PICK UP YOUR MAIL EVERYDAY!
Dear 288 Whitmore St residents,
Two pairs of thieves recently opened our mailboxes with a USPS Master Key, which they stole from a Mail Carrier. Fortunately, this time, they were interrupted and only had time to steal from 2 individual mailboxes. We cannot tell which boxes, other than to say they were in the first bank, closest to the lobby door. With at least 2 pairs of people possessing a Master Key, our best defense is to collect our mail every day.
Tide Pods must NOT be placed into the dispenser trays
During the last week, we have experienced 2 washers being clogged because someone placed a detergent pod (soap pod) into the sectional tray which contains soap, bleach, and fabric softener. Soap pods should always be placed directly into the washing machine, NOT in the sectional tray. This clogging caused a leak from the machines onto the floor, which is a “slip and fall” hazard, not to mention unpleasant to walk through water. Manager
Manager’s Updates June 14
The task with Alameda County has moved forward. To reopen today, everything needed to go as quickly as possible. Since this did not happen, we are anticipating reopening in the next 7-12 days. Again, I will keep you posted as developments occur.
REMINDER: Next Saturday night, 6-22-2024 from 9pm until Sunday 6-23-2024 at 6am, PG&E will shut off our electricity to replace a phone/power pole near the West end of Whitmore Street. Our plans are much the same as the first instance. We will communicate the plan with updates next week. We will most likely hire a Security Guard company for this night. The guard will patrol entrances, garages, and buildings.
A colorful motorhome and a Cadillac have been parked on Whitmore St. for 7 weeks and 2 weeks respectively. If any resident is familiar with the owners (occupants?) of either vehicle, please contact the office with information.
Thank you, Manager
Manager’s Updates June 6
The Pool/Jacuzzi process with Alameda County has moved forward. We are still on schedule to reopen both of them between 6-14 and 6-28. Positive interaction with the County official continues to lead us to believe that we will reopen in the earlier half the above time frame. We believe work will begin next week and it will not take as long as we first feared. I will send another email when we have a significant development.
Today, we all likely received a notice from PG&E in the US Mail informing us that the prior OUTAGE has now been rescheduled to start Sat. 6-22 at 9pm and finish Sun. 6-23 at 6am. The Board, Staff, and I expect to be quite well prepared for it, since we already had “Round 1.” Another official communication will come as we approach June 22nd.
Sincerely, Manager
RockRidge Manor
