The Waverly Community Update
Greetings Waverly Residents,
We hope this message finds you well.
Please see the information below in our community e mail. While we strive to keep you informed about the community, we encourage you to continue monitoring local information sources. An informed community is a strong one. We kindly ask that you take a moment to review the contents of this email, your feedback and suggestions are highly valued.
Here are some updates on ongoing items and events within the Waverly Community:
Management Office Hours –
The management office is normally open Tuesday – Saturday from 8:30 am – 5 pm. Due to the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend. The office will be closed from Friday 11/24- Monday 11/27. Back to normal working hours on Tuesday 11/28.
Meeting of the Board of Directors
For any upcoming meetings of your Board of Directors, updates on meetings will be emailed approximately four days prior to meeting date. Agendas will be posted in the mail room, at the front desk, west building elevator entrance on the lobby level, and in your resident portal. If a meeting is canceled, information will be communicated via email and postings. For any questions, feel free to reach out to Management or the Front Desk team. We encourage Waverly HOA members to attend these meetings, as they are exclusively for association members.
Work done in units.
As a reminder, no decorating/cosmetic work may proceed at The Waverly until a Unit Decorating Agreement has been approved. Only minor repairs or replacement of appliances are exempted from this requirement.[1] Please be sure to discuss your plans for decorating/cosmetic work with management.
[1] Decorating/cosmetic work would include alterations that are limited in scope (such as bathroom and kitchen modernization where no changes are being made to plumbing systems) or involve purely decorative work (such as floor scraping, painting and wall papering). Alterations affecting structural components of the Project, “Common Area”, or Project systems will require the Owner to obtain the consent of the Design Review Committee after the Design Review Committee’s review of the plans and specifications for said alterations and to enter into an Alteration Agreement with the Design Review Committee, the form of which is available from the Manager.
A/C System biannual maintenance service
Information and instructions on scheduling biannual maintenance was sent to all homeowners. Several homeowners signed up for the service. Magic Touch has completed most, if not all of them. For those that still need to schedule your service, please contact Magic Touch directly. Their phone number is 818-335-4100 ext. 1. Their email address is info@magictouch.la
Dryer Duct Maintenance
Management has found a vendor to provide this service at a discounted rate depending on how many units sign up. A separate e mail with information on scheduling service has been sent. The vendor believes this service may be done without the need to enter the units. To schedule your service, please contact Action Duct Cleaning Co. directly by calling the office, (626) 791-7870 and ask for Alfred (The Waverly Service Rep), or you can email alfred@actionduct.com
Dry Cleaning Service
Management has worked with Ritz Dry Cleaners & French Hand Laundry to secure a 20% discount on all orders for Waverly residents. Ritz Dry Cleaners & French Hand Laundry has the ability to pick up any day of the week and deliver to The Waverly with turnaround time of 2-3 days. Please stop by the concierge for information and laundry bag if you wish to use their Service. So far we have received excellent feedback on their service.
Exterior Lighting – Olympic
Installation of all new light fixtures on the Olympic side is complete. Lighting on Olympic has still not been adjusted to the building’s timer. The issue is the programing system currently in use is discontinued. Unfortunately, the tech scheduled for our service was delayed at another job site and was not able to be on site this week. They are looking to reschedule for ASAP and have this issue finally resolved.
Vendors/Workers
As a reminder, anyone working in your units must have proper insurance and licensing (when needed). Please be sure to check in with management or the concierge team any time you are scheduling any work for repairs needed in your unit. We will not allow work to be done without the proper paperwork needed.
Communications with SMPD
Management meets monthly with Captain Thomas McLaughlin of SMPD to walk Tongva Park and address ongoing concerns and criminal activity in the surrounding community. Management continues its weekly walk through Tongva Park looking for and reporting any encampments that may begin to pop up. Security and front desk teams continue to work together to keep The Waverly residents as safe as possible. We encourage residents to report any suspicious activity to law enforcement and Management.
Updating Contact Information and Desk Instructions
If you have recently changed your email or phone number, please provide the updated information to the front desk. Accurate contact details are essential for timely communications. Additionally, please exercise caution and courtesy.

Clean Your Closets for Charity & Donate to Flair’s 21st Annual Holiday Clothing and Shoe Drive
It’s time to clean our closets for charity and support the Flair Cleaners 21st Annual Holiday Clothing and Shoe Drive from November 24 through December 31, 2023. Customers may leave a clearly marked bag at Flair Cleaners located at 720 Montana Ave. Santa Monica, CA 90403. Donations will be given to The Salvation Army Santa Monica. “The numbers are staggering: 58,936 people in Los Angeles County are experiencing homelessness and six out of 10 of these are without housing for the first time. Without homes, many of these individuals lack basic needs including clothing and shoes,” said Gary Futterman, owner of Flair Cleaners. “This annual event makes it easy for our customers to not only clear their closets of unused items but helps our communities and neighbors in need.”
Items needed most:
- Clothing in men’s, women’s, and children’s sizes
- Extra-large and tall sizes are needed (XL, XXL, XXXL shirts)
- Business attire
- New socks and undergarments (used items will not be accepted)
- Sun hats and ball caps
- Shoes in men’s, women’s, and children’s sizes
- Coats, beanies, and gloves
- Pajamas, tops and bottoms
Donating Tips:
- Before donating, consider the dignity of the person receiving your donation.
- Never give something you wouldn’t be willing to wear.
- Be sure that all used clothing is clean, of good quality, and ready to wear (no repairs needed).
- Remember to empty all pockets before donating.
