Gates

The Board discussed installing new access gates to the garage and main entrances.  Management was directed to reach out to A Garage Door to ask if they had photos of similar properties with the gates they are proposing.

Dog Barking Reminder

While we are a dog-friendly building, as a reminder, residents are entitled to quiet enjoyment of their units.  Please take the necessary measures to limit barking when in the unit and in common areas.  Barking can be considered a nuisance, which is a violation of the governing documents.  Work with our furry companions to make Columbia Place an enjoyable living space for all! 

Bulk Items Left at the Trash Room

Please arrange with Management if you have large items to be disposed of.  As you are aware, the trash rooms are not large and items piling up could cause a fire hazard.  If you are able to break down such items, please do so. 

Quarterly Sprinkler Inspection

HCI will be onsite Tuesday, September 10, 2019 from 9:30am – 12:30pm to perform the quarterly sprinkler inspection.  Please note the outside bells will sound intermittently.  HCI will not need access into individual units.
