Dear Luma Residents,
Friendly Reminders:
Summer Season Tips to Keep Cool
With summer here and temperatures climbing, now is a great time to make sure your air conditioning system is ready to keep you comfortable throughout the season.
Here are a few helpful reminders to ensure your HVAC system operate efficiently:
- Schedule regular HVAC maintenance. Routine inspections and maintenance help ensure your system is operating properly and can reduce the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns during periods of extreme heat.
- Replace your air filter regularly. We recommend changing your HVAC air filter every three months (or more frequently if needed) to maintain optimal airflow, improve indoor air quality, and maximize your system’s efficiency.
- Don’t ignore warning signs. If you notice reduced airflow, unusual noises, or your system isn’t cooling as it should, call your service tech promptly before it becomes a larger problem.
HVAC Air Filters Available
For your convenience, Luma has replacement HVAC air filters available for purchase in a variety of sizes.
If you’re unsure which filter your unit requires or have any questions about your HVAC system, please contact the Front Desk. We will be happy to assist you or arrange for our Engineering Department to provide additional guidance.
Stay cool and have a safe, enjoyable summer!
Eleven’s Elevator Upgrade
Please be advised that Elleven began their major modernization project on its two elevators this week. The project is expected to continue through early 2027.
During this time, the Elleven side of the garage will contain construction equipment, materials, and staging areas related to the project. Residents are asked to use caution when traveling through the area and remain alert for workers, delivery vehicles, and forklifts moving materials throughout the garage.

Building Safety Tip:
Parking Space Reminder for All Residents
We’d like to remind all residents of the importance of maintaining a safe, secure, and clean parking environment. Please take a moment to review and follow the guidelines below to help keep our garage areas safe and compliant with community standards:
Keep Your Parking Space Clear
Storing personal items—such as boxes, furniture, gas cans, old paint, car parts, household goods, basically anything—in your parking space is not permitted under Luma’s governing documents. These items not only presents a safety and fire hazard but also obstruct cleaning and routine maintenance, and they are unsightly. Please remove any stored items to avoid violation notices and help us maintain a tidy, hazard-free garage.
Lock Your Vehicle
Always ensure your vehicle is locked, even if you are stepping away for just a few minutes. Crimes of opportunity can happen quickly, and an unlocked car is an easy target. Taking a moment to double-check your locks significantly reduces the risk of theft or tampering.
Remove Valuables
Do not leave valuables—such as electronics, bags, loose change, or even clothing—inside your vehicle. Even seemingly minor items can attract unwanted attention and increase the risk of break-ins. This applies whether you are parked in the garage or on the street; a clean, empty interior is one of the best deterrents.
Report Suspicious Activity
If you observe any suspicious behavior in the garage or near any of the garage gates, please report it immediately to the front desk or building staff. Your vigilance helps keep thecommunity secure and supports the safety of all residents.
Guest Vehicle Protocol
If you have a guest or family member visiting the building who requires parking, please contact the Front Desk to determine whether a space is available and to obtain a parking pass and garage access instructions.
Please do not manually press the override button at the gate, as this may allow unauthorized individuals or trespassers access to the garage.
Your cooperation makes a big difference in preserving the quality of life at Luma. Thank you for doing your part!
