PLUMBING REMINDERS:
In condo high-rise buildings, units share plumbing and HVAC lines. It is required that all residents notify Management before scheduling a vendor to perform any work. Our building is unique, and we must coordinate all plumbing/HVAC work with the Building Engineer, as it may affect your neighbors.
QUIET HOURS:
Quiet Hours are between 10 PM and 8 AM. The volume of radios, stereo sets, televisions, and musical instruments shall always be held at a reasonable level so that other residents are not disturbed. After 10:00 pm, the volume must be significantly reduced so as not to disturb other residents. If you are experiencing a noise nuisance during quiet hours, feel free to call security, and they will address it with the resident. In case this does not work, residents are welcome to call LAPD’s non-emergency number to report the noise disturbances.

PARKING REMINDERS:
- For the purpose of loading and unloading only, owners and residents may use the designated ten (10) minute parking spaces when they are available, but only for a maximum time of THIRTY (30) MINUTES. To take advantage of the 30 minute window, the vehicle parked in the space must have the emergency flashers on for the duration of the parking period. Should a vehicle be observed as parked without the emergency flashers on for more than a ten minute time period, the vehicle may be towed without warning. Any attempt to utilize this space as a long-term parking solution is a violation of the Association’s Rules and Regulations and may result in fining and/or towing at the vehicle owner’s expense.
- Reduce the risk of theft or other incidents, especially with the upcoming holiday season, by
- Lock Your Vehicle: Always lock your vehicle doors, and make sure all windows are fully closed.
- Avoid Hiding Spare Keys: Don’t leave spare keys inside your vehicle, as thieves know where to look.
- Keep Valuables Hidden: Keep valuable items and shopping bags out of sight or, ideally, take them with you. Items left in plain view can attract burglars.
- Use Anti-Theft Devices: Consider using steering wheel locks, car alarms, or GPS tracking devices to deter thieves.
SMOKING ETIQUETE:
- Smoking is not allowed in any enclosed Common Area or Association Property.
- Please ensure that cigarette butts are properly extinguished. Do NOT throw cigarette butts on the ground, especially in dry conditions, as they can pose a significant fire risk.
- Remember that cigarette smoke and discarded butts can affect your neighbors. Be considerate and help maintain the cleanliness of our community.
