PARKING AND PARKADE USAGE CLARIFICATION
We’re here to clear up any confusion you might have about parking and using the Parkade app for renting out parking spaces.
If you spot an unauthorized car parked in your spot and want it towed by Western Towing, just give the front desk a call. We’ll double-check the space number, snap a picture of the car, and make sure it doesn’t belong to you before reaching out to the towing company.
Now, if you’re renting out your space through the Parkade app and a renter stays longer than they’re supposed to, the best thing to do is give them a friendly nudge through the app before involving the front desk. The Parkade app suggests trying to resolve any issues with the renter directly to avoid any misunderstandings or towing situations.
Our goal is to keep towing to a minimum and avoid any unnecessary hassle.
The front desk is fully aware of these procedures. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to management directly.
And if you need to contact Western Towing, their number is (619) 297-8697.
LOBBY WOOD REPAIRS – June 19 & 20, 2025
Please be advised that IRX will be on-site performing wood repairs in the lobby on the following dates:
- Wednesday, June 19, 2025
- Thursday, June 20, 2025
Work will begin at 10:00 PM on both nights.
During the repair process, some of the materials used may produce a strong odor.
While we will make every effort to minimize the smell, we appreciate your understanding and patience as we complete these necessary improvements.
MAINTENACE REMINDER: EXERCISE ANGLE STOPS AND WATER VALVES
To help prevent corrosion and calcium buildup, it’s important to regularly exercise (open and close) the angle stops and hot/cold water valves under your sink and behind the toilets.
Over time, these valves can seize due to miner deposits, making emergency shut off impossible and leaning to costly repairs.
What to do:
- Turn each valve fully on and off a couple times
- Do this every 3-6 month to keep them in working condition
Thank you for helping maintain the plumbing system and avoid unnecessary damage

RETRIVING PACAKGES
To ensure the stock room operates efficiently, it is essential that all packages are picked up from the package room promptly.
Timely retrieval of deliveries helps prevent clutter and congestion, making it easier for staff to organize and access inventory as needed.
With so many packages arriving, your help would be invaluable and appreciated!
GARAGE SPEED REMINDER
To maintain a safe environment for all residents and visitors, all drivers must operate their vehicles at a safe and controlled speed within the parking garage.
Per the Savina Residential Handbook (12.4 Speed and Lights):
The maximum speed limit is 5 miles per hour, and all drivers are required to observe this limit at all times.
Blind spots may be present, so it is recommended that headlights be turned on while driving in the garage to enhance visibility.
These guidelines are in place to protect the community and ensure smooth traffic flow throughout the garage. As a community, we sincerely value your cooperation and the respect you show to your fellow residents by following these guidelines.
PARKING REMINDER – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
Please do not park in another resident’s designated parking space without their permission.
Even if a space appears empty, it is reserved for the assigned resident who may return at any time. Unauthorized parking causes unnecessary frustration, inconvenience, and delays.
Per the Savina Residential Handbook (Section 12.12):
“Any vehicles parked in Parking Spaces assigned to other Residents… may be towed away at the vehicle owner’s expense.”
Residents have the right to report unauthorized vehicles in their spaces. Towed vehicles may result in additional fees and penalties, which are the full responsibility of the vehicle owner.
As a community, we appreciate your cooperation and respect for your neighbors.
INTRODUCING OUR NEW RESIDENT SERVICE COORDNATOR
We’re excited to introduce, Jules Orozco as your new Resident Service Coordinator!
Jules will be stepping into the role to support our community.
Going forward, please reach out to Jules for all business center and social lounge reservations, as well as any questions or needs related to resident services.
You can contact her at: Jorozco@actionlife.com
WALK-IN SHOWER MAINTENANCE REMINDER
If your unit has a walk-in shower, please take a moment to check a couple of important items regularly to help prevent leaks and potential water damage:
- Hair Catcher:
Be sure to clean the hair catcher frequently — especially if you shed more hair than usual. A clogged drain can cause water to pool and potentially overflow, leading to damage to your flooring, baseboards, or even the unit below. - Shower Door Sweeper (Bottom Seal):
The plastic strip at the bottom of your shower door is designed to prevent water from escaping underneath. Over time, this strip can wear out, become loose, and allow water to leak. Please inspect it occasionally and replace it as needed. Routine maintenance of these items helps protect your home and your neighbors from avoidable water issues.

A MESSAGE FROM YOUR RESIDENT SERVICES COORDINATOR
After two rewarding years at Savina, I’m excited to share that I’ve been given the
opportunity to take on a new role within Action Property Management and will be
transitioning to a different building. My last day at Savina will be May 24, 2025.
It has truly been a pleasure serving the residents here. I have appreciated your kindness,
support, and sense of community that makes Savina so special. While I will miss seeing
many familiar faces every day, I am excited for this new chapter and staying connected.
Wishing you all the very best! ~Lena
PARKADE UPDATE REMINDER
To ensure accurate data on Parkade, the ability to create parking spots yourself has
been removed. Instead, Management has verified all parking assignments/deeds,
eliminating duplicates and incorrect assignments.
Moving forward, spot assignments will need to be initially confirmed by
Management before anyone can start subleasing a parking spot. The data provided
by Management — including resident and parking spot assignments — will be
uploaded soon. Parking spots have been assigned according to the associations
policy, either to unit owners only or directly to tenants.
We apologize in advance for any issues or discrepancies during the process. Once
the data is uploaded, open the Parkade app, check your assigned spot and confirm it
is correct. If you believe your assignment is incorrect or don’t see a spot when you
should have one, please contact Armando at aherrera@actionlife.com. In some
cases, since spots can only be assigned to one account, your spot may have been
assigned to another person in your unit. Please double-check before reaching out.
MEMBERSHIP MEETING
This month’s meeting was rescheduled for Tuesday, May 20, 2025. The meeting will
open to owners at 6pm in the Social Lounge or via Zoom.
WINDOW WASHING SCHEDULE

SHOWER CARTRIDGE MISTAKE
We’d like to clarify a recent update regarding the Grohe shower cartridge (part
number GR-47-860-000). We had previously shared that this part was being
discontinued. After speaking directly with Grohe, we’ve confirmed that the cartridge
itself is not being discontinued.
It appears our preferred vendor may have been referring to the trim kits—the external
hardware—some of which are being phased out, not the actual cartridge. We apologize
for the confusion and appreciate your understanding.
If you’ve already purchased a cartridge based on the earlier information and can return
it, we recommend doing so—unless you plan to have it replaced in the near future.
As always, feel free to reach out with any questions.
ONGOING BUILDING MAINTENANCE
• Glass door repair yoga terrace/pool area
• Waiting for part to repair right-side heater in dry sauna (left side is operational
and sauna is open for use. May take longer to reach desired temp due to only
one heater functioning)
COMPLETED BUILDING MAINTENANCE
• Power washing front and rear entrances
BUILDING REMINDERS
Parking Spaces: Park only in your assigned spot and ensure your guests are aware of
visitor parking guidelines.
Trash & Recycling
• Be sure to break down boxes and dispose of trash in the proper bins.
• Recyclables go in the blue bins—please no plastic bags, food waste, or
Styrofoam.
• The trash chute is cleaned every Thursday some time between 11am-1pm. If
you find your trash chute is locked during this time please try again after 1pm

STAMP OUT HUNGER FOOD DRIVE
If you picked up a Food Drive Bag from the Front Desk, please bring it down by
12pm on Saturday, May 10 for USPS to pick up.
QUICK TIPS FOR CONDO LIVING
1. Clean Your Bathroom Fan Vents
Dust buildup in your bathroom fan reduces airflow and can lead to moisture problems. A
simple wipe or vacuum every few months helps prevent mildew and keeps air moving.
2. Vacuum Behind the Washer and Dryer
Lint and dust can pile up behind your laundry appliances—posing a fire risk and
reducing efficiency. A quick vacuum twice a year can make a big difference.
3. Check for Signs of Mold Around Windows
Moisture or condensation on window frames can cause mold if left unchecked. Wipe
down window edges regularly and look out for any dark or musty spots.
4. Test Your Garbage Disposal
Run it with cold water and a few ice cubes or citrus peels to keep blades sharp and odors
away. If it hums but doesn’t spin, it may be jammed—don’t force it!
MOVES AND DELIVERIES
All moves and deliveries must be scheduled through Management.
A delivery is classified as any oversized item that does not fit on a bell cart and/or is over
70lbs and is being delivered directly to your unit by the company. A move is classified as
more than 5 items being removed or delivered to the unit.
Email Armando aherrera@actionlife.com to schedule.
