Uploaded more documents
In keeping with the goals of this website, I have uploaded some more documents so that they’re easily available for all Owners and residents. Unfortunately, because they’re all scans, they are not searchable because they are essentially images, not text documents.

Possible power surges during construction
I contacted John Williamson with respect to his caution about possible power surges during construction. He clarified that the possibility of a power surge in a suite would only be present during work on that suite’s balcony or deck. This is not something that is a possibility building-wide for the duration of the construction. He […]
