ELECTRICAL UPGRADE PROJECT
The 2025 work in Building 16 is nearly complete; patching and painting a few holes inside three units and the exterior cable drop remains. We learned a lot in Building 16 and have made adjustments to procedures, scheduling, and personnel that will be applied in the remaining two building types. Residents and owners in buildings #14 and #86 were informed of the revised schedule, including an extra week in each building for the “gnarly” work of pulling the large cables from each unit through the attic to an exterior cable drop.
2025 RESIDENTIAL BUILDING MAINTENANCE
Resolutions to fund carpentry repairs, insulating, and painting Buildings 14, 25, 28, 38, 46, 47, 50, 61, 63, and 91 were passed by the Board. We will be scheduling two Zoom meetings prior to the start of this work. The selected 2025 buildings will include repair of ten Level 4 and four Level 2 balconies. The project is ahead of its goal of eight per year.
SERPENTINE WALLS
Management has been exploring the possibility of engaging a specialized masonry contractor for small-scale serpentine wall repair. The contractor specializes in historic restoration work and met here in March to review a sample repair area. They’ve stated a proposal is forthcoming.
GARAGE RESTORATION
Carpentry repairs and painting Court 2, 9, and 12 garages, trash areas, and drying yards will be scheduled after the garage roofs are repaired or replaced. There is significant, visible water damage to the soffits under the garage overhangs caused by roof leaks, particularly in Court 2 and 12. A proposal for these garage roof repairs will be presented at the June meeting.
ELECTRICAL PANEL SECURITY / GARAGE BREAKER ACCESS CONTROL
Following reports of residents tripping electrical breakers in various garage courts—mostly due to unauthorized vehicle charging or other high-consumption activities—Management became aware that some individuals were habitually accessing and resetting the Association’s breaker panels without authorization. Vehicle charging in garages is prohibited. It can overload circuits and disrupt service to shared spaces.
In response, Maintenance Supervisor Darwin Harry Ruiz has secured all accessible breaker panels in laundry rooms to prevent unauthorized access. Additionally, Treston Security has been instructed and empowered to reset breakers as needed.
ROOF INSPECTIONS AND EVALUATION
Lane Consulting Services was approved by the Board in January to inspect all residential and garage roofs, and to help develop a long-term strategy for roof repairs and replacements. Inspections were completed in April; Lane Consulting is compiling their final report.
OFFICE/CLUBHOUSE ROOF PROJECT: KICKOFF MEETING & UPDATE
In May, Management convened a kick-off meeting to plan for the repair and/or replacement of the Clubhouse roof—a prototype project that will guide future residential and garage roof restorations. The meeting was both productive and highly collaborative, laying important groundwork for the next phases of design and proposal development.
SB326 BALCONY REPAIRS
Please see Board Report (Residential Building Maintenance) for current status. The plan remains to repair eight balconies each year for six years. A new company, JVM Contractors Inc., has been asked for a proposal.
GARAGE COURT LIGHTING UPGRADES
The Driveway Fixtures in Courts 1, 2 and 7 were replaced with adjustable fixtures set to 15W and 3000K, per Board member and Safety Committee request.
