Dear Residents,   

We are writing to let you know as we continue with the exterior repairs and reconstruction project, our contractors will be repairing dry rot at 2 locations in the courtyard on the first floor and shoring up to the 2nd floor. This work is scheduled to start Tuesday, September 6, 2022 and should take approximately four (4) days to complete. We anticipate the construction timeline to occur over a four-day period, barring any changes or delays which may extend the forecasted schedule below. 

This process will not require interior access to your unit. 

Additional Guidelines are provided to you as reference prior to start of work and during the reconstruction phase of the project:   

1. Keep Windows and Doors Closed: Please keep all windows and doors and associated window coverings near work areas closed during construction.
2. Wall Vibrations: Please remove or relocate any hanging and fragile items away from the interior walls where work is being implemented. The contractor will not be responsible for any items damaged if not removed from the walls prior to construction.     
3. Work Hours: The Contractor’s working schedule is from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm, Mondays through Friday (excluding major holidays). Please avoid the work areas during this period. There will be days that the vendors may not be working onsite to allow applied building materials/products sufficient curing/drying time.   
4. Noise: There will be sporadic, elevated noise from the construction work, particularly during demolition and installation.    
5. Contractor Identification: All contractor field employees will be identified with company safety vests or attire.     
   • Please do not approach the workers under any circumstances unless it is an emergency. If you have to pass the work area for any reason, please maintain the regulated six (6) feet distance.   
   • All contractors will be wearing face masks for protection and safety.  
   • No contractor will be allowed on site if showing symptoms.  
   • All contractors will be undergoing daily temperature checks prior to start of work.   
   • Any contractor who shows symptoms of being sick will not be allowed onsite.   
6. Pets: For the safety of your pets and our workers, please provide a secure location for your pets during construction and refrain from these work areas.
7. Notice and Schedule Changes: This Notice will serve as Notice to Resident. This schedule may be subject to changes, delays, work modifications and operational adjustments due to implementation of safety protocols (including social distancing, sanitation, and other procedures due to Coronavirus/COVID-19), weather, additional damages uncovered, any delays related to mock-ups, additional inspections and testing, value engineering or repair processes, other unforeseen conditions and/or any other issues outside of the construction team’s control.
8. Stay Alert: Please be careful and stay aware of your surroundings when you enter and exit. Access may be rerouted during this period. Please follow the signs accordingly.
