With pollen and humidity down we are planning to enter the final phase of our west side waterproofing involving our corridors. Temperatures being just right we will begin Monday with pressure washing, and then starting on the top floors we will attempt two corridors per night. We will be informing all rental agencies as well as email blasts to all owners. Our intent is to begin the applying of product at 9pm every evening, so we are going to need all occupants of the building to be in their units by that time and stay inside for the whole evening. The contractors have said they will stay until product is good for traffic. Unless it is an emergency that requires EMS we have to insist on no traffic on corridors. This is difficult, but if we can do this for one night per floor we can finish with a clean look of Atalaya for which it deserves. One night for years of good looking corridors that is all we ask. Of course we will be posting the schedule daily for those in-house, and this is as usual weather permitting. 

Thanks

With the door painting portion of the project being delayed on account of wet and cold weather in January we are seeing that now is a good time to proceed. Starting Friday the 19th at 9am our contractors will begin on the 17th floor with finishing up whatever grinding is needed to then be treated and painted along with the doors. Being that it is not possible to keep doors open in vacant units for drying we will be painting doors closed. Therefore, whenever you are her you will need to get the paint from maintenance to finish doors trim as you see it when you open door.

After the doors are completed, and we have not began to get to busy with occupancy we will begin the re-coating of the corridor floors. What we can't get to we will pick back up in early fall. This side of the building is the most challenging due to the traffic factor.

Thank you for your cooperation,

While the doors are being worked on, another worthwhile project is about to begin. The Southside a/c deck and platform are about to be expanded. Right now it's very difficult and dangerous for work to be performed on a/c units on it. With systems getting bigger the area needs expansion. The plan is on Monday February 1st we will have a crane to move a/c units to the ground after technicians confirm wiring details for when the units will be hooked back up. Then the expansion of the deck will not be slowed by working around units. This project without any major issues should only take about 2-3 days.

The affected units are 105,205,305,405,505,605,705,106,206,306,406,506,606,706. This is a good time of year for this project, because no air conditioning is required, everyone has auxiliary heat to use with air handler without outside unit being needed. There will be the need to get inside units to confirm wiring, so if you are renting your unit yourself please let your renters know. We will be contacting rental agencies to inform their guests in affected units.

There's always some project worthwhile doing at Atalaya.

Thank you

The Westside face of Atalaya has a fresh new look along with being protected from the elements. The swing stage has been dismantled and removed from the property opening back up the parking lot 100%. The contractors have started from the top working down sanding, grinding, and priming doors needing attention. This step does not require doors open. After prepping all doors they will then go back to the top and paint all doors prepped. At this time the doors will need to be open for painting the entire door 100%. If not you will notice the edging of the door not painted when you open it. But, if you don't want door open let us know and you can paint the edging when you come to your unit.

The biggest news is that after consulting with our contractor and product specialists it was determined that considering the concrete floors need to be 50 degrees for product to set and cure properly winter is not the time to proceed with this portion of the project. We will finish everything but the floors over the next couple of weeks including corridor walls, and the doors, then they will come back in March when days are longer, and the sun hits the corridor floors for them to apply product at night after a day of warming. Therefore there will be notices for foot traffic to stop at 8 or 9 pm in order for contractors to work on floors. We will be informing through emails to owners, and rental agencies as we get closer to actual date. The hope is doing 2 floors per night, therefore weather permitting this should be over within two weeks. 

This is a large and worthwhile project for Atalaya, and we need and appreciate everyone's cooperation.

Thank you
