This week, our Fire Life Safety vendor, Convergint, conducted our Semi-Annual building inspection. I’m happy to report that the technician confirmed all systems are running efficiently and as expected, ensuring the safety and well-being of our community.
Additionally, our Director of Engineering and Director of Hospitality within Action Property Management performed a couple of inspections. The Engineering inspection covered every aspect of the building’s mechanics, ensuring proper maintenance. Simultaneously, the Hospitality inspection focused on the aesthetic elements, cleanliness, and overall upkeep of our community.
We eagerly await the results, which contribute to our current five-star luxury building rating. Rest assured, we are committed to maintaining a high standard.
Safety Reminder:
We would like to bring to your attention a couple of important items regarding safety within the garage area.
Dismounting from Personal Transportation Devices:
For everyone’s safety, we kindly request that you dismount from bicycles, electric bicycles, scooters, skateboards, etc., when in the garage area.
Using such modes of transportation within the garage can pose a safety risk to yourself and others. Your cooperation in sharing this request with your household members and guests is greatly appreciated.
Charging of E-Bikes/Scooters in the Bike Room:
After consulting with the San Francisco Fire Department, we have decided to disallow the charging of e-bikes/scooters overnight in the bike room.
This preventive measure aims to enhance the safety of the building. If you charge any device in the bike room, please ensure not to leave it unattended or plugged in overnight.
Fob Battery Status Indicator:
If you notice a brief “yellow” light when using your fob at your front door, it indicates that the fob battery is low and needs to be replaced.
Please reach out to a member of our team as soon as possible when you observe the yellow light.
Failure to replace the battery promptly may lead to entry issues.
Your prompt attention to this matter will ensure the continued effectiveness of the fob entry system. If you have any questions or require assistance with battery replacement, do not hesitate to contact the front desk.

We are nearing the cut-off for you to submit your ballot for the upcoming CC&R Amendment vote. If you have not yet submitted your ballot, kindly follow these instructions at your earliest convenience:

We appreciate everyone’s hospitality, patience, and understanding this week as we conducted the annual testing and inspection of the fire life safety systems. The in-unit, common area, and evacuation matrix testing went very well and was executed swiftly. We understand the alarm was inconvenient and truly appreciate your patience through the in-unit portion. We always welcome any feedback from Residents on this yearly process so please do not hesitate to reach out to me to discuss.
It is that time again as we enter budget season at The Pacific, analyzing income and expenses over the last fiscal year, and focusing on maintaining and enhancing our luxury community.
We continue to research appropriate vendors and partnerships to maintain our community while investigating any cost savings opportunities. We continually learn extensively about our community’s needs, wants, and must-haves. This experience and historical records will provide the Board of Directors with an opportunity to tailor a specialized budget forecast for 2024. If you have any questions regarding the budget process, please reach out to me at your convenience.
We also recently conducted a complete refresh of the Yoga Terrace, this space is now available for your use. Please be mindful when enjoying the Yoga Terrace to ensure you close the patio door when finished. Doing so will allow us to eliminate an influx of unwanted pests as a result of the facility door remaining open.
Recently the Board of Directors approved for United Mechanical to repair and replace a mechanism called a flow switch on Boiler #1. The team arrived on-site today to make the necessary repairs to ensure both boilers are running efficiently. We appreciate our Building Engineering Anthony Milner who worked alongside our vendor today to bring this project to completion.
If you have any questions, concerns or comments do not hesitate to contact me directly.
