to the database can be done by the estate office which should have detailed audit logs that detail who made the change and when the change was made. For cheap tablets with just net connectvity, maybe we can look for thr bsnl tablets with net connectivity
