Parkview at Hillcrest (2016-12-29)
Pulte will be closing a portion of Hillcrest Drive between the charter school and HC building 21 between January 2nd and 7th in order to complete our utility connections.
The attached letter is our official notice which will be sent out to the buildings within 500’ of the work per the city’s direction (numbers 16, 20, 21, and 22), but I also wanted to extend the courtesy of letting all of Hillcrest know.
Can you please send out the attached letter and MOT plan to the president’s council to be distributed to the residents? We are taking all the necessary steps to divert traffic, but I want to make sure everyone in our Hillcrest family is given the courtesy of an advanced warning.

Flooding of Condo Unit (2016-11-20)
On Nov. 15th, a hose connected to the A/C cooling water for the third floor condo's Air Conditioning system slipped off due to improper installation. A tape was used to minimize possible leaks which did the exact opposite.
The water pressure pouring out of the line at 40 psi flooded the entire unit to about 2 inches and then continued to flood down to the second and first floor units as well. The company ServPro came with three trucks to vacuum all the water up, set up fans and dehumidifiers. As much water was remove as possible. The effected units were recommended to purchase a domestic dehumidifier to continue the removal of water for the next few months to prevent any mould.
The lesson learned ... use reputable contractors and ensure your unit has content and flood insurance!
No Smoking Policy (2016-11-20)
The No-Smoking Policy has been added to the welcome menu of our website. Once signs are posted throughout the building, no smoking will be enforced.
A smoker often is unaware, but secondhand smoke seeps everywhere ... on catwalks, elevators and our condo units. It sneaks thru ventilation systems. Smoking on your balcony means smoke on every other balcony. It's an invasion of people's air space None smokers prefer to breath fresh air rather than someone else's cigarette.

Building Painting Incident
(2016-02-05)
On February 5th we woke up with a big surprise. White paint specks everywhere. On our trees and grass, on the parking lot and unfortunately on our cars.
A strong wind overnight, blew white paint specks from the temporary plastic coverings covering our railings that were in the process of being painted. The specks landed and scattered through out our propery.
The contracted painters, along with Javier, immediately tried to minimize the damage by pressure washing and scrubbing the flecks from our cars to prevent the paint specks from being baked permanently on the car's finish. The process took all day.
The contractor apologies for any inconvience and are trying their best to cleanup and correct the damage caused.

Pardon our dust ...
(2015-06-22)
Dear Building 15 Residents:
As you are I am sure aware, we have had a lot of maintenance projects going on. We have concrete work, painting, as well as a new cleaning lady named "Tracy". Until the concrete work is finished it will remain a little dusty even though they cleanup everyday when they are done. The building needs some TLC and some updating. Most of the "dirty and dusty" work should be done by August.
Thank you for all being patient and I am certain that our residents will enjoy the outcome.

AC Pump
(2015-08-14)
That mysterious red light on top of the pump infront of our building indicates that the AC Pump is operating. That pump supplies the cooling water for our air conditioning system in our individual condo units.
When that red light is not on, it means the pump is not operating and thus our AC in our units will not operate properly. In such cases it is recommended that when the red light is back on, you turn your condo AC off and then on again to reset the unit. Some of the newer AC units may do this automatically but the older ones may not.
One concern is that the snowbirds may have a mildew issue as a result when they return to Florida. In this case it would be advisable that Snowbirds arrange to have someone check their condo unit monthly to ensure everything is operating as intended.
Steve Ogle had requested earlier this week that the board post this concern on our bulletin board and website.

Website ...
(2015-06-23)
Thanks for all the positive feedback. As of this day, we have 28 Condo Units linked to the login of our website. That's nearly 44% of our home owners. I know we can do better.
The login section offers so much more.
Although some homeowners may not have internet access, talk with your neighbors that do, and if they haven't login and signed up on our website, encourage them to so and help them if they need it. The more users, the better www.hillcrest4800.com becomes.
