REMINDER August 19th

Replacement of the hot water riser serving the ’04/’05 unit Kitchens from the 3rd to 29th floors has been scheduled to begin Monday September 19th.

To initiate this process, inspections of these units by the Association’s plumber are expected to take place as scheduled on Tuesday and Wednesday August 23rd and 24th from 9AM to 3PM. Our plumber plans to take about 10 to 15 minutes or less per unit. He will start on the 29th floor around 9am on the 23rd and work downward through the 16th floor, ending by 3pm. Then on the 24th he will continue beginning on the 15th floor and working down to the 3rd. 

Once the inspections are completed, the plumber and management will put together individualized letters for each Unit Owner and resident, explaining what to expect and anything to be aware of as a result of the inspection. The letters should be distributed the week of August 29th. Our team will then hold an informational Town Hall Meeting on Thursday September 8th, at 6PM in the 2nd Floor Party Room. At the meeting we will describe the history and purpose of the project, and provide more specific details for residents, including an opportunity to ask questions and address any concerns you have.

ORIGINAL POST August 5th

Low Zone 04/05 Unit Kitchen Riser Replacement Scheduled

Notices Have Been Distributed To The Owners And Residents Of the ’04 And ’05 Units From The 3rd To 29th Floors

All residents of these floors however should be aware work is planned and will be staged in these hallways from September 19th through the first couple weeks of November.

Replacement of the hot water riser serving the ’04/’05 unit Kitchens from the 3rd to 29th floors has been scheduled to begin Monday September 19th. To initiate this process, inspections of these units by the Association’s plumber are scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday August 23rd and 24th from 9AM to 3PM. Our plumber expects to take about 10 to 15 minutes or less per unit. He will start on the 29th floor around 9am on the 23rd and work downward through the 16th floor, ending by 3pm. Then on the 24th he will continue beginning on the 15th floor and working down to the 3rd. 

These inspections are vital to lay the groundwork for the project to begin in September. The plumber will assess the condition of pipes, fixtures and surroundings to help plan needs for each unit individually. Then, letters will go to each Owner and resident to help prepare you and set expectations. We will then hold an informational Town Hall Meeting on Thursday September 8th, at 6PM in the 2nd Floor Party Room. At the meeting we will describe the history and purpose of the project, and provide more specific details for residents, including an opportunity to ask questions and address any concerns you have.

Riser replacements are among the most challenging and invasive projects needed in a building such as Park Tower. Belongings will need to be removed from the impacted locations, and each business day the water will be off from 9AM to as late as 5PM while the risers are being replaced. Thankfully, to date we have replaced 23 of these risers throughout the building, so once we have completed the inspections, we can reasonably set your expectations and answer questions.

Work will generate some dust, be noisy at times, and there will be times you may not have use of your kitchen sink and faucet and the cabinets in that vicinity. However, if you are prepared, know what to expect, and work in tandem with us, we are confident the project can be a success.

For your convenience, we are providing the updated preliminary calendar. This may be updated after we analyze the inspection results. We also have the more detailed project calendar drafted and enclosed. This too may change after the inspections, but will be finalized prior to the Town Hall Meeting on September 8th.

We thank you in advance for your cooperation, patience and understanding as we plan to make these improvements. If you have any questions, please e-mail us, parktowercondo-mgmt@habitat.com.
