Fourth Street Lofts Web Log

I have notified the board and Collins via e-mail about the broken garage door. In order to save the motor, I pulled the breaker on the wall near the garage door opener.

UPDATE: It's fixed!

Have a look at the leaks residents of the upscale "Terraces at EmeryStation" are dealing with! Some of these folks have real damage, and have been displaced from their homes for seven months.

The crew did not finish until after 9:00 PM last night, but the results seem to be worth the few extra hours. Our shiny new (and quiet) garage door is in! Thanks to the previous and current boards for making this happen.

I have been working on a "Welcome to the Lofts" package for newcomers and long-time residents alike. I plan to add more photos and more links over time. Any help with this on-going project would be greatly appreciated. Specifically, I could use more info on local merchants and restaurants. (addresses, web links, reviews, etc.)

A permanent link to this Welcome Page is on the right - under "New to the 'Hood?". Please have a look at the page and offer feedback!

Trees can't be put in the Trash Compactor. Nor should they be dragged through the building and dumped on the street!

It's up to each homeowner to personally dispose of their Christmas tree. Please - take it to the dump! The closest dump is in San Leandro is at 2615 Davis Street. Visit their web site or call them at 510-563-4212. Evidently, they will take/recycle your tree for FREE.

We live in a commercial/retail neighborhood, not residential, so there is no city pickup in the Jack London Waterfront Warehouse District. Trees dumped like this one will NOT be picked up.

Dear FSL Residents,

I was horrified to find out after being gone on vacation for 2 weeks that the injection ports installed by Rainbow Waterproofing are still in front of the stairwell door to the parking garage. We have asked for their immediate removal, so it shouldn't be long.

Thanks for your patience.

Chase Milbrandt
President
