Thank you,

Dear Luma Residents,

In our combined efforts to minimize possible exposure to COVID-19 thru social distancing, we ask everyone to follow below guidelines:

• Please stay in your home, going out only if it is absolutely essential. Minimizing traffic within the elevators and lobby will reduce possible exposure at these pinch points, which ultimately benefits everyone.

• Under normal situations, Staff regularly interacts with countless residents during the course of a days’ work. This of course increases exposure to our staff and our residents. To reduce this exposure, we ask that you minimize your contact as much as possible with staff. If a task is not essential or you can accomplish it thru emails, we encourage you take these alternate routes.

• Packages are not only handled by staff but by carrier personnel and delivery people that visit countless communities within the Los Angeles area. To help minimize this exposure, we ask you keep your deliveries to just the essentials. We know with all this down time it is tempting to get caught up on your online shopping but the exposure from these packages is simply not worth obtaining that nonessential item.

• If you need to take your dog(s) for a walk, we ask you use the back-alley gate rather than the lobby. The gate is large and allows easier social distancing than the lobby. We typically do not suggest pedestrians use the alley gate, but under this unprecedented time we feel this is in the better interest of everyone. For security purposes, please report anyone that looks suspicious hanging around any of our gates.

• In the best interest of the community the Gym facility is temporarily closed until further notice. The terrace, pool and spa will remain open however the California Department of Public Health recommends that you practice social distancing when possible (6 feet of space between individuals).

• We are developing on a day-to-day basis contingency plans for various scenarios. Under the best of conditions, Luma operates a very limited staff. Just one employee missing due to an illness has a dramatic effect on the day-today operations. To have several employees under quarantine would be a severe operational challenge. To plan for this possibility, we are looking for resident volunteers that have certain skill sets unique to high-rise maintenance and care. If you are willing, have the time, and possess any of the below experience, we ask that you email Management the days and times you are available, what experiences you have and the extent of that experience, listing all your contact information. For instance – While attending college for 4 years I worked as a plumber’s assistant/journeyman handling various drain cleaning equipment and fixture repair replacement. The best number you can reach me at is ———. Management will reach out to you if more information is needed.

1. Plumbing
2. Electrician
3. Mechanical Building – Boilers, PRV, various HVAC systems, Building Control Systems, Pumps and valves of various sizes, types and functions, Fire Life Safety and pool/spa maintenance
4. Front Desk – Concierges, customer relations/services
5. Cleaning, particular training in sanitizing and PEP
6. Security
7. Management – Project Management and/or Certified Property Management

Dear Residents,

As you probably all know by now, the Governor of the State of California has issued an order that mandates all but essential services to remain at home. Please note that our services are categorized as essential and our operations will continue.

COVID-19 PROTOCOL CHANGES
Elevator Safety Etiquette – We are limiting 4 people to each elevator. Please follow Elevator Safety Etiquette and stand at opposite sides of the elevators.

FOOD DELIVERIES IN THE LOBBY
Please pick up your food deliveries at the Lobby. At this point, we are trying to minimize contact with people outside of the community. Please note, the Front Desk will not accept these food deliveries on behalf of residents. Drivers will be instructed to call you upon arrival, they can leave your food on a temporary table we’ve set up in the lobby if that’s your preference.

We are currently restricting non-essential vendors from accessing residential floors.

LOBBY FURNITURE
We have moved the furniture in the lobby to prevent residents from congregating near the front desk and near each other.

FIRE/LIFE/SAFETY TRAINING AND FIRE DRILL
These have both been cancelled until further notice.

PLUMBING STOPPAGES
Plumbers have been inundated with calls. We would like to remind you to please take care when flushing items down the toilet. Many people are using disposable disinfectant wipes on a regular basis, however, these wipes should never be flushed down the toilet, even though the label may state they are ‘flushable’. Only toilet paper should be flushed down a toilet.

VOLUNTEER ASSISTANCE
If you need any assistance with groceries or other items, we may be able to help so please contact the front desk (213) 742-0387. Some residents who are home at this time have offered to provide assistance to others if needed. If you are interested or available please contact the front desk and we will add you to the list.

EV CHARGING UPDATE
EverCharge is working hard to get this project up and running. Currently this project is in the plan check phase with the Los Angeles Department of Building Services (LADBS). Once permits are in hand, and Los Angeles Department of Water and Power gives EverCharge the green light, we should have a clearer idea how long it will take to complete this project. We will provide updates as they become available.

Thank you and stay well.
