You may have noticed we have a new property manager, I know I know we just got a new one! Let's let the past be the past and embrace our new superstar Darynn! Darynn has stepped up to the plate like no other property manager ever has (yes he is filling our email inbox but that is how we like it!!!). Here are some updates for you...
- Just want to remind everyone, if you are doing renovations in your unit that involve plumbing, electrical or structure you need to submit a request to the board to approve the work BEFORE the work begins. This is to protect the integrity of the building and to protect your unit from unforeseen issues from inadequate work being done in units connected to yours. We appreciate your attention to this if you decide to be handy!
- The radiator pipes in 3rd floor units that we "knocking" should all be taken care of now. If you live on the 3rd floor and are still experiencing issues please contact Connelly so we can fix the problem.
- A recommendation to install plate restraints was included in the last engineering study completed on the post tension cables. It is important to us to ensure safety and compliance are a top priority so the plates will be installed in the next month. These plates act as a barrier if a cable snapped (very unlikely) but it is better to be safe than sorry. This is normal maintenance for post tension cable construction and I can ensure you our cable system is in very good shape and we will continue to be very diligent around ensuring it stays that way.
- Darynn is making the final arrangements to have a complete security review of our building done. We just want to make sure we are doing our due diligence to ensue the building is as safe and secure as it can be. I will post an update once the review is complete so you are in the loop on the outcome.
- We are looking into the carpet cleaning in the building. The board feels it has been less than adequate lately and the carpets aren't as clean as they could be. If we need to look at hiring a new carpet cleaning company we will. Hopefully you will just be able to see the difference once we get this sorted. Of course the hallways get a bit dirtier in the winter since Calgary is warm-cold-warm-cold but we just wanted to let you know we are on it (we like clean hallways too)
- The underground parking garage door can be temperamental in the winter time. If you haven't noticed the door doesn't always close properly, it comes down half way and then goes back up. It may have something to do with the metal tracks expanding and contracting with the warm and cold air. We are still on this and hope to have a resolution. We understand this is a common problem for buildings in the winter but we would like to get this figured out.
- We looked into having a keyfob system installed for the parking garage door but it was very expensive and you would still have to stop to swipe the key fob so it doesn't solve the issue of having to stop to insert the key and then not be able to get your car up the ramp. With this said we are not going to a key fob system but will try to stay on top of the ramp clearing as best as we can so people can access the garage properly.
- Just want to remind everyone lock boxes on the railing at the front door are only permitted from the Calgary Real-estate board, approved contractors and the fire department.
- Our past Fire Inspection report showed we have a few repairs to do around the building to make sure we are up to code and safe. We will be installing a back flow preventor, adding a sprinkler etc. If you want more details please contact Connelly.
- Just a reminder if you get a furry pet for xmas you need board approval for it to live in the building. Please contact Connelly if you want the board to review the potential of having a pet in your unit.
- The financials are in very good shape so no worries about money. All the repairs and upgrades being done in the building are covered.
