Here are some updates and reminders:

**DWP – Planned Power Outage**
DWP has notified Management about a planned outage to the building and garage that will take place in the next week or so. The exact date is still being determined as this will affect other buildings nearby but the tentative date is Saturday September 15th. Notification will be sent out once the exact date and time is determined. The outage is said to take 8 hours and will likely happen between 12:01am – 8am. The outage is mandatory and will allow their crews to update equipment and perform maintenance of the line that services our location. DWP stated that they know this may be inconvenient, but this work can prevent a more significant, potentially longer outage from occurring in the future. Management has scheduled additional staff and engineering to be onsite during the outage. Please stay tuned for updates.

**Deliveries**
Please make sure delivery people check in with the front desk to ensure they make it up to the correct unit number. Please do not fob them into the building or up the elevator to help avoid them mistakenly going to the wrong unit.

**Non Ductile Concrete Building Ordinance**
Earlier this year residents received a notice from the Department of Building and Safety regarding the Non Ductile Concrete Building Ordinance. This new ordinance requires concrete buildings to make appropriate structural earthquake retrofits. Management has been working with the structural engineer firm who did the condo conversion back in 2007. The conversion included these required upgrades and the plans were provided to the city. Management was recently notified that the Department of Building and Safety has removed Eastern from their non-ductile building list and there are no additional structural upgrades that are needed.

Warm Regards,
