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

Fire Alarm Testing Friday March 7 from 9:30AM to 3PM

Dear Residents,

We will have our FIRE ALARM tested tomorrow, Friday March 7th.  This test will include all 3 buildings and will take from 9:30am until approx. 3pm, possibly a little later.  You will hear the fire alarm sound for about 1 second, about 1 time per minute, until the test is completed, perhaps 15-25 minutes.  If this will cause difficulty for residents and/or pets, please take whatever precautions are best.  We must have the alarm tested each year.

Sincerely, Manager
