Today, I observed that the lock had been removed from the garbage chute room on my floor. I also noted that the original June 20 notice about it being out of order was still on the door, so I called the representative of the building's management to ask if it was OK to use. He said that on all floors where the lock has been removed, that it is ok to use, however there were a couple floors where it still may not be available due to the need for a few additional repairs.
