Window Washing

The next window washing must wait until repairs have been completed on Alicante’s window washing equipment. The window washing equipment is to be repaired on Friday, May 4^th so we hope to schedule shortly after.

Hallway Carpet and Paint Project

As communicated earlier, the Board approved new paint, carpet, and other updates for the resident hallways on floors 1 thru 14. The project schedule currently shows the following target installation schedule:

·         Install stained condo front door thresholds:  May 2018

Note: Dates are subject to vendors’ schedules. Current schedule information is displayed in the left side of the Mail Room glass case.

Dog Barking Reminder

While we are a dog-friendly building, as a reminder, residents are entitled to quiet enjoyment of their units.  Please take the necessary measures to limit barking when in the unit and in common areas.  Barking can be considered a nuisance – which is a violation of the governing documents.  Let us work with our furry companions to make Alicante an enjoyable living space for all!

Avoid Costly Sink Backups

The disposal may grind it, but Alicante’s pipes cannot handle grease, scraps, cornhusks, egg shells, peels (apples, carrots, etc.), oils/butters, excessive soap, coffee grounds, or rice. Moreover, since condos are stacked, a drain issue in one condo likely impacts those above/below. Please remember – and ask cleaning staff to remember – to avoid the items listed to help keep Alicante’s drains flowing.

Rental Leases

Per the Association’s Rules and Regulations, if you are renting your unit, please remember to send Management a copy of your lease. This information is necessary for many reasons, mainly for emergency purposes.  In the event of an evacuation, the authorities require us to have an updated list of who is in the building.  By not providing your lease and tenant’s information, we will not know who to look for if there was an evacuation situation.  This information is kept confidential. Please remember to submit this information every time you have a new tenant!  You can submit to kthomson@actionlife.com  or mplascencia@actionlife.com.

Architectural Applications

If you are thinking about making a change in your unit that would require architectural committee review and approval, please plan well in advance.  Per the Architectural Guidelines, the Committee is allotted 30-45 days for review.  It is also recommended to wait before setting a schedule with your contractor until an approval has been awarded.

Alicante Committees

There are four committees at Alicante:

·         The Architectural Committee reviews Architectural Applications submitted by owners.

·         The Common Area Enhancement Committee works on common area décor, such as the lobby.

·         The Owner Maintenance Committee provides information on maintaining condo systems.

·         The Social Committee plans and hosts gatherings, like the Annual holiday party.

If you are a member who is interested in serving the Community but cannot dedicate the time to serve as a Board Member, joining a committee may be perfect for you!  Please contact management at kthomson@actionlife.com for more details.  Alternately, Owners may view the various committee charters on Vivo Portal.

Contact Information

In the event you change your email address or phone number, please remember to advise management.  This allows us to continue to communicate important reminders to you!

Insurance Reminder

Owners, please be reminded you are required to have individual owners insurance.  Should you have any questions as to what your policy should cover, please review the CC&R’s for owners’ responsibility.  Should you have renters or are a renter, it is good practice to obtain renters’ insurance, in the event an emergency were to occur.

Moves/Deliveries

Just a reminder that all moves and deliveries must be scheduled with Management at least a week in advance.  A general rule of thumb is if it takes more than one person to move it, then a move must be scheduled.  The reason is simply to protect the building from sustaining damage during a move.  Please be advised that if you are found to have had an unscheduled move, you will be subject to hearing and fine.  If you are unsure of the scope of your move or would like to schedule a move, please contact the General Manager.

Maintenance Responsibilities

In case you are ever curious as to who is responsible for what, or find yourself in a situation where you don’t know if you should call Management or your own vendor, please see the Maintenance Matrix posted in the mailroom glass case.  We pulled this information from the Alicante CC&Rs.

Monthly Association Meetings

Just a reminder that each month’s Owners Board meetings includes an Open Session where Owners may discuss concerns with the Board, as well as listen while the Board discusses Association matters.  Owners are encouraged to attend!

Generally, there is a one-time fee of $75 to connect a condo’s coaxial cables to Alicante’s antenna. (There is no monthly fee to use the TV after being connected.) The vendor who makes the connections has offered to connect 2 condo’s for the price of 1 condo for residents who schedule their connections on the same day. To aid scheduling, please contact Management. For more details regarding Alicante’s TV antenna – and the channels you can receive – see this bulletin: Alicante OMC – Off-Air TV System.

Dusty Refrigerator Coils

The Owners Maintenance Committee has prepared a new bulletin describing how to clean your fridge’s cooling coils. Dust and pet fur can clog a refrigerator’s coils, causing the fridge to run longer / use more electricity to keep its contents cold. The committee recommends cleaning refrigerator coils every 6 months if you have pets, yearly if not. More information can be found in the bulleting: Alicante OMC – Refrigerator Coil Cleaning.

All OMC bulletins are available online:

Fire Safety Reminders

Living in a high-rise differs from living in a single family home. This new bulletin includes reminders – like never paint fire sprinklers – to improve fire safety for the building: Alicante OMC – Fire Safety Reminders

Holiday Decorations

As a reminder, all holiday decorations should be removed from doors and balconies by January 10^th.

Trash Etiquette

Please remember to break down boxes prior to placing in the recycle bins. If you choose to dump trash in the trash room, please use the trash container under the chute so that it will get dumped on the next pick up.

Balboa Park Scavenger Hunt

Participate as a team, family, couple, or individual. Complete the adventure as quickly as possible or meander along aimlessly. The goal is to have fun outdoors and hopefully learn some interesting things along the way. All you need to play is a mobile device with web access. Tours are self-guided, so you can play any time you want. One price per team, not per person. Begins in the Organ Pavilion Parking Lot at a cost of $40-$50 and can be completed daily from 8am-8pm.

Pet Reminders

While we are a dog friendly building, please keep your furry companions on a leash while walking through the common areas. Per the Alicante Association Membership Handbook #9: “A leash held by an individual capable of controlling the animal must be used when walking your pet in the Common Areas including the lobby, hallways, garage and elevators.”

Additionally, please do not allow your pet to relieve themselves in the planters! To reduce confusing your furry friend, please do not walk your pet through the patio/recreational area.

Lastly, as a reminder, residents are entitled to quiet enjoyment of their unit. Please take the necessary measures to limit barking when in the unit and common areas.  If there is persistent barking, it may rile up other furry neighbors and could be considered a nuisance – which is a violation of the governing documents.  Let’s work with our furry companions to make Alicante an enjoyable living space for all!
