Progess Update 29/May/2009

Dear All Resident,
time for our update progress again, yesterday night supposed to have a meeting with the resident manager & consulting firm but to our disappointment both representative fail to turn up and inform everyone last minute where else the meeting been set since week ago,very unprofessional behavior.Anyway forget about my rant let go through so progress update for everyone.

1. security clocking will be install by this end of this week, so hopefully now we can see guard doing what their supposed to do.
2. after a long hour of discussion wit the security company it seem their behavior is still the same, according to our pak Sahak his observation on those guard rating is still below average, however we are paying them at 4.50 per hour where else Armanee is rm 6 per hour, for time being let monitor again since the information is less then a month.
3. intercom supplier have been provided by the JMC member for the RM to get quotation and check the problem but somehow the action have been slow and pending consultant to come over to check the machine problem. No idea when it going to come over to check the system no rm to feedback to us maybe if any expertise out there can help us in this ?
4. All access card door have been fix, well after chasing for so long finally it been fix, where else if got people doing their audit job and monitoring those thing will not be spoil and left it undone for so long, hopefully this thing will be maintainable as their charges for one time service is rm 1.7k not cheap consider the amount of frequency the thing spoil, hope resident will not spoil this or try to steal the machine back to their own house (this do happen b4, maybe there are some sick physcho in here)
5. MPPJ don't have our building plan, so now we cannot decide on how is the common area and how is the electricity been use, already contacted Daniel Keat (MK Land) will come back to us in two week times (let see)
6. AUDIT Account requested by the MK to submit the audited account by 29/May so those with accounting or audit expert or what ever expert please be ready and help to see if and issue on the account
   
7. Good news to all the errant defaulter whom still own the maintenance, sinking fund money, by this week we should have a complete list of debtor from YBR converted into excel, now there given all data in PDF therefore take times to sorted out all the data (have to copy and paste one by one to our own record, damn those people try to make our work difficult only), Anyway subsequent action will those amount outstanding will be posted in notice board if by seven days no changes been make, based on the amount the JMB will issue letter of demand to all this people no more mr nice guys, bare in mind those errant owner will need to bare all the legal charges
   
8. Swimming pool light and the water cascade will get the quotation by next week and proceed with the repair, as JMC first month is to repair all those broken item in common area so fast still alot of thing to do, if anyway have idea, contact or what ever information which will help the JMC run better just drop by to the weekly meeting
   
9. landscaping & housekeeping will have a review with both contractor as their current service is below average, ya we pay below average but still there need to maintain the standard.. those flower and plant is like been in desert country not sure there actually got put in water or fertilizer or not no one monitor , RM don't knew monitor what maybe monitor computer
10. electrical consumption in common area is 30k per month have already engage consultant company to check on it for sometimes so far no one come, until our JMB chairman call them there only info we just sent them the work request, what actually happening here i wondering
    
11. there will be some painting activity again for the main lobby seem like waiting for the RM to do work is so slow most of the JMC member decide to help our own building to do some make up

Painting day on last weekend

After numerous call for the quotation to paint the poolside and easily cost us rm 500. The JMB decide to DIY themselves although we aren't professional painter but well job done in less then rm 150 to buy the painting and brush, rather then waiting for the management office to work which sometimes make me wondering we work for them or their work for us, well you guys is really up to your all to judge. Anyway here are some picture for everyone to see the new poolside area
the area before painting been done, well no need to said much that place look horrible with all the painting basically been crack of from the wooden floor.
everyone is busy working even it was 12.00pm midnight, some of our wife will be wondering what the heck all this guys doing middle of night every day meeting & discussion even now painting.
well the poolside is almost done now, can see the obvious differences and tell you what this all been done within one hour job only, if only those staff and the "manager" can manage their people well i don't see this is such a big hassle or huh hah for a simple job
to show we are working group, JMB chairman also can't run away from helping the painting job, well he even folk the own pocket money and go source around for the painting, everyone must be wondering the chairman is resident manager in here or what.

almost done the painting
finalize touch up by our painter, handyman, electrician and etc and also tenant in Park avenue, where he single handle check all the lighting and swimming pool lighting, where is our RM again , why all implementation is only JMC JMC and JMC at least if there have done something should have reporting and status to all the resident
well there she goes, a prettier poolside area, at least when you have some invited guest around at night time, your poolside is not that bad as it seem, with now all the light been on, hopefully all resident can help to maintain this place

Houserules but no rules

Every building have their own rules and regulation and this doesn't apply to park avenue only, every high rise in klang valley also have their standard. However it seem notice and notice been serve to those owner but not action been done so far, and I serious don't understand why no action been done, yes we can tolerate and learn to appreciate each other but we must also respect the others owner, this are common area use by everyone,you just can't simply display whatever item you like, we are not staying in low cost flat, the worst thing is why the enforcer never audit all this and didn't do action.
I think the bicycle in this car park area, have been like years already. i don't understand what auditing been done so far, preventive maintenance, emergency response operation, bla bla bla seem like take ages to be completed. Where else when i was working client demand me for solution within one day or some even worst half and hour but i can see our building maintenance take forever to come up with a decent solution


again another vandalism happen, this is the door from the car park level 9, i don't knew who break it off, but the person whom do this i'm sure is up to something no good, and with access card not working since long time ago..Why there is no audit to all this item by the resident manager and been left it undone, question mark around my head everyday.Where else if this lock happen inside your own house i guarantee within an hour you will fix it but when it is common area,all people just ignore it as it is non of their bussiness
I think this is not a motorcycle parking space and yet there is alot of people just drive in and park there vehicle inside the resident car park area, sometimes i even saw the guard don't care when this motor cycle just fly pass them in the guard post , maybe all the guard have 6 sense there knew whom was the driver.

I hope all the resident will follow the house rule and don't simply put their belonging outside the common area, in case of emergency this item will become obstacle to people, we must prevent this while we still can, until accident occur then it will be too late

Progess Update 20/May/2009

Dear Resident,
Another week have pass now there still a lot of improvement to be done and must be immediate action as well, some involve hefty cost some doesn't. Those item doesn't involve cost the JMB have solve some of the issue and pending some, Along the way I in the JMC alot of hiccup and problem i never imagine happen it our building slowly come into picture, I can said it is much more headache then running awhole department or company, where alot of resident don't see the improvement been done but expecting those in JMB run the show for them, that is not how it supposed to be. A organization can never function if only few people running it even a JMC commitee is running on pro bono basic only. Anyway i should stop my rant now and update everyone with some of the status

• In-House guard have been hired and working since monday, he is Pak Sahak most of the time he will be around to monitor the whole building , supervise the security (as you knew complain have been so frequent on them since days one)
• Security company , we manage to meet up with the owner of the security company and have a long hour of discussion with them. As those issue on security guard dressing improper, allow unknown people simply walk in (contractor coming on weekend the guard not even block them my goodness), sleeping during duty hour, hang out inside the guard station . All this have been highlighted to them and there will improve all this behavior, so while in the future anyone still see all this happening to the guard, please take picture and sent to the JMB we will instead channel back to their management for immediate action, please don't go direct to the guard as there not direct reporting to us so we must go through proper channel.
• As everyone can see the RM have try to put up the poolside light put just less then four hour the light fail again, there is serious flaw to the wiring in here, this will need to rectified again, will update again to everyone.

• the water pump in the swimming pool & block A water tank have been sent to repair by two week times (before 31/05/2009) we will have out pool and water pressure in block A back in order, please monitor together this progress by the way this two item it self cost 3000 (water pump in block A) and 5000 plus for the swimming pool water pump, I hope this time after fix those people using the pool side will not try to destroy it again, try to be gentle without own property. Why i mention this is due to the lighting on the poolside previously was been vandalize by all this culprit and now to fix this causing 850 (to install the protection and lighting, every time been install for sure some idiot will go to spoil it)

• the side of the pool is not for swimming but yet some parent just ignore the house rules, those place are not suitable for kids to play and yet those adult just allow them the kids to do as their like, how we going to maintain this PA building nice and clean when the resident it self doesn't have self discipline, i hope all resident will follow the house rules
  
• intercom machine will still need to call up all the supplier to come over to check the system and submit quotation on the system, anyone whom have a contact or solution I would happily if you guys can update it to our RM to do follow up.
• As now we already appointed our own legal panel to help us on the legal matter, which will be charging on case by case basic. Will review the charges later once we have case open up with the legal firm.
• the new management office will not be moving in yet as the proposal for renovation for the office come out with estimation 20k, JMB feel now is not the right time to spend those money yet, where as we should concentrate on fixing all the building problem first, anyone which can get a cheaper quotation please come forward.
• Audit Account up until today still nothing from BR or MK while there are reaching to the dateline already, email and reminder been sent out, if by the 25/May no news receive JMB will have to start stern penalties to all this people. A lot of owner will love to see this audited account where is our sinking fund and maintenance fees all go to.
  
• Access door in car park pool side, block A level 9 and lobby will be fix by 22/May/2009, everyone please monitor the progress.
• Soon there will be some event for the woman & ladies in PA communities hall as this was propose by the woman & children welfare unit, hopefully can update everyone on this event to everyone by next week, please stay tune on this.
• Block C problem, as now still not yet receive any feedback from CA Lim , according to Norman our RM he will chase the feedback from him and comeback before 31/May let see what there going to do on this, however i feel those outstanding fees should have collected first in regardless of how to build up that area as the fee's is long overdue and no action been done for the past few years.. WHY ??? will raise this question on next meeting, i also want to knew ..out of curiosities
  

well folks that is all i can update everyone for now, hope all those issue and event happening in our building, management is transparent enough for everyone to start care about our building here. there is no hidden agenda in JMC we only want the best for this area where we call "home" i hope every resident can participate together to help out consider all this area as your own house also we need more man power to do work together, with just few JMB , sub commities and management office there is limited to the resources

Progess Update 14/May/2009

Dear resident,
here some update for today on our building, there some work been carried on now to improve the surrounding area to the swimming pool side, hopefully we can continue this effort not just for the starting few month, all this must be put into a proper schedule such as preventive maintenance, work order for all the resident to see. I guess this is so call transparent :D

Here is those missing chair been place back in to the swimming pool side, i hope all resident will no spoil all this thing , t ry keep our pool side clean

this is the emergency stair case previously we posted in our last blog where is full of rubbish. now have been clean out, hope i don't see the same rubbish stacking up there again in the future

the hole from the saujana apartment have been seal off for now, at least there will be no kids come in to our condo area again.

there some life saving item been put back again for safety purpose







the chair in BBQ area also been put up again but water stain and the black color stain in there is rather disturbing , need to do something on this















the light and chair finally in place again, all resident is our duty now to keep this item in working condition .. don't spoil it again

well that all for today update to everyone, will keep all resident posted with what ever progress the JMC & the building manager have make so everyone can help to monitor all this thing again

JMB & JMC Meeting on 13/May/2009

Dear Resident,
Just to update all with our latest development after 2 week been officially new JMB, we have try to resolve certain change over issue from handling of staff to the security issue. Here let me highlight some key point been implemented during this few week events

• As of 1 May Park avenue will have two of our own staff in handling our day to day administration job, admin & account clerk & building technician , both will be still reporting to the resident manager (En. Norman) appointed by C.A Lim (building consulting company)
  
• Park avenue will have our own set of property management software (UBS well no complain this is the cheapest available in the market with the features cost around 3k) , this is to ensure in the next few years we will not need to depend on consulting firm software and everytime there move out we have trouble to get all the data or even hassle to re-key in all the owner information
• Access card is all running again except for the poolside entry to car park (due date by friday should have fix all this issue )
• Security guard will have two in-house employe by the JMB to oversee the security hopefully by end of the week there will join the ship, as at now we seem to have problem to monitor all this security where some gone to sleep, missing during work or even some with attitude problem, as we have make complain even to their management but not much improvement in there (even the boss is staying in park avenue ..WTH!!!!!!), as far as i can see some condo with more then 10 years ago their security enforcer is still very strict and follow the house rules.. in here never once see such
  
• the holes at the back of the building between saujana apartment and park avenue have been seal off, this is to prevent some people trying to access to our building un-notice
• bring back all those missing umbrella chair & table back to the poolside, those are equipment all should be in place for all resident to enjoy (so far only see 2 umbrella, what happen to those lazy chair no one knew , no update at all maybe i should move myself ?)
• Intercom is not functioning as at now , the main controller have no power supply to it, and this piece of hardware is not under warranty anymore, and we been charging for rm XXX per trip to come down just for checking, if anyone whom knew or have contact on this information please pass it on so we can have our resident manager to contact them.
  

well that's all i can updated everyone as for now and we still have a list of pending issue regarding facilities, housekeeping still no feedback from resident manager will update to everyone again once status been revert back, as at now please stay tune for latest event and update

Park Avenue Sub Commitee Meeting

Dear all resident,
there will be a weekly meeting between JMB and the sub committee unit to discuss the issue on the building at Poolside 9.00 pm 12/05/2009, all member or non-member is encourage to join us for this discussion session.

By the way there are some list of item will be discuss on, which i think must see some result

• Action item been completed by the resident manager regarding the last complain list
• security implementation in the lift area, so far didn't see a single guard sit there, accept the table and chair (are their the new guard ..?)
  
• clamping on the errand car owner
  
• new management office, we must set a date for the moving and completion seem there no dateline been set
  
• the poolside chair and display not fully arrange as per discuss with the consulting company on suggestion of improve the outlook, i wondering what happen to that must seek the resident manager for explanation.
• the list of emergency number to be distribute out to the resident haven't been see, expecting to be distributed on Friday. I thought this is urgent prioritize action.
  

Annual General Meeting

As one years have gone through JMB have grow older by 1 years old, even we have establish more then a years but alot issue and item still need to be done to improve Park Avenue, hopefully in the nearby future we will see more participant on the communities
Even with over few hundred of owner in the building but the participant on the overall is quite disappointing, less then 1/3 actually turn up for such big events, i wondering what happen to others owner ? not interested or don't care about what happening to the Park Avenue building as long as your own house is great. As owner i personally feel alot of owner need to wake up and look into this as a whole building is actually belong to you not just your own unit, what do you feel when you invited some friend to come over to BBQ in poolside, my goodness rubbish everywhere , spoil equipment , tainted wall, water stain everywhere , spoil light. All this issue need to be tackle and yes all this issue need to be take of and the previously not much effort have been done.

People will start asking why didn't do that why didn't do this, but no one actually feedback to the JMB and the resident manager might even overlook all this issue while trying to solve all the bigger issue, that why we need resident to step up one more gear to help the management guys to compiled all issue at least JMB can take further action.

Everyone have their own job and busy with their working life and family, well who doesn't, even me have to work until wee hour in the morning and mean time accommodate the JMB duty as well, therefore really hope all the resident can hold hand to hand to improve the overall place just JMB alone can't make big impact but with the all resident together i sincerely believe we can make it bring the Park Avenue as one of the top resident around the area

Try spot all the owner name in the picture posted this include all picture on the top as well, whom ever manage to guess all the name and number of person attend during the meeting will stand a chance to win some free gift.. what is the free gift? wait for the next post will be review ..

We need more participant

JMC need more resident to communicate and participant as a whole unit to make park avenue be more attractive, hopefully all the resident can spend sometimes in contribute to our beautiful home (well it might not be so beautiful for now) , even is just an information and picture i do hope that resident can provide feedback to the JMC , even with current JMC all working as voluntary basic there still much more man power needed to cover all the area. only with our own hand we can save our own place

Security

As the result from yesterday meeting within JMB unit and the resident manager, we have concluded to improve the security problem within our building as much of complain and "unknown" people come in and out of our building.

The JMC even when to the guard house to do spot check in 1 a.m in the morning to ensure the guard is with their post and perform their duty, however must as we expected a lot of fault and hidden agenda need to be enforce, hopefully we can see some changes within this week . Keep my finger cross on this issue

Here is some updated picture which we found out rahter disturbing in the emergency exit, which come to our amaze, hopefully the resident manager will do more audit and spot check on all the area even before the JMC or any resident found out such a big flaw within our building


this is the door to the rubbish area in the car park area, where the cleaner have been keep this door open 24 hours and outsider can just jump in from here, my goodness what a shocking discovery


Emergency exit have become a storeroom and paper collecting bay, what happen when fire emergency when old people or kids going down from the staircase, this is serious and illegal, we must take a form action on this


another view on the amazing location

Reality vs Imagination

Every one love the best and been promise the best, that what we been promise when we first set our eyes on this property but how time fly after four years Park avenue doesn't really delivery as it have been promise
if every resident in this property feel we have been far away from
Just look at this simple comparison what happen to our condo facilities is actually a disgrace to all the resident

Opal Damansara Facilities

Park Avenue Facilities

Not even to compare the gym room have been totally in sorry state recently as compare when we first move in, i think we are in move backward instead of forward

Our gym room

Others Condo gym room (don't you just envy how well think been kept and maintain the standard and class)BBQ area is even more sad, not sure why our place is full of hooligans so sad to see this
