We will be preforming a preventative maintenance project with Countywide Mechanical Systems, where Countywide will be clearing the main drain line through the kitchen sink in each unit stack for stacks 7 through 12. This work is necessary in order to maintain the integrity of the pipes and to help prevent possible backups into units. Therefore, all residents who live in stacks 7 through 12 must be present on their stack’s scheduled date in order for the work to be done. This means if you are in the “9” stack, all residents from 209, 309, 409, etc., must provide access at the same time so that the drain line can be cleared.

If you cannot be home to provide access, you may leave a key with the Building Engineer, Edward Orozco, prior to the project start date. Edward works on-site Monday-Friday from 7:30am-3:30pm (out of office the week of 7/25). If access is not provided to your unit during your scheduled date, a locksmith will be onsite and

utilized for access. If you have made other arrangements for access, please be sure to confirm with Management by emailing Justine Poulton at jpoulton@actionlife.com at least five (5) business days prior to your scheduled date.

Once all units have been serviced, the lines will need to be flushed in the garage levels, which will take place on Thursday, August 24th. We will also be power washing the parking garage during this time. All vehicles will need to be vacated from the garage on this day. If your vehicle is not moved, it may be towed at the vehicle owner’s expense.

Please note that access is required between 9:00am – 5:00pm during your stack’s scheduled date for this project. You are not required to stay the entire time, but you will need to ensure access is provided for Countywide to perform the drain work on your stack’s scheduled date. Any unit owners that do not provide access will be called to a hearing and fined for any costs associated with a reschedule maintenance visit or locksmith fees associated with acquiring access to the unit, which can be up to $750.00.

Please review the attached documents for the specific schedule for this project.

This is a friendly reminder about the proper ways to dispose of cardboard boxes for stacked living.

1. Do not put any boxes down the trash chute
2. Break-down boxes and dispose of broken down, flattened boxes in the trash room or in the recycling bins inside the garage.

Please do not leave boxes near the recycling bins that are not broken down. Anyone found to be in violation of these rules will receive a warning letter, and if there are repeated offences, the Owner of the unit will be invited to a hearing with the Board of Directors and may incur fines.

Let’s all do our part to continue to make Solara Lofts a great place to live!
