Community Updates for 7/31/2026
Dear Luma Residents,
Friendly Reminders:
Protect Yourself with the Right Insurance Coverage
Owning a condominium means protecting not only your home and belongings but also yourself from unexpected liability. While the Association maintains a master insurance policy for the building, each homeowner is responsible for carrying their own condominium (HO-6) insurance policy, as required by the CC&Rs.
Homeowners should ensure their policy includes:
Coverage for personal property and any upgrades or improvements made to the unit.
Personal liability coverage.
Loss assessment coverage, which can help pay the Association’s water damage deductible if a leak or overflow originates from your unit.
Additional living expense coverage if your unit becomes temporarily uninhabitable.
Many water losses can also be prevented through routine maintenance. Inspect and replace washing machine and refrigerator supply hoses as needed, avoid flushing or washing items that can clog drains, inspect caulking around tubs and showers, and consider shutting off your water supply if you will be away for an extended period. Homeowners are responsible for damage originating from their units, making preventative maintenance especially important.
If you have questions about your personal insurance coverage, we encourage you to contact your insurance agent to ensure your policy provides adequate protection for your home and your financial interests.
Package & Perishable Delivery Reminder
To help keep our package room organized and ensure space for incoming deliveries, please pick up your packages as soon as possible after receiving your delivery notification.
Due to limited storage space, we are unable to hold packages for extended periods. If you will be away, please email Management with temporary access instructions, and we can place your packages inside your unit.
If you receive a perishable delivery, we kindly ask that you retrieve it promptly. Refrigerator space is limited, and timely pickup helps ensure adequate storage for all residents.
Thank you for your cooperation in helping us keep the package room organized and efficient for everyone.

Building Safety Tip:
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 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.
