Would someone else in your house have filled out the form with their email address? The early days here, the parking arm was just opening for everyone, so it may have "worked" for you before, but your license plate might not have been actually registered. Follow directions here: <a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgilmoreplace.blob.core.windows.net%2Ffile%2FNovember21-2024-ResidentialParkingGateArmAccessRegistry_105614.pdf">Register in parking Whiz App</a>.

The system doesn’t bill you monthly. This was a requirement of the parking Whiz app to collect the credit card details. However, if you don’t want them stored, once you have logged into the portal above, you can 'edit' your account and go to the 'billing' tab. From here, you can change the method of payment to pay invoices manually.

The only people that can help you are Seymour Parking. If that doesn’t work, try emailing support@seymourparking.com. When you email, provide the license plate number. If you read this before you have an issue and you take a ticket to get in, keep the ticket and take a photo. Send the photo of the ticket with your license plate number. Seymour Parking can use that to look up what happened in the logs. If you don’t provide these details, they can’t check anything.

There is a setting "Compressor Min Outdoor Temperature" which by default is set to 1.7 degree. Household split unit heat pumps have the compressor on the outside of the building, but in a condo like ours, the compressor is inside our unit. This setting is set at 1.7C to protect the compressor if it is outdoors, so you can safely set it to as low as a temperature as possible or fully disable it if you have the option.

Turn the fan onto maximum. If you still have issues, try turning down the heat.  open the door to the balcony to vent smoke.  Never open your door to your hallway as you may trigger the smoke alarm for the building which means the Fire department will be dispatched!

No Approval Needed: Painting, replacing appliances, replacing interior fixtures, switches  (no structural/plumbing/electrical work). Approval Needed: Changes impacting common property, noise levels, or safety, such as:             Flooring changes (e.g., carpet to laminate), as this can increase noise. Strata bylaws usually require noise mitigation (e.g., soundproof underlay) and prior approval. Modifying walls, plumbing, electrical systems, or exterior elements like windows or balconies.

In the care manual, it says you can use "Bar Keepers Friend." It’s a product that has been shown to be effective.

Hydro refers to water for the entire building, whereas Energy is the electricity from BC Hydro. Water for all units is covered by strata fees, but each unit pays for its own electricity. The main boiler for hot water and the heat pump is provided by strata, as well as the cooling tower for AC. However, each resident pays for the electricity to run their individual heat pumps.

The heat pump is the main source of heating and cooling for the building. Fan coil units provide both heating and cooling for individual units. Additionally, the building supports the heating and cooling systems for lighting, hallways, and elevators.

If you notice smoke entering your unit, please contact the Concierge team immediately. We will investigate the source of the smoke to ensure it complies with building rules, as smoking inside/outside units is prohibited. Any verified incidents will be documented in CARE reports for follow-up. Rest assured, the Concierge team will never disclose your unit information during the reporting process.

Contact concierge and they can come knock on the door and record the issue. We can issue a warning and fines if the behavior continues.

This is really sad that a resident wouldn't do that. Take note of the date and time and the area and report it to the Rancho agent or to the concierge. They will create a CARE report and hopefully track down who it is. DNA Dog registration is incoming.
