"...With reference to the article clipping sent to us, published in "Głos Bolesławca," the Management Board of the "Bolesławianka" Housing Cooperative in Bolesławiec informs you that it cannot respond to the allegations because the tenant's address was not provided in the article. We ask the tenant to contact the estate administration in order to clarify the matter. In our opinion, this is a simpler and probably more effective way of resolving the problems of cooperative members. As for the fees for posting notices on the noticeboards, they were established by a decision of the Supervisory Board, Resolution No. 3/92 of 27 May 1992, and their purpose was to eliminate unauthorized posting of notices.
The desired effect has been achieved, and currently the entrance doors and entire buildings are not plastered with notices; it is a pity that some people do not notice this. Signed: President of the Management Board, mgr Krzysztof Gallas."
From the editorial office—
Our reader, who has been waiting for a response from the Housing Cooperative and MZGM since October last year, not only made allegations but also proposed certain measures to improve hygiene, waiting in vain, together with us, for those concerned to take a position. We receive many letters and phone calls concerning dirty stairwells, especially those that are very rarely cleaned (including from 1 and 24 Starzyńskiego, 5 Kleeberga, Bielska, Kutuzowa, Rynek, etc.), and we had hoped for assurances from the Housing Cooperative and MZGM that some comprehensive, overall attempt would be made to resolve this problem (perhaps more frequent inspections, perhaps a competition, perhaps actually providing information about who cleans—or does not clean—a stairwell). We fear that the response sent to us by the President (while the MZGM Director has not yet replied) will not satisfy readers, among whom are both Housing Cooperative members and taxpayers. As for "contacting the administration," the situation is as follows: Our reader from Starzyńskiego Street repeatedly intervened with the estate administration on the same street regarding the dirty stairwell. The result was poor, because the stairwell is still cleaned only sporadically; instead, the cleaner once "confronted" the reader—a tenant—and loudly insulted him for having the audacity to complain about her. Apparently, instead of instructing the cleaner to work diligently, the estate administration's management gave her advice along the lines of: "Watch out, little one, because some guy from such-and-such a stairwell is finding fault with the way you clean..." The cleaner berated the tenant and now has peace.
