Manager Sherri Giles’ reported on the details and status of topics including: annual garage inspections, tree pest treatments, building maintenance updates, broken washing machines, the Sycamore Ave. Regeneration Project, and more.
Shot Hole Borer Treatment
Trunk injections, soil treatments, and spray applications for the property’s vulnerable trees took place the third week of October.
Electrical Project Update
The latest from LADWP is a demand that the VG agree in writing to fund the work of bringing 34.5 kilovolt power to the property before allowing us to conduct a pilot study. Management will consult a law firm who specializes in such disputes, while reps from both of our electrical contractors are seeking to reduce the cost of the 34.5kv power upgrade.
Restoration, Painting, and Insulation Updates
All work on buildings 90, 3, and 15 has been completed. Building 33 repairs, insulation and painting should be completed by November 1, when work on building 34 will commence. Garage restoration in Courts 6, 8, and 14 is nearly finished.
Broken Washing Machines
Management has asked WASH to perform maintenance on eleven poorly functioning machines on the property. WASH is assessing our request and will report back in November.
Garage Inspections
Inspections have been completed property-wide except for Court 14, which will occur the third week of November.
Sycamore Ave. Regeneration Project
Fence extensions and wind screens will be completed in early November. The property’s horticulturist is working with Green Crew to select, source and plant species which will rejuvenate the area and deter interlopers.
