Community Safety Concern: Cooking on Balconies and Disposal of Cigarette Butts With the approach of the warmer season and increased use of balconies and terraces, Al Muneera Community Management reminds all residents to be respectful of their neighbors and community. There are many dangers related to cooking on balconies and we wish to emphasize the danger of cigarette stubs, ash, refuse and other items being accidentally dropped, and at times disrespectfully disposed, from the units. Community management in cooperation with security will not hesitate to involve police authorities for residents that disregard these warnings and ignore this very real danger.

Our reception staff will assist with the log in procedure and the utmost privacy will be respected. Such practice only takes a minute and will help our staff to ensure the safety of all our residents.
