Parkside Wenatchee Welcomes Spring












Happy Spring!!

First, we’d like to apologize for NOT getting the dryer vents cleaned or the furnace filters changed as planned the week of he 16th. All maintenance issues are high on our priority list. When we know what the new schedule will be, we will put out a new notice to everyone.

Parking still seems to be an issue. Please inform your guests all parking spaces are assigned. If they cannot locate a visitor-parking stall they will need to park on the street. This is a bit inconvenient but we must all respect each other’s parking spaces. You expect your parking space to be available to you and others have the same expectation.

Cigarette butts are still being discarded onto the property. It is extremely inconsiderate not to dispose of smoking materials properly. Please have a coffee can or some other non-flammable container available to discard cigarette butts into. We have not yet begun a special assessment to the offenders but are on the verge of doing so because this creates additional clean-up expense. It is also annoying and embarrassing for tenants when they have guests come over.

Another unsanitary and embarrassing habit some people are in is to put their garbage sack out by their front door or on their patio. This is not o.k. All trash needs to be discarded of immediately. It’s unsightly, unsanitary and an eyesore.




AGAIN, the same old reminder to pet owners: Your pet is YOUR responsibility. We are getting specific complaints and we will be monitoring the problems. We will be starting yard maintenance again soon so it is even more imperative the areas around your buildings are clean of debris.

Every pet owner is responsible for cleaning up after his or her pet. Period. Period. Period. If this continues to be an ongoing problem we will address it on a case-by-case basis… and it may become necessary to revoke permission for some residents to have pets. I hope it doesn’t come to that, as I know it would be extremely unpopular. We want to be a pet friendly environment but our resident’s comfort and convenience is our priority.

Also, we STILL have not completed the installation of all the peepholes and still have not cashed any of your checks written for the peepholes. Again, we apologize if this causes any inconvenience in your bank account reconciliation.

On another subject, many of you had term leases under the prior management company that have expired. I have had many requests for renewals and I will get to those as soon as possible. In the meantime, rest assured we will not be raising the rent for those who indicated they want a lease extension.

We enjoy being your property managers and appreciate the cooperative spirit throughout the complex. We want Parkside to be a pleasant place to live and if there is anything more we can do to attain that goal, please let us know.

If you have any questions, please call our office at 470-6012. If you have something of an emergency nature call (or text) my cell phone at 670-7840.

Again… Happy Spring

New Neighbors



First, we wish to welcome all of our new tenants at Parkside. As always, we encourage tenants to contact us with questions or if there are issues in your unit or something about the grounds maintenance that needs to be tended to.

We will be enjoying some nice Spring weather soon, and it will be necessary for maintenance to fertilize the grass. We will give you some notice before we do this. Those of you who have small children and pets will want to take special caution to stay off the grass until the fertilizer has had a chance to work it's way into the ground.

During the week of March 16th - 20th, Maintenance will be making the rounds to inspect the dryer vent hose in every unit. At the same time, he will be changing out furnace filters again. After this, we will send out a reminder to tenants when it is time for YOU to change filters in the future. Maintenance personnel will be putting instructions on each furnace. Depending on other maintenance needs, we anticipate Ted to need access to your units on the following schedule:

March 16th & 17th 1428 - 1440 McKittrick
March 17th & 18th 1410 - 1428 McKittrick
March 18th & 19th 1602 - 1682 Stella

You are welcome to be in attendance during these maintenance tasks. If you are not home, we will use our management key to access your units so we can access the dryer vents and change out the filter in the furnace. Please remember NOT to overload the dryers. Your clothes will dry much faster (costing you less in electricity expenses) and the units will last much longer.

We still have not installed all of the peepholes... so don't think we have forgotten. We are a little behind, but we will soon be caught up.

We are seeing much improvement on parking issues, the disposal of cigarette butts, animal droppings and other debris on the grounds. For that we thank you all very very much.

Please make all rent checks to: Willinger Real Estate

Everything we do as your management company is intended to make your life at Parkside more pleasant and to control maintenance costs so we can avoid rent increases. We appreciate everyone's cooperation toward that goal!

If you do need to contact us, please call the office number if it is not an issue that needs immediate attention: 470-6012. If it is something needing immediate attention, please text message or call Carol at 670-7840. Text messages are preferred.

Sincerely,
