CLJG now has the
capability to accept checks automatically each month from your checking account.
Forms were mailed out last month. If you need a form, you can phone Leslie
Holiday at Menas Realty (780-7870 ext. 24) or download one from http://www.capelajollagardens.com/
All owners recently
received an update form from Menas so that we may have current records on all
CLJG residents. Please take the time, if you have not already done so, to
note any changes in phone number, car licenses (please note new make and
model, too), and your personal emergency contact. ALL tenancy CHANGES MUST BE
REPORTED IMMEDIATELY to Menas Realty. The RESPONSIBILITY LIES WITH THE OWNER
to make sure tenant information is current.
You should all
have, or will soon have received a questionnaire from our HOA attorney, Erik
Basil regarding Condo maintenance issues. It is of UTMOST
IMPORTANCE THAT ALL OWNERS RESPOND TO THIS QUESTIONNAIRE PROMPTLY.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to answer and return this.
If you notice a
major water problem in the common area (water shooting up into the air, a
"flooded" area, etc.) you should immediately call Menas. If this
occurs during non-business hours (it always seems to, doesn't it?), you can
help us all out by turning off the water valve to the central sprinkling
system. This shut-off handle is located in the north-east corner of the
property, just in front of the north wall. If you do turn off the water
supply some night or weekend, please leave a message for Leslie at Menas Realty.
Don't forget to
replace your batteries in your smoke alarms. When the battery is low or dead,
the alarm will make a short chirping beep about once a minute. Don't EVER disconnect the smoke alarm to stop the
chirping noise. That smoke alarm may save you and your home along with your
neighbor's homes. It is a homeowner's responsibility to change these
batteries, not a HOA responsibility. Batteries are 9 volt and under $5. Be
very careful changing your smoke alarm batteries. Never climb a tall ladder
without a "spotter" to help. If you aren't tall enough, make
friends with a tall neighbor or call a handyman!
Does it take too
long for your clothes to dry? If you have observed any build-up of lint in or
around your dryer vent's exterior exhaust hood, then it's a good bet that
your vent is due for cleaning. The Vent Cleaner (800-960-8368) will inspect
and clean the entire exhaust system to re-establish proper air flow, restore
dryer efficiency, and eliminate any associated fire hazards. They charge $79
for one unit and $69 per unit for two units.
Please don't
spray the common area around your unit with any hazardous pesticides or
chemicals. Also, do not hire a pest control agency for external spraying, as
we need to be aware of all treatment that goes on outside. CLJGHOA has a
contract with Terminix for the common areas: they use only pet and child safe
products. Some residents' unfortunate pets became extremely ill and one died
due to a unauthorized hazardous chemical used on the common areas. If you
have an infestation, please contact Menas Realty to schedule an additional
spraying by your unit.
Thanks for
cooperating with tree disposal during the holidays. It really made a
difference not to have our dumpsters filled with dead trees. We weren't as
successful with the general holiday trash, as bags of gift boxes, wrapping
paper, and sticky cups and plates littered the ground next to the dumpsters
on several occasions. If the dumpsters are filled to capacity, you need to
take your trash back to your house or your garage until the waste service
comes and there's room in the dumpster. Trash left outside the dumpster
attracts ants and rats! The trashmen don't pick up anything lying beside the
receptacle (that's not part of the service). If the trash you left beside the
dumpster is gone the next time you visit, it's probably because one of your
neighbors got sick of the unsightliness and put it in the dumpster. Let's not
rely on the "kindness of strangers" and dispose of all trash
properly ourselves.
All maintenance
requests should be routed through Leslie at Menas Realty (270-7870 ext. 24),
who will assess them and then pass them to Michele (270-7870 ext. 27). Thanks
for your cooperation.
