I checked the gates around 11AM, and both gate doors were open and the
arms were down. The arms lift normally when a card is swiped.
The gate company has been contacted and will be out today. Since this
is an ongoing issue, they have not been charging us for additional
service visits.
Thanks,
Alex

Morning. Iron entrance gate appears to be stuck in open position. Arms are
down.

Alex, although I understand our bylaws may shield the HOA from liability
concerning the gate, isn't there some liability on the part of the vendor
that installed the new circuit board?
I saw the gate close on Angie's parent's car today... I also saw it close
on a large moving truck today and it closed on a UPS truck yesterday.
There's no question that it has been closing much faster than normal since
the repair. I would assume that the vendor would do some sort of testing
to ensure there's enough time for vehicles to make it through before
leaving the work site.
Initially I thought it was a good thing that it was closing faster since it
would prevent tail-gating. But I hadn't considered that it could damage
slower driver's cars or larger, slower vehicles.

Hi everyone,
We received complaints this morning around 10AM that the timing of the
gate was off. It was reported that the gate started closing as soon as
the left arm was raised. I used the gate several times since last week
and did not notice this behavior.
By 11:45AM, the gate company configured the gate to remain open. By
5:20PM, the gate company was on site to fix the operation of the gate.
The arms should now stay up for 7 seconds, and the gate will close 5
seconds after the arms are lowered. This is standard timing. We
requested that the trip charge be waived, since the gate malfunction may
be related to last week's work, and because the right arm was not fixed.
According to the Declaration of Condominium, all unit owners have agreed
that the HOA is not responsible for damage that the gate causes to
property. The HOA is not qualified to comment on what possible remedies
vehicle owners have to address their damage, if any.
Thanks,
Alex
