The management sent out an e-mail last Saturday regarding a safety issue in the loading dock area but apparently not everyone received it.  I apologize for not posting the information at the time; here it is now.

Last evening a metal cover, over a shaft into the tunnels below the roads and parking lot, located at the base of the rear loading dock stairs was found down in the shaft, leaving the hole open. The cover was retrieved and put back in place and an additional piece of metal placed over it with caution cones. 

Until the structural integrity of the area can be evaluated, no cars or trucks may use this area for any reason. If you are expecting a delivery please use the side door toward the front of the building or the lobby door. Please use only the freight elevator, not the passenger elevator for large items. Walking over the area to get to and from the rear door is not a problem, just exercise caution walking over the plate.

I want to thank those residents that took the time to call me about this dangerous hazard so it could be promptly attended to.
