The Waverly Community Updates
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 open Monday – Friday from 9:00 am – 6 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.
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, 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.
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.
Gym Etiquette/ Rules
Propper gym attire is required. Cell phones must be on silent mode. Residents who take a call must leave the Gym to conduct their conversation. Gym equipment must be returned to its original place after each use. Residents are required to wipe down any equipment with sanitizer/wipes after each use.
Driving/Parking in the Garage
Please remember to exercise caution and drive at a safe speed to ensure the safety of your neighbors who may be walking in the garage. Always park your car in your designated space and within the lines of the parking space. Only park in the Handicapped spaces if you have a permit. Always lock your car when leaving. No storage of any items is allowed in parking spaces.
Compost Waste
This would include all of your food waste, fruits, vegetables, animal products, all the green waste, including plants, as well as soiled paper, so think about greasy napkins or paper straws. For storing and disposing, one suggestion is to keep a food waste bag in the fridge or freezer to minimize odors and then to empty it into the green bin once a week. Another solution is to utilize a small organic waste pail to collect scraps in. For disposal, the Green Compost Bin is located on the P1 level inside of the West Building trash room. For assistance locating and entering the West Trash room please reach out to the concierge.
Pets
Pets must be kept on a leash by someone capable of controlling the pet at all times when in the common areas. No pets are allowed in the common areas except to the extent necessary to provide ingress and egress to a unit. Pet waste must be picked up immediately and disposed of properly in outside receptacles. No pet waste should be disposed of in the lobbies waste receptacles.
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 notify 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.
Updating Contact Information and Desk Instructions
