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 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 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. The Next General Session is scheduled for Thursday February 8th at 5 pm. You will be receiving more information via e mail with zoom link if you are not able to attend in person.
Owners Portal This is a very useful tool where you can update your guests list, register your pets, vehicles, and schedule Skybridge lounge reservations. You will also find important documents, see your payment history, manage your auto pay, and view your current and past statements. You will also have the ability to opt in or out of the resident directory. Management encourages you to update your portal on a regular basis. Please feel free to reach out to management if you need assistance with this.
P1 Resident Gate The P1 resident gate is still out of service. The Vendor is having difficulties with the wiring/ programing of the new motor. They have requested information from the manufacturer and are hoping to receive it next week. In the meantime, please continue to be vigilant and report any unknown persons in or around the building to the concierge, security, or the police if necessary. The concierge team, management, and security will continue to make additional walk throughs of the garage on a regular basis.
Upcoming Rain in the forecast Given the forecasted rain this coming week, we wanted to remind you to take any necessary precautions to safeguard your unit against water intrusion. If you’ve noticed any water intrusion during previous rain events, we recommend paying additional attention to those areas and taking appropriate measures. Swiftly addressing any observed water is crucial to preventing potential damage to your floor or surrounding spaces. For residents who haven’t been home for an extended period (more than seven days), our building staff can perform a courtesy check on your unit. To facilitate this, we require written authorization to enter your unit. You can provide this authorization via email to waverlyconcierge@actionlife.com. Feel free to reach out, and we’ll gladly check your unit for you.
Guests/ Visitors/ Amenity Spaces Visitors must be accompanied by a resident when using the amenity spaces including the Gym, Skybridge Lounge and Pet Spa. Owners who have leased their units are prohibited from using the amenity spaces while their unit is leased.
Building Safety Please be sure to close doors behind you when entering/exiting the building. Additionally, please be aware when entering the garage of the possibility of unknown people entering behind you. The cold weather along with the rainy season causes unhoused individuals to seek indoor shelter. Please be sure to report any suspicious activity to the concierge or call and report to the Police if it is warranted.
Work done in units. 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.
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.
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.
