Earlier this summer, the HOA provided notice that the complex would undergo some major renovations to both the hot water and the heating systems. The majority of the first phase of this project is complete and we are now moving into the second phase of replacing the heating system boilers.

This work is expected to take approximately four days in each building. During this time, the supplied heat to each unit will be off. The HOA is aware that the nights are cool during this fall season, so we recommend that each unit keep windows and doors closed to help retain heat. Also, the HOA has one space heater for each unit available to use during this time. Please let the HOA board know if you would like one brought to your unit. (They do draw on your electricity, so it is recommended that they are used sparingly and only if necessary.)

We will provide notices to each building as soon as we know when the work is scheduled.

This has been a very big project and we appreciate everyone's patience during this work!

Over the next several weeks, the complex will be undergoing some major renovations to the original hot water and heating systems located in the mechanical room of each building.

The first phase of work includes removing and replacing the hot water tanks, as well as replacing all of the pipes associated with our domestic hot water. This will take about one week per building to complete—given no major issues arise during the project. During the week of work, the building and units will have cold, running water to faucets & toilets. However, there will be periods throughout the day (Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm) when hot water will be shut off. We will do our best to minimize the inconvenience to everyone’s home and will notify residents as soon as possible as to dates & times of when this work is to occur. Please keep in mind that there may be situations when the timeframe above will need to be extended for an hour or so beyond 5pm, as this is a very labor intensive project.

In the meantime, while all buildings are getting new water tanks, please try to stagger your hot water usage by spreading out running the dishwasher, doing laundry, and taking showers—even if your building is not being worked on.

The second phase of this project will take place once the first phase is complete in all of the buildings. We will then begin replacing and upgrading our heating system boilers to a more energy efficient system. This should not interrupt any daily activities. We will provide more information and notice as that time nears.

Please contact a board member if you have any questions or concerns regarding this project. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
