Manager’s Messages for Residents on 8/9/2025

Dear Residents,

Reminder:  No smoking on HOA property.  A number of residents have been sitting on HOA property NEAR THE SIDEWALK.  We understand your preference to sit.  However, in every such location, smoke finds its way into a garage, stairwell, or the Pool area.  This is a problem for the non-smokers who are in those areas and the City of Oakland recently passed an Ordinance disallowing smoking anywhere on the grounds of a multi-family residence.  To comply with Oakland’s law and with our Rules, smokers must be completely off of our property.

The County of Alameda requires that the blue cover for the Jacuzzi (Spa) MUST BE OFF OF THE SPA DURING ALL OPERATING HOURS.  We know our Rule has been to place the cover back on the Spa when each resident leaves.  However, this County law must be followed.  Please remember this.  

The Manager will be on vacation the week of August 11-15.  The Office phone will be forwarded to a Staff Member or Board Member during normal working hours.  If you have a MAINTENANCE EMERGENCY, PLEASE CALL THE MAINTENANCE EMERGENCY PHONE #510-908-3218.  This number is stated on the Office’s outgoing message.

Our Custodial Staff Member will be on vacation August 11-15.

Sincerely, Manager

Maintenance Emergency Phone Number


MAINTENANCE EMERGENCY PHONE #
:  our HOA Maintenance Emergency Phone # is 510-908-3218.  A staff member will have the phone on 24/7.  Leave a voice mail on this phone and the staff member will call you back shortly. 

We stress Maintenance Emergency. 

If the problem is a fire or intruder, that is a 911 call.  If you are locked out of your apartment or if the problem will not damage property or injure someone, it is not an emergency.  Emergencies are garage gate or exterior door will not open or close; Someone is trapped in the elevator; Water leak in your apartment, etc.

Our after-work hours On-Call employee is getting calls that should be directed to the city of Oakland such as vehicles illegally parked on Whitmore St, etc. For City of Oakland nonemergency matters call 311 (See Click Fix) or the police non-emergency number (510) 777-3333.

If you are locked out of your apartment after work hours you may call Joe at 510 626-0767 who may be able to help you if a copy of the keys to your unit is kept in the office.

Pool Rules

Please return the blue Spa cover when you leave to preserve water, chemicals, and heat.
