Building Safety Tips:
If you experience a slow drain or backup in your sink or garbage disposal, it may indicate a blockage that requires maintenance.
Drain & Garbage Disposal Reminder
We’ve seen a few preventable clogs lately that affect everyone’s plumbing system. Following a few simple habits can save you (and the building) from costly repairs, water damage, and emergency service calls.
Here’s your easy-to-follow guide to protecting our drains and garbage disposals:
What’s Safe to Send Down the Drain
Only water, soap, human waste and toilet paper belong in any drain.
For garbage disposals: small, soft food particles only.
What Should NEVER Go Down Any Drain or Disposal
Food waste (scraped into the trash or compost first)
Grease, oils, or fats (they solidify in pipes)
“Flushable” wipes, baby wipes, or any wipes
Paper towels, napkins, or tissues
Hair, dental floss, cotton swabs, or feminine products
Coffee grounds, eggshells, bones, potato peels, or fibrous vegetables (celery, onion skins, etc.)
Chemicals, paint, or medications
How to Use Your Garbage Disposal the Right Way (Step-by-Step)
Run cold water before, during, and after using the disposal.
Turn on the disposal and slowly feed in small amounts of food at a time.
Let it run for 10–15 seconds after the food is gone.
Keep the water running for another 10–15 seconds to flush everything through the pipes.
Never turn off the water while the disposal is still running.
Pro Tips to Prevent Problems
Once a week, pour a cup of baking soda + 1 cup of white vinegar down each drain, let it fizz for 15 minutes, then flush with hot water. (This is a safe, natural way to keep lines clear.)
Install a sink strainer or catch basket to trap food particles.
Run your dishwasher regularly—standing water can cause odors and buildup.
Important Warning
Do NOT use Drano, Liquid Plumer, or any chemical drain cleaners. These products can damage pipes, create toxic fumes, and actually make clogs worse over time. If you have a slow drain, please contact a plumber.
By following these simple guidelines, you’re helping prevent leaks, backups, and water intrusion issues that can affect neighboring units and Common Areas.
Thank you for being such great stewards of our building! Your cooperation keeps Luma clean, safe, and running smoothly for everyone.

Building Safety Tips:
If you ever encounter an emergency situation, please remember to use the nearest stairwell to exit the building safely.
If You Hear The Fire Alarm
- When leaving your unit, feel the door with the back of your hand before opening it. Do not open the door if it feels hot. Close the door behind you when exiting, but do not lock it.
- Do not return to your unit for personal belongings.
- If smoke is present, stay low to the ground. The cleanest air is typically about 12 inches above the floor. Do not attempt to run through flames.
- Do not use elevators during a fire alarm. If you are already in an elevator when the alarm sounds, do not press the emergency stop button.
- Evacuation Procedures: If a fire alarm or public address (P.A.) announcement instructs evacuation, all occupants must immediately exit the building using the stairwells and proceed to the designated meeting location at the corner of Grand Avenue and 11th Street, approximately 300 feet east of the building.
Assistance During an Evacuation
If you have a temporary or permanent physical condition that may make evacuation difficult, please notify the Management Office. Provide your name and unit number, which will be shared with the Fire Department so assistance can be provided if needed.
If you have any questions about Luma’s emergency procedures or need after-hours contact information, please reach out to the Front Desk team. We are always happy to assist.

Smells in the Hallway
We kindly ask for your mindfulness when engaging in activities such as cooking aromatic foods, smoking within your unit, or using heavily fragranced items. In a high-rise community, these scents can occasionally travel beyond your unit and into the corridors. As some individuals are more sensitive to scents, we encourage everyone to be considerate, as any odors that interfere with the enjoyment of another resident’s unit may be considered a violation of Luma’s governing documents.
To minimize the impact of odors, we recommend:
- Opening your windows to ventilate and disperse any strong scents.
- Using air purifiers to improve air quality and remove contaminants.
- Checking the seal at the bottom of your door to help prevent odors from spreading into the hallways.
We are currently investigating several hallways to identify the source of the odor. If you notice the smell or observe anyone smoking in the building, please report it to the front desk immediately so the matter can be addressed promptly.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in maintaining a pleasant living environment for all.
