Oldfield Announces New Property Management Company for 2014

The board of directors is excited to announce, after several months of research and interviews, on January 1, 2014, the Oldfield at Grant Park community will be under new management.

We are excited to welcome Team Management LLC as our new property management company.  After meeting with Bill Wetter, CEO and the rest of his team, the board is confident that they will bring the best possible service to Oldfield and its residents.

Please be on the look out for information in the mail that will be coming to you regarding the change over from CMA (Community Management Associates) to Team Management.  This information will include HOA dues payment instructions and coupon books should arrive in early January 2014.

We look forward to our new relationship with Team Management and we are working hard to make sure the transition goes as smoothly and seamlessly as possible.  However, if it should not, please be patient with us as we work to resolve any issues, as this is not a quick or simple process to complete.  We appreciate your cooperation. 

Holiday Gift Baskets from Oldfield at Grant Park

Every year, the board of directors puts together two holiday gift baskets.  One for our local Atlanta firefighters of fire station #10, and the second for our local police department, Zone #6.  We like to personally thank our local police and firefighters for the work they do all year in our neighborhood, and we hope that it serves as a reminder  for them about our small community tucked away here off Boulevard and Confederate Avenues.  If you have any ideas or would like to help out with this year's gift baskets, please contact the board by email at Oldfieldhoa@gmail.com.   Happy Holidays!

Important Crime Alert from the Grant Park Security Patrol

Grant Park - Sunday, December 08, 2013 IMPORTANT CRIME ALERT This morning there was a home invasion burglary in the 500 block of Glenwood Ave. There were 4 people sleeping in the home. At about 6:30 AM the perp pried open the back door, stole a computer, guitars, electronics, set of keys and the owners Dodge Durango. The thief left behind 2 packages of Duraflame kindling! Anyone missing this item from the trunk of a car or back porch? Please look out for a silver Durango, tag number BC23W4. There was a similar burglary yesterday on Woodland Ave in Ormewood Park. At that home the resident was awakened at about 4 AM and scared off the perp. A side window was pried open at that home. Last week a home was burglarized on Home Ave near Confederate at 4AM while the homeowners were gone. The alarm limited the theft to one TV. If you have a home alarm system our patrol officers advise setting it to a STAY function. With most systems this will active the alarm if a door is opened. We'll be reaching out to our patrol officers to see if we can get some early morning coverage for now. LT Iosty typically will patrol one day each week starting at about 6AM. We'll try to add a couple more shifts. Please be alert and always call 911 if something doesn't look right. Take a few minutes to record serial numbers and inventory valuables. Activate a tracker APP for phones and computers.

Grant Park Security Patrol Update - Friday, December 6th

Grant Park - Friday, December 06, 2013 SAFETY UPDATES Continuing burglary problem on the north side. At 1:30 today one of our GPSP officers responded to a burglary attempt at 300 block of Woodward. The officer was concentrating patrols in the area and was just 2 blocks away. The beat officer arrived 5 minutes later. The homeowner was unloading his car from a closed garage and heard banging at his back door. The door had a kick bar so the door would not break open. The homeowner saw the burglar drive away in a black Ford Ranger tag AHR 4358 (stolen on 11-25 from Highland Ave) The suspect is a black male about 40 years old, 5'10" and about 160 lbs. PLEASE CALL 911 FOR ANY UNRECOGNIZED VEHICLES OR PERSONS IN THE ALLEWAYS. At this recent attempt the truck was parked in the alley. MAIL AND PACKAGE THEFT. Our officers advise against leaving outgoing mail clipped to a mailbox. There have been a few reported thefts of outgoing mail. Officers suspect the criminals are looking for holiday cash, checks and gift cards. If possible have packages shipped to a location where there is a person present to sign and accept them. CARJACKING AT LITTLE FIVE POINTS AND SUGGESTIONS FOR SAFETY. A woman returning to her apartment was carjacked when she was bumped from behind by another vehicle. She exited her car to inspect the damage, was thrown to her ground, and her car was stolen. She had phone and I-pad tracking so the car was recovered and one suspect is in custody. Officers advice: call 911 immediately and explain to the dispatcher what has happened. With a minor accident and no injuries it is acceptable to turn on emergency flashers and proceed to a well lighted, secure location. VEHICLE LARCENIES: Recent larcenies around Memorial Drive; patrons to one of the restaurants stopped for dinner after shopping. They returned 90 minutes later and a window was smashed out and all the packages were taken. Please keep cars clean and conceal all packages in the trunk. A GP resident chased a criminal out of his truck on Saturday at 3AM. The description is a young black male about 5"6" tall wearing a puffy down jacket. The incident occurred on Georgia Ave near Grant Street. Officers located a suspect on Bass Street but he got away. GRANT PARK SECURITY PATROL UPDATE: With the support of the community we now have every day of the week covered. If you are not familiar with GPSP please check the web site:grantparksecuritypatrol.org. We now have a recurring credit card feature for members' convenience. During a 2 or 4 hour shift officers patrol the entire neighborhood, respond to 911 calls, check on vacation/out-of-town requests, concentrate extra coverage in locations that have had recent crimes, and assist victims with any concerns. If you are not a member, please consider this important supplement to APD patrols.
