Dear Residents, 

We hope this finds you well. We are writing to let you know that as part of the exterior repairs and reconstruction project our contractors started exterior work to the building, which includes power washing, preparing and painting. Completion of the work will need approximately five (5) weeks to complete this process, which will occur between 7:30 am to 4:30 pm. Please note this timeline may be subject to change and/or delays, which may extend the forecasted schedule below. 

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

1. Clear Work Areas: Please clear any personal belongings, door mats, plants, etc at least 2 feet from the work area and deck/patios.  
2. Wall Vibrations: Please remove or relocate any hanging and fragile items away from the interior walls where window work is being implemented. The contractor will not be responsible for any items damaged if not removed from the walls prior to construction. 
3. Keep Windows and Doors Closed: Please keep all windows, doors, and associated window coverings near the work areas closed during construction.
4. Work Hours: The Contractor’s working schedule is from 7:30 am to 4:30 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. 
5. Noise: There will be intermittent, elevated noise from the construction work. 
6. Dust: There will be dust resulting from construction work. 
7. Contractor Identification: All contractor field employees will be identified with company safety vests or attire.

   • All contractors will be wearing face masks for protection and safety. 
   • 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. 
8. Pets: Please keep all pets, animals, and children safely secured indoors away from the work area.
9. 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. 
10. 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.
