Optimizing our space and operations for the collective pride of all residents

Refer to Contact Directory to Expedite Response Times

Back in March 2022, each Red Haus unit received a postcard through their door with a magnet affixed for your fridge. Please reference this directory for all Red Haus related questions or concerns for faster response times and resolutions.
We ask owners and residents to lean into Condo Control to submit service requests and complaints. It provides access to a broader support team, an actionable paper trail, and trackable timeline. Condo Control is an extension of our management team — your digital concierge per say. Directing service requests and complaints there will ensure faster turnaround time. The Property Manager and Maintenance Supervisor will direct you here also.
Log into Condo Control **here**. Don’t have a password? Contact the Property Manager for access.

Salvation Army or Goodwill, Never Our Lobby or Waste Huts

Though often well intentioned, “FREE”or donated items must not be left on common property for other residents.
Please resist using waste huts and lobbies for the disposal of household refuse, like furniture or electronic items.
These items must be disposed of off-site or donated to the likes of the Salvation Army or Goodwill. The onus lies with the resident, not the Condo Corporation to remove these items from the property.
**Violators will face fines of $250 per occurrence.**

Safe Cigarette and Joint Disposal

Flicking butts from patios and building exits onto common property carries serve fines. Cameras and resident intel make it very simple to locate the source.
Not only is it considered littering, cigarette and joint butts also present a very real fire hazard to this community. With above-seasonal temperatures, fires are higher risk, so management will be paying closer attention.
Safe disposal of cigarettes (yours and your guests) is your responsibility. Thank you for your vigilance.
**Violators will face fines of $250 per occurrence.**

Mandatory Dog Waste Clean-Up

Though a seemingly a logical act, there are residents at Red Haus who reguarly fail to pick up after their dog on common property.
With five waste stations (and free poop bags provided), there is absolutely *no excuse* for not picking up after your dog, ever; this is a basic condition of having a dog at Red Haus.
Kindly dispose of waste at a one of these pet waste stations. *Do not dispose of pet waste in lobby waste bins.*
For on-lookers, please call-out these residents and report them — the contamination of our community space is never acceptable or tolerated.
As a courtesy to fellow residents, please help us minimize property damage and foul odours at entrances and exits by discouraging your dog to urinate or defecate immediately upon leaving these doors. If necessary, carry your pet 20+ feet away from the building – we have a large property to explore for dogs and their owners alike.
**Violators will face fines of $250 per occurrence.**

Parkade Stalls are for Vehicles Only, Not for Storage or Waste

Stalls are for vehicles only. Your registered parking spot *may not* be used for storage of any kind or contain debris.
Our Maintenance Supervisor conducts random parking stall inspections, or when clutter is reported. Fines are issued for non-compliance.

Onus on Owners to Inform Tenants of Policies + Bylaws

Whether your tenant is new or long-term, it is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that your tenant is properly informed of polices and bylaws.

It is also the owner’s responsibility to register their tenant with the property manager and update relevant information as it changes.

**Tenants who are inaccurately registered with the property manager trigger a fine to the owner of $250 per occurrence.**

Spring Clean at Red Haus

Greetings neighbours,

I’d like to sincerely thank everyone who attended our 2023 AGM (held on May 8), a review of the year’s operational and capital activities, as well as our financial position. Once minutes are completed, they will be made available on the Govenmance page and on Condo Control.

In the interim, I’d like to highlight some of the take aways, as well as the directives we’ve championed this year to enhance the quality of life, security, and financial stability of our community and Corporation.

The 2022 Board was re-elected in addition to welcoming two new volunteers, growing our Board from five to seven members. I attribute our collective success to the solidarity, diversity and relevant experience of this group. Greater bandwidth and depth of expertise will undoubtedly be of benefit to this community, and your investment.

Our directives generally fall into four categories, namely: operations, finance, communications and security.

First, from an operations perspective, the Board has reviewed all vender contracts this year to optimize value for day-to-day operations. This review has yielded a savings of $60,000 for the Corporation over last year’s spend.

Also of significance, following last year’s AGM, we passed necessary bylaw changes by way of Special Resolution vote. Had this vote not passed (which was certain had we not collected votes electronically), we were vulnerable to multiple $10,000 fines by the Province. To date, we are the only property in Calgary to achieve this through digital voting measures, thanks to the efforts of our communications consultant.

Secondly, from a financial perspective, in-spite of inflation and recessionary pressures, responsible fiscal management has made it unnecessary to increase condo fees for owners.

We’ve budgeted this year to update the resident’s lounge in the Club Haus. This has not been done since the building’s inception in 2007. We wish to remain competitive with other multi-residential complexes, but also enhance opportunities for residents to connect with other residents (through clubs) and to provide a polished space for personal and private events.

We invested in additional equipment in the gym to expand your options and elevate your at-home work outs.

Thirdly, for enhanced owner & resident communications, we’ve recently converted all necessary forms from printable PDFs to fillable electronic forms, which significantly eases the submission process.

We’ve also had to bring our forms and policies up-to-date to align with our revised bylaws. Visit the Forms page to update owner and tenant information. Also watch your inbox and mailbox for updated policy information.

We’ve produced six newsletters this past year, that serve to update owners and residents regarding capital and operational spends, bylaw infractions and property maintenance updates. This information is mirrored on memo boards and digital signage for your convenience and awareness.

Fourth and lastly, to further enhance security, we’ve upgraded our security software so that we might more easily identify trespassers, vandals and those failing to fob into the parkade.

It’s been a pleasure serving you and this community. We will endeavour, as always, to move this community forward in a safe, thoughtful and fiscally responsible manner.

As we transition into summer and enjoy more time outdoors — and on our patios — we ask that you take note of the spring cleaning reminders below as they relate to safety, respectful noise levels and common bylaw infractions.

— Don McKenzie | President, Red Haus Board of Directors
