your apartment is kept in top condition. |

Management, the industry standard utilized by small and huge management
companies worldwide. Additionally, Parkview was connected via T1
circuit to the main office and the internet. |

manager as well as a more comfortable place for our residents to conduct
business with us. |

Pebble Sheen, to provide a long lasting surface to the pool and spa. |

The property was overgrown at the time of purchase with many plants in
contact with the buildings. All shrubs were pruned away from buildings
and shaped. |

The northerly property line adjacent to Chico Canyon Road was fenced with a
cedar fence to provide an aesthetic backdrop and to provide privacy and
noise screening for the adjacent residents. |

The new fence has created areas that have great potential, and our
landscaping contractor will be improving the irrigation and plantings in
these areas. |
|
Improve lighting on some buildings |
Some of our buildings have poor pathway lighting, and this situation is
being addressed by installing pathway lighting |
|
Parking Lot structural repairs |
The original parking lot was not built using best industry practices and the
gutters have failed in many areas. These areas are being rebuilt to
include concrete gutter pans in areas where peak drainage flows occur.
Structural defects, damage, and wear are also being addressed. This
project will provide a more durable surface that will drain properly and not
deteriorate as quickly as the original lot. |

that people communicate in many ways, and we strive to accommodate people's
preference. |

Parking canopies were re-numbered in a way where the number
is not related to the apartment. This was a security enhancement. |
