Important Fire Safety Notice to Residents

The fire alarm system for the entire building must be inspected as the alarm panel is notifying the Fire Department that there are detector/annunciator modifications in multiple units in the building. The system cannot tell us which specific units the problems are in.

If at any time the smoke detectors or the white plastic wall annunciators have been disconnected (Changing Batteries Excluded), removed, replaced, relocated, covered or modified in any way please contact Selma at LB immediately by phone at 818-981-1802 X244.

Glendale Fire Systems will be here at MSL on Thursday, September 27th from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. testing the system, inspecting and repairing units. If you cannot be available to allow access to your unit you must contact Selma to make arrangements otherwise we will gain access with a locksmith to inspect and repair your fire alarm system as needed.

We will start inspections with units who have contacted us about modifications and hope this will resolve the problem. If this doesn’t correct the issue we will be required to inspect and test every unit’s fire safety system to remedy this extremely important safety issue.

We are faced with the most serious safety concern our building can have and the consequences of not fixing this problem immediately will result in the Fire Department shutting off the entire alarm system, placing a fire truck and crew on standby outside our building and charging the building thousands per day until the issues are fixed.

Amnesty will be given to owners & residents who contact us before the inspection of their units. If owners & residents do not contact us regarding this issue and it is discovered they are responsible for this issue fines and all associated costs will applied to their unit’s HOA ledger.

We recognize that this is an extremely short notice but the seriousness of the problem, possible dangers and Fire Department fines require immediate cooperation and compliance from all owners and residents.

Thank You

Park Fifth a New Downtown Oasis?

As many of you know, I am a very loyal Arts District resident, but recently I was shown the plans for a NEW amazing “Oasis” in downtown - its called Park Fifth. Of course Los Angeles is revered as the ultimate in urban culture. After all our City of Angels has many things t be proud of historically, including Olvera Street, Our Lady of Angels, City Hall, Dodger Stadium, MOCA, Ahmanson Theatre, Disney Theatre and MANY more.

Living in Park Fifth - Downtown Los Angeles can be a lifestyle as rich as anyone’s imagination.

According to plan: Park Fifth is a double tower luxury residential complex overlooking cityscape in Los Angeles. Park Fifth “would be at least 70 stories, and possibly 76 floors, perhaps making it taller than Downtown’s 72-story Library Tower - currently the tallest building west of the Mississippi,” says developer David Houk. Park Fifth second tower will be shorter, both connected by a residential bridge. The Park Fifth will have all amenities including five-star hotel, pool and spa and much more.
