NO SMOKING as per the Alberta Tobacco Reduction Act – 2007
(this includes ALL common areas in the building)

Patio hours are 08:00-23:00. Use of the patio outside of these hours
is prohibited.

Please do not transport food or beverages to/from the patio in open glasses or containers.

Please clean up after yourself and your guests; this includes any spilt drinks or food. DO NOT use the planters or rain barrel as a place to put your garbage. Take it with you!

Please put all patio furniture back in place before you leave.

Please be respectful of your neighbours; no loud music or other disturbing noises.

Walking outside of the designated patio area without permission of the Board is strictly prohibited.

You are responsible for the behaviour of all your guests on the patio and in any common area. Please be respectful of other residents in the building who may want to use the patio at the same time.

Please use caution if using any portable grill or BBQ.

The patio along with other common areas in the building must not be used for commercial purposes without prior permission from the Board.

Animals are prohibited on the rooftop patio.

Failure to comply with the above is in violation of Section 36 of the current condominium bylaws and will result in sanctions being charged against the offending unit.

Section 36 of the current bylaws state a resident shall not...

36(2a). use or enjoy the property of the Corporation or the common property in such a manner as to unreasonably interfere with its use and enjoyment by other Owners or the occupants;

36(2e). do anything in respect of his unit, the real or personal property of the Corporation or the common property or bring or keep anything on it that will in any way increase the risk of fire or result in an increase of any insurance premiums payable by the Corporation.

Thanks everyone for your understanding and cooperation!



06/22 - On behalf of the Phillips Lofts Condo Corporation, the Board support the Downtown City Plan.



06/01 - The 2008 09 AGM minutes are now available.



05/31 - It is sad that we again have to post a notice such as this. With the nice weather we have seen an increase in the number of residents using the rooftop patio. Unfortunately, we have had several incidents where the patio and common areas have been left in unacceptable condition to the point where your corporation has had to pay to steam clean the carpet on the 5th floor (spilled beverages), in addition to the patio and lobby. There has also been evidence of unacceptable behavior such as smoking and running around on the rooftop outside of the patio area. We have already issued one fine where the board was made aware of who was responsible, but this behavior has unfortunately continued.

Smoking in common areas, including the patio is against Corporation Bylaws, and it is extremely dangerous! Think about how many condo fires have started from people throwing their butts in planters.

Section 36 of the current bylaws state a resident shall not...

(a) use or enjoy the property of the Corporation or the common property in such a manner as to unreasonably interfere with its use and enjoyment by other Owners or the occupants;
(e) do anything in respect of his unit, the real or personal property of the Corporation or the common property or bring or keep anything on it that will in any way increase the risk of fire or result in an increase of any insurance premiums payable by the Corporation.

Walking around on the rooftop outside the patio area also increases the risk of damage to the roof and/or mechanical equipment.

If you know of the resident or residents responsible for this, please let our Management company know by emailing our property manager.



05/05 - The 2009 Reserve Fund Study is now available.



04/12 - The 2008/09 Treasurer's Report is now available.

4/09 - It is sad that we again have to post a notice such as this, because the majority of residents are responsible pet owners. Unfortunately, it appears that a Phillips Lofts resident(s) have been letting their dog or dogs use the outdoor parking lot and city sidewalk (in front of Phillips Lofts) for his/her dog's urination and defecation purposes. On top of being just plain disgusting and disrespectful, it is actually illegal under City of Edmonton Bylaw #12393 and can result in a $100 fine. In addition, your Corporation may also issue a fine to the suite of the owner under the Condominium Corporation Bylaws. If you know of the resident or residents responsible for this, please let the Board know by emailing the Board.



04/04 - Our updated bylaws are ready for your review. Please review these prior to our AGM, which is now scheduled for May 5th. There is also a letter from the President regarding these bylaws and the resolution form to pass them.



03/21 - The 2008/09 President's Report is now available.



02/28 - From a security and visitor parking perspective, your Board wanted to highlight the major contractors for our building.

- Alberta Security Gate Systems - parking lot and parkade gates (Paul)
- Concord Elevators - handicap elevator
- Habby Property Maintenance - general maintenance (Habby)
- MMCI Safety Systems - security and fire systems
- Noralta Lock & Key - locksmith (Murray)
- Omni Facilities Services - cleaning (Sherif)
- Otis Elevators - main and semi-private elevators
- T&P Mechanical - plumbing and mechanical equipment

Your Board has gone to great lengths to find these quality contractors, whom we want to build a long-term relationship with. A number of these contractors have dealt with our building for a number of years.



02/25 - Recently it has come to your Board's attention that residents of Phillips Lofts have been leaving large furniture items such as mattresses, Christmas trees, office chairs, and computer equipment in the back dumpster.
 
This sort of dumping is illegal and will not be tolerated. The city of Edmonton does not pick up those items from our bin. It is the RESIDENTS' RESPONSIBILITY to dispose of all over-sized/non-recyclable items in the correct manner. Failure to do so can result in fines or loss of use of certain bins for the entire building.

Please remove your items ASAP or your condo corporation will be forced to pay an independent company to remove these, resulting in an additional expense to the entire building.

Leaving over-sized/non-recyclable/combustible items outside encourages criminal activity, vandalism, squatting, and arson. In addition it makes our wonderful property unsightly and uninviting.

Most over-sized, non-recyclable and/or combustible items may be brought to any Edmonton Area Eco-Station for a minimal charge:

Eco Station Locations:
- Strathcona: 5150-99 Street - Enter on 99 Street only
- Coronation: 11440-143 Street
- Ambleside: 14710 Ellerslie Road SW (now open)

If you do see someone illegally dumping items, please report it to our property manager, Corina MacKinnon.



02/18 - Minutes are available for the February 3rd Board meeting.



02/12 - We are experiencing problems with our intercom/entry system. Some entries have been lost completely, while others simply don’t work. Our contractor suspects that the motherboard will need to be replaced due to exposure to extreme temperatures over the last 8 years. The Condo Board is working on getting this fixed as soon as possible. We will keep you posted as to when this issue will be resolved. In the meantime, the Condo Board apologizes for any inconvenience this may have or will cause.



02/10 - The 2008/09 AGM is tentatively scheduled for April. We are waiting for a finalized version of the Corporation's proposed bylaws before setting a date.



02/10 - Minutes are available for the January 11th Board meeting.



02/10 - The 2008/09 Financial Statements are now available.
