Notice for Aston Towers Residents
This apartment building is nearly 30 years old, and it has been quite some time since it underwent major improvements. Moreover, the Residents' Association has been asking management to upgrade the apartments for several months now, and we agree that the time has come to make these changes. However, this may lead to some disturbances for a short time.
The renovations are planned to take place over three stages;
• Stage One, April 18 to May 11: Renovating the exterior of the building
• Stage Two, May 13 to June 24: Improving the interior corridors
• Stage Three, June 30 to September 1: Necessary improvements to individual units
The first two stages will generate a certain amount of construction noise during the day, between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. For the repairs to individual units, we will be in touch with you shortly to determine the necessary work and arrange dates for repairpersons to visit your unit.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Aston Towers Management- What is the purpose of the notice?
