Update - Island Dunes Oceanside I-- Friday, Oct. 01

More progress -- Elevators, A/C, and water are all working. A unit-by-unit inspection is taking place to determine if there is any damage. As of Friday, all units on levels 14 through 9 have been completed. The rest should be done today. Owners will be contacted if there is any damage noted in their units. If you don't get contacted, that's a good thing!

The storage areas need to be completely emptied due to the water damage there. Every owner needs to make arrangements to empty their storage locker -- either personally or through a third party. Gerry Long has sent out a letter to all owners regarding this matter, a part of which I've pasted below.

Please note: Barbara has a master email list of Oceanside I residents. If you have not gotten any emails from her, it means you are not on the list. To get on the list, email her at islanddunes1@adelphia.net and give her your name and unit number.

The following update is from Barbara:

Hi,
We now have electric, water, AC, and the elevators are working (AMEN). Attached is a copy of a letter written by Gerry Long that went out to all owners today.

We are temporarily set up in unit 206 as unit 103 had sand come into their unit. Thanks to both the Ripper's and the Monin's for letting us use their unit for the office. That was so thoughtful of both couples to do that. These are convenient units as they are on the lower floors.

Take care!

Barb

Part of Gerry Long's letter:

One common problem that requires your immediate attention is the storage cages on the ground floor. The contents were damaged by water and mud. The FEMA adjuster said they would have to be removed and redone.

For safety and health reasons we must take action on getting rid of the material in the storage area. Some owners have been notified that their property was so badly effected it had to be scrapped as the sand and mud was removed. The rest of you must take action to remove your property prior to October 11, 2004 or it will be scrapped as it poses a health threat from mold formation and severely limits our ability to restore the building. Your loss should be covered by your personal insurance so you will want to file a claim as soon as possible.
