KITCHEN STACK WASTE JETTING – WEST BUILDING

You might ask, what is a kitchen stack cleaning? Kitchen stack cleaning involves high-pressure flushing of the cast iron waste pipes running through each unit’s kitchen. The kitchen is the area that takes the heaviest toll due to all the cooking debris.

It is recommended that high-rise buildings and condominiums clean the kitchen stacks once every other year as routine maintenance. By performing this type of maintenance ahead of time, the association saves itself tremendous amounts of money in the long run by preventing backups. This year, Pro-Tec Plumbing will be cleaning out the kitchen stacks for the association.

Work will begin on Monday May 13th – Thursday May 16th. The plumbers will need to access every single unit to monitor your kitchen sink to ensure there is not a backup. Every three floors, a kitchen stack cleanout has been placed in the kitchen. The following floors have kitchen stack cleanout access:

15

12

7

2

Every unit on these floors has either a small access hatch or a cleanout. To help us be as efficient as possible with the cleanout process, please remove any objects that may be in the way so that the plumbing crew has easy access to the cleanout. The crew will work on one stack per day. The schedule is posted below:

Monday May 13th: A & F stack

Tuesday May 14th: B, C & G stack

Wednesday May 15th: D & H stack

Thursday May 16th: E stack

We want to ensure that the association maintains the investment in the cast iron pipes, but also to keep everyone healthy and safe. We greatly appreciate all of your assistance and cooperation in this matter. 

Please email Management to let me know if you will be home or if we may use they key on file.

TRASH CHUTE & WASTE DISPOSAL

Breaking down cardboard waste is very important, please DO NOT place cardboard or Styrofoam material down the trash chute as it can clog the chute and doing so may result in extra costs to Coral Tree Plaza. Also, soiled pizza boxes must be broken down and discarded in the trash.

It is best practice to break cardboard boxes down to optimize the space in the recyclable area located in the parking garage levels P1 – P3. Also, please make sure when disposing of any material it is tightly sealed in a plastic bag to prevent loose debris from blowing around and littering CTP campus.

EMERGENCY CONTACT LIST

Residents with mobility issues, whether permanent or temporary, should send an email to Management (mcasillas@actionlife.com) for notification. This information will be placed on the Assisted Rescue List located in the Fire Control Room for the Fire Department in the event of an emergency.

If you are unsure your name is listed, please ask Management.

EMERGENCY KEY

Do you have emergency key on-file with Management?  It is very important to have an emergency key on file with the building.  During an emergency situation, Management may be required to gain access to your unit.  In the unlikely event that a key is not on file, your door may sustain damage from forced entry.   Please note that this is an Owner expense and can be very costly.  Emergency keys are not used for the purpose of letting guests or personal workers in. Owners must make separate arrangements for these situations including calling a locksmith.
