APC has made available a plaque that can be purchased at the office, by any dues-paying Costambar resident or collectively by any apartment/condominium building.
The plaque is entitled "FRIENDS OF COSTAMBAR", has a number on it that identifies the Costambar sector and address where one resides and is designed to be mounted on a window or door, preferably facing the street. When a person or building purchases the plaque, a record will be made of its number, address and location of the buyer, all of which will be turned over to and kept by Security. Therefore, when a person calls Security because of a problem, all that has to be done is tell Security the number on the plaque and they will know precisely where the problem is, rather than have to take the time for explanations and directions as to where the emergency is and how to get there.
Its purposes therefore are to:
1- Shorten the response time of the Security personnel to your home.
2- Avoid the language barriers that may exist between non Spanish-speaking residents and the Security personnel.
3- Make your residence clearly identifiable from the street (reason why the plaque ought to be mounted on a site clearly visible from the street).
The plaques are on sale at the APC office.
Cost of the plaque is minimal: RD$ 200 each. Proceeds from the sale will be devoted solely to improvements for the Security department.
And while you are at it, make a note of and memorize the Security phone number to call in case of need: (809)970-7015
Support your APC and help the efforts to improve our collective safety inside the project.
