PETERSBURG, Va. — Residents at an apartment complex in Petersburg will now have to abide by a curfew and other rules.
A letter from the management of the Petersburg East Apartments detailed the new 8 p.m. curfew that is in effect as of Oct. 1. It also states that non-residents will be arrested and removed from the premises after that time.
WTVR “They put it out yesterday,” said resident Michael White. “I know why they put it out … they after the people that don’t live here, and for the kids.”
Management said loiterers in stairwells and outside the front door of the buildings in the complex prompted the new rules.
“They have a lot of people hanging around and stuff, and most of them don’t live here,” White said.
Some residents see the new rules as a good thing for the complex, which has had problems in the past resulting in the police being called.
“You’d be surprised what goes on out here during the night time,” said a resident.
Patrick Morton, who has lived at the complex for seven years, said there have been some rough moments.
