Just an update for our residents;

We still remain in Phase 1 mode,  meaning our amenities (Gym, Pool, Billiards, Ping-Pong, Squash, Card nights… etc.) are still closed … and we are still restricted to one person per elevator (more than 1 if they live in the same unit).

The good news is out Tennis Court is OPEN!!  Currently only two people can be on the tennis court at one time, but it’s nice to know that things are slowly going to “normal” again.

Please exercise caution —  stay healthy!

 

Take everyday preventive actions to stop the spread of germs.

To the residents of Place IV — Please follow these common-sense actions to help prevent the rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus among us.

We are attempting to prevent the spread through preventative measures, but we also need YOU to use common sense to help us control the spread.

We ask that when using the elevators, try to limit the number of passengers in the elevator to 3 people and try to distance yourselves from others.

Avoid touching buttons and door handles with your unprotected hands and avoid touching your face until you’ve washed or disinfected your hands after touching unsanitized surfaces, such as buttons and door handles.

Disinfect any incoming packages  (using disinfecting wipes, if you have any) that may have been handled by an infected source.

Also note that we are asking all residents to not allow visitors into our building — with the exception of Personal Care Workers (PCW) and other health workers, like nurses and emergency personnel.

COMMON SENSE RULES

• • Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
  • IF YOU ARE SICK,
    • limit contact with others as much as possible to keep from infecting them.
    • CDC recommends that you stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone except to get medical care or for other necessities. (Your fever should be gone for 24 hours without the use of a fever-reducing medicine.)
  • Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze or try to not sneeze into the air — sneeze into your elbow if you must sneeze.  After using a tissue, throw it in the trash and wash your hands.
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water.  If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.  Germs spread this way.
  • Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that may be contaminated with germs like flu.

We know that this crisis will end eventually — if we use common sense, we will have survived this pandemic with fewer issues than if we didn’t — so, for the sake of all residents of Place IV,  let’s be smart and fight this together.

 

The PCC232 Board of Directors and Condominium Manager are taking a proactive stance on the prevention of spreading COVOD-19 (Coronavirus) in the building.

Public Health recommends everyday steps to help prevent the spread of germs and viruses:

We are pleased to announce that starting Monday, June 10th we are getting our windows cleaned!

For your privacy, you may wish to close your blinds or drapes when they are working on your side of the building.

With the nice weather finally here, we hope you take advantage of it and get outside and enjoy the warmer months.

We want to remind you that NO BICYCLES are permitted in the building.  Please lock your bikes in the designated bike racks found in various spots within the parking garages (and please make sure your bike is REGISTERED with the management office)

If you bring a bike indoors, you may be subject to a cleaning fee — avoid the penalty and be smart — lock your bike in the appropriate places.  

Note that the corporation is not liable for damage or loss of bicycles on the property.  

As it has been several decades since it was upgraded, we hope you enjoy the results for the next few decades.

This weekend (Nov. 17-18, 2018) we experienced a flooding of the basement level due to someone’s negligence — again.   Someone in our building thought it was a good idea to flush a rag down the toilet.  This bad decision ended costing us all over $10, 000 in cleaning and repair fees.

Please remember that cloths, rags,  towels, paper towels, fat, grease, solid objects and stuff that toilets are not designed for should NEVER be flushed down the toilet.

It ends up costing us a lot of money to recover from those mistakes. All of us.

Your assistance in being a smart owner and resident will help us keep our condo maintenance fees down overall.

Remember, it’s YOUR money too!
