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.
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. 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.
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 documentation needed.
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. At last check, 16 units have signed up for the Service. With this number of units, the cost should be $72.00 per unit. We encourage more owners to sign up. The service date is scheduled for Thursday 12/14.
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. We continue to receive 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. Programming vendor is now scheduled for Tuesday 12/12. We hope to have this resolved soon after.
Hydro Jetting Plumbing Lines
Hydro Jetting of the garage drain lines is scheduled for Thursday December 14th and Friday December 15th. Hydro jetting uses Highly-Pressurized water to comprehensively clean drains to help clogs from forming. The plumbers did not request us to inform residents of any water usage restrictions. You should have running water throughout the service. Residents Parking on the West Side of the P1 level will be asked to move their cars to the Retail side of the garage on Friday December 15th to allow the plumbers to work freely. Concierge will reach out to the affected owners with instructions on retail parking.
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.
