For Residents who park their cars in 2005 Pleasant Valley’s garage,
I just received notice from our vendor that they will complete their job at a different location on Monday Oct. 16th. Therefore, work will start here on Tuesday Oct. 17th, still 9am-5pm.
Dear Residents who park their cars in the 2005 Pleasant Valley Ave garage,
EBMUD requires apartment buildings to replace their sewer laterals to improve the quality of the water entering the San Francisco Bay. The HOA is having this work done starting Monday October 16th at 9am. The project will take about 1 week, HOPEFULLY being concluded Friday October 20th. Because this work will occupy approximately a 5 foot by 6 foot space in the R2 driveway area 75 feet from the garage gate, it will block the 2nd and 3rd parking inlets from 9:00am – 5:00pm only until the work is completed. No resident needs to move their car to allow this work to be done.
The other 16 hours of the day and all day Saturday & Sunday, the driveway will be open and usable. If you need to drive your car between 9am-5pm Monday-Friday, the car must be out of the garage by 9am (parked on the street). Similarly, you will not be able to re-enter the garage until after 5pm Monday-Friday.
We apologize for any inconvenience, but it is mandated that our sewer laterals be replaced.
If you have any questions, please contact the HOA Office at 510-547-6431.
We are approaching our second “voting deadline” of October 17th and we still do not have enough Ballots to have a valid vote. This is an important vote which will affect all owners financially. If you have questions regarding this vote, please call the HOA Office at 510-547-6431 for more information and/or for a replacement Ballot if you have misplaced your original Ballot.
Also, we received a few Ballots with no name, signature, Unit #, or any identifying writing. If you feel that you may have sent such a Ballot, please call the HOA Office at 510-547-6431 to investigate and rectify this.
If anyone is uncertain how the follow the voting procedure explained by our HOA Attorney, please see the attachment to this email, which is a simple and easy to follow flow chart with only 3 steps.
Last year, Armstrong Roofing installed a new roof on your building. We are very happy to say that during this past winter of very heavy rain, we had zero leaks through the new roof. We did see some areas which need touch up work. Armstrong will perform that touch up work Wednesday October 4. If they are unable to enforce the Parking Permit granted by the City of Oakland, they will perform this work on Thursday, when parking will almost certainly be enforced. Please do not park your cars in the first 5 parking spaces near your building, or where you see signs posted saying that parking is reserved.
Armstrong Roofing will be on our roof Wednesday October 4 to perform “checklist” items only. This will not involve any spraying or application of finish coats, since these were both completed last week. This will be small things such as screens on roof drains and redirecting one roof drain. They expect to use no blower, as in for cleaning. Therefore, we should have little or no debris and a low level of noise.
Working with EBMUD and our Pool Service Company, we have brought the chlorine and pH within specifications, and we believe our plan will keep them so. The Pool and Jacuzzi are both open.
Armstrong Roofing plans to finish the roofing work on 2005 Pleasant Valley on Wednesday, October 4, with no work between now and then.
On Friday afternoon, a young woman (who was seen a few days ago trying to camp on our property) attempted to enter 288 Whitmore on the pretext she was meeting a realtor to be shown an apartment.
The realtor was called, and he stated he did not have an appointment with her and wasn’t in the building.
It is a security violation subject to a $500 fine to allow a person to enter who is not your guest.
To avoid a security violation fine:
1) do NOT confront the intruder
2) call 911 to report the intruder.
3) after calling 911, call the HOA’s office to report the intruder. If it’s after hours, residents should leave a message on the office’s answering machine with the time, date and description of the intruder.
