Door Closers

     Banyan apartments have heavy fire-resistant doors that make considerable noise when allowed to slam shut. The resulting bang can considerably disturb your neighbors. Doors in units that catch trade winds have also damaged the door casing and associated walls when allowed to close with full force.
     The device that modulates the impact of the door on the casing is called a door closer. Properly adjusted your door will securely latch without damage or loud bang.
     It’s your door, your casing, and your door closer. Maintenance of each is your responsibility. Please keep your closer adjusted and in good repair.
     Your neighbors and checkbook will thank you.

 

Suicide by Smoke

     So far there is no Hawaii law against individuals attempting to commit suicide via smoking. However there is a state law trying to inhibit smokers from taking other people with them. At the Banyan, other than inside apartments, no smoking is allowed anywhere under roof or within 20 feet of open windows or doors. This includes anywhere in the Banyan parking garage.
     Security is required to politely remind smokers of this law should they be seen smoking just about anywhere outside their apartments other than parts of the rec deck.

 

2010 Parking Passes

     The parking passes for 2010 have arrived. The new passes will be effective noon January 1, 2010. The 2009 blue passes will no longer be valid after that date.
     Each owner is entitled to one (1) parking pass for each apartment owned. Control of the parking pass is the unit owner’s responsibility. You may assign your pass to your tenant or rental agent, however we must have your personally signed authorization before we will give a pass to anyone other than you.
     THERE IS A $50 CHARGE FOR REPLACEMENT OF A LOST PARKING PASS.
     If you sell your unit, please give the pass to the new owner. If you do not, the new owner will have to pay $50 for a new pass.
     We will not be mailing out the passes. They will be available beginning December 9 in the Administration Office, 306-II, during normal business hours.
     If you wish to assign your parking pass please fill out and SIGN the form at the end of this newsletter and mail or fax it to: AOAO Waikiki Banyan, Administration Office, 201 Ohua, #306, Honolulu, HI 96815 1-(808) 921-2037(fax)
