PLB Management / PLBRAMeeting Notes
• Elevator Problems
PLB Management has hired an Elevator Consultant to evaluate both thepresent operability of all tower elevators and the quality of the contractmaintenance service they are presently receiving. PLB Management has asked for resident assistance in two areas with regard to maintenance of elevator service:
a. Residents should report “Changes in Elevator Conditions” to PLB Management.
Emergency – Patrol (323) 549-5508
Routine – Service (323) 549-5599 E-mail: [email protected]
b. Tower Basement Doors must be kept closed at all times. Strong wind can effect proper elevator operations.
• Smoke Free Housing
PLB Management would like to explore the possibility of creating Smoke Free Housing Areas within Park La Brea. PLBRA will assist PLB Management in conducting a resident smoking survey in the near future as a first step in this process.
• Lack of Responsiveness at the Patrol Office
PLB Management reports that a more sophisticated Telephone System can be installed at the Patrol Office to minimize this problem. The PLB IT Department is presently working on this project.
• ABLE Building Maintenance
PLB Management reports that all Service Technicians will have the required skills necessary to perform their assigned duties. Furthermore, service personnel will have necessary tools and common repair parts in their possession upon their first visit to a residents unit. The goal will be “One Time Service” per work order.
