FRIENDLY REMINDER: PLEASE ENSURE CONTRACTORS DO NOT DISCONNECT FIRE SYSTEM COMPONENTS

As a reminder to all Savina residents, any contractors working inside your home must not remove, disconnect, or tamper with any fire‑related components in your unit.

This includes speakers, strobes, sensors, or any device that is part of the building’s fire/life safety system.

Contractors may cover these components with appropriate tape or protective material, but they should never be unplugged or taken down.

This past weekend, a painter disconnected a fire‑system speaker inside a unit. This created a “trouble” signal on the building’s fire panel. When this happens:

  • We must immediately call an engineer to ensure the system is safe.
  • Unless the sign‑in sheet points us directly to the right unit, Rene and Fernando must spend time reviewing building plans to locate the issue.
  • Most importantly, Savina’s system operates on a loop which means:
    • Disconnecting one speaker does not affect just one unit. It can disrupt communication across multiple units on that loop.
    • In a real fire, this could prevent life‑safety alerts from reaching part of the building.

If a contractor disconnects fire equipment and it causes an emergency response, such as engineer call‑outs, after‑hours work, overtime for staff, or system repairs, the Association will seek reimbursement from the unit owner.

We want to avoid placing any resident in that situation, so please share this reminder with your contractors before they begin work. If you have any questions before work begins in your unit, the management team is always happy to assist.

DELIVERY SCHEDULING

To ensure smooth operations, we are asking for your assistance. Please help us by scheduling your deliveries in advance with Jules, your Resident Service Coordinator (RSC), at Jorozco@actionlife.com

Recently, we have noticed that some residents are informing us of their scheduled delivery times rather than checking availability with the team first.

We appreciate your understanding and partnership in keeping the building well‑managed!

IMPORTANT NOTICE: COMMERCIAL GARAGE PARKING

Residents are reminded that parking in the commercial garage is strictly always prohibited for residents, guests, and unauthorized vendors.

Temporary parking is not permitted for any reason, including but not limited to loading or unloading vehicles, moving groceries, waiting for a guest or housekeeper to vacate a space, or stopping briefly for convenience. Unauthorized vehicles may be towed without notice at the vehicle owner’s expense.

This restriction applies to all areas within the commercial garage, including the USPS parking space, commercial building parking stalls, vendor/loading zones, handicap-accessible spaces, and all Bosa-designated parking areas.

Please be advised that Savina staff members are unable to accommodate requests for temporary parking in the commercial garage under any circumstances.

This has been an ongoing concern within the community, and your cooperation is essential to ensure safety, access, and compliance with property regulations.

Thank you for your attention to and adherence to this policy.

Please note that the Zoom access information for the Annual Meeting scheduled on January 14, 2026, at 5:00 PM has changed due to technical difficulties. The previously shared Zoom details are no longer valid.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: COMMERCIAL GARAGE PARKING

Residents are reminded that parking in the commercial garage is strictly prohibited at all times for residents, guests, and unauthorized vendors.

Temporary parking is not permitted for any reason, including but not limited to loading or unloading vehicles, moving groceries, waiting for a guest or housekeeper to vacate a space, or stopping briefly for convenience.

This restriction applies to all areas within the commercial garage, including the USPS parking space, commercial building parking stalls, vendor/loading zones, handicap-accessible spaces, and all Bosa-designated parking areas.

Please be advised that Savina staff members are unable to accommodate requests for temporary parking in the commercial garage under any circumstances.

Thank you for your attention to and adherence to this policy.

CONSTRUCTION DEFECT TESTING NOTICE (JANUARY 12TH – 16TH)

Please be advised that construction defect testing will take place from January 12–16, 2026, between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.

Testing will involve water and invasive inspections at windows, balconies, doors, and exterior building elements, and will be noisy at times.

Water testing may cause water to run down the exterior of the building, similar to a rainstorm, and could affect units below the testing areas. Residents in units facing east, west, and north are asked to keep all windows closed and remove personal items from balconies during this period to avoid potential water damage. You may also wish to close blinds or curtains for privacy.

In-unit and common area repairs related to this testing will continue through January 30, 2026.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation during this necessary investigation.

HOLIDAY DÉCOR REMINDER

We hope you enjoyed the festive season!

As a gentle reminder, winter holiday decorations need to be taken down by January 15.

Also, please remember that holiday décor or any personal items should never be placed in front of your door or in the corridors. This is especially important for safety in the event of a fire or emergency evacuation.

Thank you for helping keep our community safe and beautiful year-round!

BBQ AREA UPHOLSTERY MAINTENANCE

For planning purposes, residents should be aware that PTC will be deep cleaning the white sofa located at the entrance of the BBQ area on Monday, January 12 and Tuesday, January 13.

The sofa will be unavailable for use during this time while the cleaning is underway, but the BBQ area will remain open. Thank you!

PLANNING UPGRADES? PLEASE HOLD OFF FOR NOW

We understand homeowners often look forward to making improvements or upgrades to their units.

However, because the community is currently in the Construction Defect (CD) claim process, it may best to wait before starting any modifications inside your unit.

Until the claim is resolved and the repair scope is finalized, any changes could be affected by future work.

For example, if repairs are needed behind walls or in areas you have upgraded, those improvements might need to be removed or altered, potentially at your expense.

Pausing for now helps avoid unnecessary costs and ensures your upgrades won’t interfere with required repairs.

Please contact us if you have any questions, 619-255-1204.

GUEST AUTHORIZATION AND BUILDING ACCESS

Residents are encouraged to ensure their guest list is current and accurate. For safety and security, only guests listed on an approved guest list or pre-authorized by the resident will be granted access to residential floors.

If a guest arrives without prior authorization, the front desk will contact the resident for confirmation before allowing access.

Residents are encouraged to add regularly visiting individuals—such as housekeepers, babysitters, pet sitters, family members, and frequent guests—to their guest list, or notify the front desk in advance of their arrival.

When expecting vendors or service providers, residents must notify the front desk in advance. Please note that last-minute vendor parking requests cannot be guaranteed. Requests to use the designated vendor parking area in the commercial garage require at least 48 hours’ notice and are primarily reserved for HOA-approved vendors performing work directly in or on the Savina building, subject to availability and operational needs.

For assistance reviewing or updating your guest list, the front desk is available to help—visit in person, call (619) 255-1204, or text (619) 904-5445.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping maintain a safe and secure community for everyone.

GARAGE PARKING REMINDER – VEHICLE SIZE COMPLIANCE

To help ensure safety and accessibility in the garage, we would like to share an important parking guideline with residents.

Per Section 12.2 of the Community Rules,

“All vehicles must fit completely within the designated parking space, including the front, sides, and rear. Vehicles may not extend beyond the boundaries of the space or restrict a neighboring resident’s ability to park. Oversized vehicles that cannot fully fit within a parking space may require parking outside of the community.”

We have observed that some vehicles are currently extending past their assigned parking spaces and into the driveway areas, which creates a potential driving and safety hazard within the garage.

It is possible that some residents may not have been aware of this rule, and we are sharing this information to ensure everyone is informed. We kindly ask residents who may be affected to resolve this matter as soon as possible to help maintain a safe and accessible parking environment for all.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding!

BOOK CLUB

Are you looking for a fun and exciting group activity? Look no further!

The Book Club at Savina is the perfect fit for you. Here’s how it works: Members pick books on a rotating basis, so it’s easy to join and participate. We meet monthly, usually on the last Monday of the month at 6 PM, but we sometimes adjust the schedule for holidays.

Does this sound like something you’d enjoy? We’d love to have you join us!

Our next meeting is on Monday, January 26th, at 6 PM in the Lobby Business Center.

We’ll be discussing Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir.

Hope to see you there!

The Association’s construction experts have identified a potential issue with missing or unsupported fasteners on some balcony glass railings.

Residents are encouraged to inspect their balconies and, if any fasteners appear missing or loose, please email our Resident Services Coordinator, Jules Orozco at:

Please see the attached notice from the Association’s legal counsel for additional details.

GUEST AUTHORIZATION AND BUILDING ACCESS

As the New Year approaches, now is a great time to ensure your guest list is current and accurate.

For the safety and security of all residents, guests must be listed on your approved guest list or be previously authorized by you in order to be granted access to your unit.

If a guest arrives who is not on your guest list or has not been pre-authorized, the front desk will contact you by call and/or text to confirm approval before allowing access upstairs.

Residents are encouraged to add regularly visiting individuals—such as housekeepers, babysitters, pet sitters, family members, and frequent guests—to their guest list.

If you prefer not to do so, please be sure to notify the front desk in advance of their arrival.

Please also notify the front desk in advance when expecting vendors or service providers to arrive for scheduled work and be advised that:

  • Last-minute vendor parking requests cannot be guaranteed
  • To request use of the designated vendor parking area in the commercial garage, residents must contact the front desk a minimum of 48 hours in advance
  • The vendor parking zone is primarily reserved for HOA-approved vendors performing work directly in or on the Savina building, and approval is subject to availability and the day’s operational schedule.

If you are unsure who is currently listed on your guest list or need assistance making updates, the front desk is happy to help at any time! Stop by and ask, call us at (619) 255-1204, or text (619) 904-5445.
