Community Update; July 14, 2023
Dear Watermark Community,
I hope everyone is doing well, staying cool, and enjoying this San Diego Summer!!! As we enter the peak season of tourism, it is important to be mindful of the upcoming ComicCon, scheduled from Thursday, 7/20, to Sunday, 7/23. This renowned event brings about an anticipated surge in traffic, visitors, and general excitement. I urge you to plan your activities accordingly and remain aware of the potential impacts on travel time and pedestrian and vehicular congestion.
Below are your weekly updates:
- Your Board of Directors met on Tuesday, July 11th and provided updates on the OPOS and Window Washing projects;
- For the OPOS, the next steps involve implementing the anchors on the rooftop. Destructive testing will be completed on the fourth and fifth floors, so the engineering company can see the trusses that the anchors will attach to and determine what will be required. Once this has been determined it will be submitted to the City and the State and, once approved, the HOA can work to obtain bids for the work. The destructive testing is scheduled for Monday July 17th. The locations they are opening will be covered but not closed up until they have everything they need to move forward.
- Regarding the window washing, the Board would like to inform the Ownership that the completion of the window washing is based on requirements being provided to the HOA by Cal/OSHA. One of the requirements includes a signed contract with a company to complete the installation of the anchors. The HOA will continue to work with Cal/OSHA and will proceed according to their requirements. As you can see these two items are tied closely together. We will continue to keep you updated.
- The approved meeting minutes from the June 13, 2023 meeting are posted on the HOA portal for your review.
- SDG&E has rescheduled their planned power outage for July 31st at 10:00pm-August 1st at 4:00am. This outage will be for the replacement of meters. The HOA will be sending information about the outage to occupants towards the end of next week with some suggestions that SDG&E recommends for preparation during an outage. We will also be taking steps to ensure that the building is secure during this time.
Below are some additional dates to be mindful of:
- July 18th at 10:00am is the Quarterly Maintenance Walk-Through. Please let me know if you’d like to join.
- July 20th at 8:00am, as part of the OPOS requirements, there will be rooftop coring. This will likely not be disruptive work.
- July 21st at 9:00am is the Monthly Landscape Walk-Through. Please let me know if you’d like to join.
If we have not had the chance to meet yet in-person, and you’d like to, please call or email me to set up a time. I look forward to the chance to get to know each of you.
Sincerely,
Shannon Zgrzemski, CMCA
