New Window Warranty Issue

Dear Owners, Residents and Tenants:

If you re-installed your blinds on your own or used a contractor that was not approved by the Strata Corporation, the window warranty may be voided and any costs associated with repair or replacement will be charged to the owner of the unit.

Referring to the photo, boring holes in the fiberglass window frame is discouraged. The one circled in red actually penetrates the glazing leg of the window and may have broken the inner pane of glass. Cascadia Windows and Doors published guidelines / project specific shop drawings that were provided to the approved blind installers.

If you are uncertain whether your blind installation was done correctly, please contact Cam Carruthers (cam.carruthers@fsresidential.com) and an inspection (at owners expense) will be scheduled.

Your anticipated cooperation is appreciated

Dear Owners and Residents:

Please be advised that between May 17th and May 24th, there will be a generator on the roof of the pool area and level 4 on Homer St. and Drake St. to assist with cutting the beams supporting the scaffolding. These beams need to be removed so the remaining scaffolding can be dismantled.

Your anticipated cooperation is appreciated.

BUILDING ENVELOPE RESTORATION -WINDOW BLIND INSTALLATION UPDATE

Dear owners:

JJK Developments Inc. is the contractor who has been responsible for the finishing around our new windows during the remediation project. JJK was also one of three PP2 approved contractors for blind installation. We have been advised that JJK will have completed their contract by Tuesday, February 15, 2022.

That will leave only two approved contractors for blind installation:

• Cityscape Maintenance Services, contact Tony Dohaniuk, (778) 385- 1976
• Shine-A-Blind, contact Peter at peter_shineablind@telus.net, (604) 455-9974

Residents who choose to hire a contractor other than the two above to install window coverings must submit a request for permission to Bryan Chen, PP2’s Property Manager, at Bryan.Chen@fsresidential.com. Approval by your Residential Committee will be contingent upon the owner agreeing to sign an indemnity agreement (holding the Strata harmless in the event of damage to the building) and to a post-installation inspection.

Approval to hire an unauthorised contractor is required to ensure that the rainscreen membrane in the header of some of the windows is not punctured, and the window warranty is not voided, by improper installation.

Please email Bryan Chen at Bryan.Chen@fsresidential.com if you have any questions or concerns.

We thank you for your cooperation.
