Presently Underway and On Schedule

5 Floors Per Day

As we typically do this time of year, our team put together a schedule to conduct HVAC Filter Maintenance and Life Safety Inspections in each unit from the 55^th floor down.

The efficiency of your air conditioning can depend a great deal on the regular maintenance of your filters. (Though we do this work once a year, owners are welcome to consider doing it more often to improve comfort, air quality and energy efficiency. You can contact the office anytime to have this done as a work order.) To compliment the process, for improved maintenance and safety, and in order to remain in compliance with the City of Chicago Life Safety Ordinance, our employees also inspect entry door closers, vents and smoke detectors. At the request of the Board our team will also check faucets for any obvious dripping or leaking.

This is expected to begin the week of Monday July 23^rd, and progress downward from the 55^th floor to the 3^rd floor at a pace of 5 floors per day. Here are the details:

• Our team will be on a tight schedule of five floors per day starting Monday July 23rd. If you need to reschedule, we will try to accommodate you on a first come first serve basis. We do offer a make-up week, Monday August 6^th through Friday August 10^th. Please contact the office if you need to consider a make-up date.
• The life safety inspection is mandatory, and critically important not only for your safety, but for your neighbors and the building. This includes all “No Admit” units. We would like to make the process as convenient as possible. If you want to be home and the date listed does not work for you, you can schedule an appointment with us during the make-up week.
• While Maintenance is visiting, they will also inspect for health and safety issues. This includes checking the unit’s smoke detectors, exhaust fans, entry door closers, and leaking faucets and drains. If your unit requires maintenance of such items, we will contact you.
• On the date of our visit, please make arrangements to have all items moved away from the air conditioning/heating unit prior to your date. For everyone’s protection, employees cannot be responsible for moving furniture or handling any personal belongings. If Maintenance is unable to access the filter area, we will need to reschedule with you.
• For your safety and security, maintenance will lock all locks when they are finished. To avoid being locked out, if you do not plan to be home on the day of our visit please make sure you have the keys to all of the locks to your door before leaving your apartment.

If you have questions or are unable to have your filters changed on your scheduled date, please contact us to reschedule – 773-769-3250, or e-mail at parktowercondo@draperandkramer.com.
