Labour Day Weekend Update August 31 2024

The move is ongoing this morning and going as well as can be expected.

If the elevator button is not working for you it is because at the moment the one elevator is locked for the move. It will be unlocked periodically for residents' access.

Kone's crew was still sick and they were not able to get overtime workers but we are still speaking with them every day to try to get the second elevator working. We know it is not reasonable for residents to live like this.

The garbage room is overflowing so if it is possible for you to delay putting more garbage in the room it would be helpful.

ELEVATOR GUIDELINES 

• Do Not Overload: Adhere to the maximum weight limit posted inside the elevator. Overloading can cause mechanical failures and pose safety risks. 

• Avoid Holding Doors Open: Holding the elevator doors open for extended periods can damage the door mechanisms. Use the 'door open' button if necessary but avoid manual intervention. 

• Jumping or Rough Behavior: Jumping or any rough behavior inside the elevator can cause it to malfunction. Please maintain a calm and steady presence while inside. 

• Proper Use of Buttons: Press buttons gently and avoid pressing multiple floor buttons unnecessarily. This can confuse the system and cause delays. 

• Do Not Block Doors: Ensure nothing obstructs the elevator doors from closing properly. This includes luggage, strollers, or any other objects. 

• Avoid Spills: Refrain from eating or drinking in the elevator to prevent spills that can damage the interior and mechanisms. 

• Report Issues Promptly: If you notice any irregularities or malfunctions with the elevator, report them to the management immediately so repairs can be made swiftly. 

• Your cooperation is essential in ensuring the elevator remains in good working condition for everyone’s convenience and safety. 

SECURITY REMINDERS

We have noticed an increase in break-ins/thefts in the parkade area. Remember that everyone is responsible for building security:

• Do not buzz anyone into the building through the enter phone unless you are expecting them and/or know them personally.

• Do not hold the door open for strangers. Close the door behind you.

• Do not leave doors propped open and unattended.

• When entering or exiting the parkade, stop and wait until the gate fully closes before driving away. Do not let anyone follow you in.

• Phone the police if you see any suspicious activity.

• Do not leave doors and windows open that may be accessible.

• Do not leave your garage remote or any valuables in your vehicle.

• Phone 911 for emergencies.

HOT WATER ISSUES January 2024

We are ware of hot water issues in the building. This issue is related to the DHWR pump that is currently down and awaiting repair. As the recirculation system is not currently working as it should, residents will need to run their hot water and induce flow through the system in order for the hot water to reach their unit.  

This pump is currently 2 weeks away and there is not much we can do in the meantime.  To get hot water faster,  it's advised to run multiple taps on hot to flush the lines quicker.  

AMAZON SECURE ACCESS

Amazon has implemented a service which provides their drivers secure access to the building and each floor in a secure way.

From February 2023, Amazon packages should be left in front of the door of the respective suite.

CLOTHES DONATION

The donation bin has been removed from the garbage/recycling room at Aria 2. 

Leaving clothing or other items on the garbage room floor creates unnecessary work for the cleaning staff and increases strata operating/disposal costs.

Please make alternative arrangements for donation.

WINDOWS AND ODOUR SENSITIVITIES

As it is now summer and we all have our windows open, it has been brought to the Strata Council's attention that some residents are having a hard time with some of the smells and odours coming into the building.

Marijuana and cigarette smoke are unpleasant smells, and residents are reminded that smoking is not permitted.

The Strata Council would also like to ask everyone to consider other residents when purchasing heavy perfume or odour items. One item of concern is highly scented dryer sheets. 

Strata Bylaws:

45        No Smoking
(1)        For the purposes of this bylaw 44, the following definitions apply:
(a)        “smoke” or “smoking” includes inhaling, exhaling, burning or carrying of a lighted cigarette, cigar, pipe, hookah pipe or other lighted smoking equipment that burns tobacco or other weed substances (including, for certainty, cannabis);
(b)        “vape” or “vaping” includes inhaling, exhaling, vaporizing or carrying or using an activated e cigarette.

(2)        An owner, tenant, occupant or visitor must not smoke or vape anywhere in or on the common property or limited common property (including, for certainty, balconies and patios).

Fobs for Gates and Door Access

The building access fobs have two components; RFID chip that you hold near the entry sensors on doors and elevators, and radio transmitter that activates parking gates. 

If you are having problems opening the parking gates your battery may be low and can be replaced by removing the 3 screws on the back of the fob. Some residents have found the battery can be a little loose and inserting a small piece of foam or paper inside the case can help secure it. Some of the fobs are very old and it is also possible that the buttons are worn out and you will need to purchase a new fob.

Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update

As you are aware, concerns about Coronavirus, also known as “COVID-19”, are increasing throughout Canada.

While the media has been quick to provide real-time updates on the spread of the virus, we highly recommend you rely on trusted and respected health services when researching and communicating about the novel coronavirus. These include the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) at www.canada.ca/en/public-health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) at www.cdc.gov and the World Health Organization (WHO) at www.who.int.

What is the Novel Coronavirus?

Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses, some that cause illness in people and others that cause illness in animals. Coronaviruses include the seasonal flu and common cold. Novel (new) coronaviruses are new strains of the virus that have not been previously identified in humans.

Symptoms

Reported symptoms can include a fever, cough, or shortness of breath and may appear in as few as two to fourteen days following exposure. If you develop a cold or flu-like symptoms, especially after travelling, it is recommended to call your local healthcare provider for personalized expert advice.

How It Spreads

According to the CDC, transmission of the virus is primarily spread between people who are in close contact with one another. It is also believed that a person can be exposed to the new coronavirus by touching a compromised surface or object. However, due to the delicate nature of the virus, the CDC has stated that exposure from products or packaging that are shipped or mailed over a period of days or weeks as “very low risk.”

Prevention & Treatment

The PHAC, WHO and the CDC have recommended the following steps to help reduce the risk of exposure and to help prevent spreading the virus:

• Clean your hands with soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizer and wash for at least 20 seconds

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands

• Cover your nose and mouth when coughing and sneezing with tissue or a flexed elbow, and frequently dispose of used tissues

• Avoid close contact with anyone with cold or flu-like symptoms

• Clean and disinfect objects and surfaces

• Stay home if you feel like you have cold or flu-like symptoms

FirstService Residential has obtained the foregoing information from the reliable sources noted above, but we are not authorities in addressing infectious diseases and urge you to continue to seek appropriate medical advice from your healthcare professional.

ELEVATOR REMINDER REGARDING BICYCLES

How to Protect Yourself from Colds, Flus and the Novel Coronavirus

February 5th

Winter in British Columbia means it is cold and flu season, and this year there is an additional risk with the Novel Coronavirus. The news media has been very quick to share news of this virus from its original outbreak to its spread. We recommend that you consult trusted and respected health sources in researching this virus. We also want to share some suggestions as to how you can protect yourself this winter.

What is the Novel Coronavirus?

Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses: some that cause illness in people, and others that cause illness in animals. Rarely, animal coronaviruses can infect people, and even more rarely, these can then spread from person to person through close contact. Novel (new) coronaviruses are new strains of the virus that have not been previously identified in humans. Symptoms can include:

• fever

• cough

• difficulty breathing

• shortness of breath.

We urge you to seek immediate medical assistance if you are concerned about your symptoms. If you would like to read more about Novel Coronavirus, please visit the website for the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC)

How to prevent the spread of all winter illnesses:

The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) identify the following tips for reducing your risk of infection and how to prevent spreading infection if you fall ill:

• Clean your hands with soap and water or alcohol-based hand rub often and wash for at least 20 seconds

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands

• Cover your nose and mouth when coughing and sneezing with tissue (then throw it out) or a flexed elbow

• Avoid close contact with anyone with cold or flu-like symptoms

• Clean and disinfect objects & surfaces in your home such as door handles, phones, taps and counter tops

• Stay home if you feel like you have cold-like symptoms

• Thoroughly cook meat and eggs

• Avoid unprotected contact with all wild or farm animals

Taking extra precautions during the cold and flu season is always advised and we urge you to seek immediate medical assistance if you are concerned about your symptoms.

Thank you for your cooperation in taking these precautions around your building and within your home.

STORAGE ROOM AND PARKADE AUDIT

Please be advised that if any items are left outside the storeroom, in the hallways of the store room, on top of the storage room cages, in the parkade, or in any area designated as common property, they will be disposed of by the landlord.

Secondly, the Building Operators did an audit of the parkade of vehicles without valid license plates, current registration and storage registration (displayed in any window of the vehicle). A notice was placed on the vehicles in question, advising the owner that the vehicle would be towed, as well as communicated to Strata Managers. Please note that on or after August 1st, 2019, Onni will be towing these vehicles out of the parkade. The vehicles cannot be parked in the parkade, as they are not insured and therefore, a liability to the other vehicle owners, The Strata Corporation, and Onni, as well as the fire code, as various municipalities state that all vehicles in a parkade must be insured.

PARKADE NOTICE

Phase nine out of nine phases is scheduled to be completed on Monday, July 15. During the week of Monday July 15 to July 19 deficiency work is to be carried out in the parkade. The Morrissey Street (Thrifty Foods) P2 level ramp will be closed due to the coating process taking place. Please use alternate P2 Brew street ramp when P2 access and or P3 access is required or when P1 access is required when coming from P2 or P3 levels.

One-way drive aisles will be created to address traffic moving from the Brew Street side of the Parkade to the Morrissey (Thrifty Foods) side of the parkade as a high traffic area is going to be coated during the deficiency week. The project is estimated to be completed on Friday July 19th.

Review Your Personal Insurance Deductible

The Council has recently renewed your insurance coverage for BCS 3224 for new policy term effective December 11, 2018. Please note that due to changes with the insurer’s minimum requirements, the deductible for water damage and sewer back-up will increase from $10,000 to $20,000 as of midnight, December 11, 2018.  

All Owners should contact their insurance provider and advise of the above changes to ensure they are fully covered and they have adequate personal insurance for their unit. 

Window Condensation

It is common for condensation to build up on the interior of windows during the cold winter months. The common cause of this problem is when the temperature inside your apartment varies greatly from the temperature outside.  

Make sure you increase air circulation in your apartment home to help keep condensation at a minimum:

• Arrange furniture so it does not block any windows

• Raise blinds 2" off your window sills and open blinds

• Regularly wipe window sills and around their edges, check any curtains regularly for moisture

• When condensation does occur, dry area immediately to prevent moisture build-up

• Shut off humidifiers in your apartment

• Run the kitchen and bathroom fans longer than you usually do to keep air moving

• Air out your apartment for a few minutes each day.  Air out the bathroom and kitchen as these are places where heat and moisture linger.

Parcel Delivery Box

We are working out the final details to have secure parcel delivery boxes in the lobby area.

Elevator Maintenance

Richmond Elevator will be doing some final maintenance work and the new company, KONE Inc, will take over on March 1.

(Kudos to strata council member Jim on this one, he put in a lot of hours researching and negotiating).

What's New - December 2018

The carpet

We chose squares because we can replace a section if required. One of the worst causes of damage was leaking garbage (bleach, ink, paint etc.) 

Painting of walls

The paint is washable. The previous one was not. If you see or cause a smudge...Wipe it. It only takes a minute.

New chandelier

Part of the previously approved lobby upgrade.

Handicap button on front door

Use the buttons only, if you really need it.

Wait until the door has closed behind you. The time the door stays open is a bit longer, for obvious reasons.

Acrylic sheet wall protection in lobby

The newly painted walls already show evidence of damage. This an attempt to nullify that.
