Annual Fire Inspection: November 9 - November 20, 2026

Special Newsletter: Fire System Inspection Notice

·      CLICK HERE for printable notice

The Annual Fire system inspection has been scheduled for November 9 starting at 9AM, through November 20 by ARK, our service provider, with assistance from PCAM and the Association. This is a requirement of the NFPA and local fire safety code.

·       Your cooperation and patience is appreciated.

·       What will be inspected?

o   The following will be tested and/or inspected; 
-      Sprinklers (some in closets)
-      Fire Alarms
-      Backflow
-      Fire Extinguishers
-      Fire Pumps
-      Emergency Lights

·       The inspection requires that every sounder/strobe is checked for proper operation.

·       Upon entry of every unit, the inspection team inspects every sprinkler head.

·       Sprinkler heads are located throughout our units. Every room and large closet has one.

·       Sprinkler head concealers are sometimes painted and caulked. This is a violation of the fire code as paint, spackling, and caulk affect the concealer cap from separating in the event of a fire. Seventy (70) sprinkler concealer caps were adulterated and replaced by ARK technicians in 2026. The Association pays for the replacements. This year the Association will back-charge owners for replacement concealer caps.

·       175 of 177 have provided keys or codes. Thank you for your cooperation.

·       ARK will be providing a “Deficiency Report” for the Association to develop an Action Plan.

·       The Association will inspect units for expired smoke alarms. Those unit owners will be cited and asked to replace the expired smoke alarms. Many are twenty-years old.

Results of Electric Vehicle Survey

86 of 177 responded. 

At this time, an EV charging station doesn't appear to useful.

No full time resident of Windswept has an EV.

Even if the demand was greater, the Association would not finance the project.

Response Category	Count	Percentage
No, I do not have an EV	69	80.2%
Yes, have an EV & reside in Windswept >4 months/year	5	5.8%
Plan to purchase an EV in the next 12 months	4	4.7%
Own a rechargeable hybrid vehicle (PHEV)	2	2.3%
Yes, have an EV but only occasionally visit Windswept	2	2.3%
Other / Custom Responses (see details below)	4	4.7%
Total	86	100.0%

Pergolas Progress

 Pergolas should be completed by Friday, October 9.

Building 10 Finished.

What About Electric Vehicles?

Several Windswept Owners have inquired about EV charging stations.

First Questions: 

A survey questionnaire has been sent to all owners on this subject.

1. Do you own an electric vehicle that requires charging?
2. Do you plan to purchase an EV in the next 6 months?
3. If yes, are you a full-time resident at Windswept?

The Infrastructure Committee will be researching the feasibility of charging stations here at Windswept.  This is a multifaceted issue. Just to name few: location, costs, grants available, type of chargers, who will own it? Power required. Do we even need it?

 

PROGRESS on PERGOLAS!

Work has begun on the pergolas.

They will all be reconstructed by Resort Exteriors.

The construction will feature PVC and Vinyl covering.

Wood is used for structural purposes.

No wood will be exposed after completion.

Building 10 should be completed by Friday.

Buildings 9,10, & 11 have been started.

STILL SAVING!

 Year-Over- Year Electric Billing Savings, September 12, 2026

Cumulative Savings = $13,031.24

Who will step up?

 NOTICE!

On Sunday, November 15, 

Windswept Condominium Association will conduct its 

Annual Meeting of Owners

At the meeting directors will be elected.

Two director positions will be open.

It is time to prepare your resume. 

The term is for three years.

This is your chance to get things done!

What if I am locked out?

I am locked out and have no key!

I have heard this several times. That's condo normal.

Here a few ways to keep this frustrating moment from happening. 

Get a lock box. These are great especially if you are away and need to allow someone entry. Amazon has several models, $15-$30.

Two types: Wall mount and Doorknob hanger. You can buy these at Amazon. Some folks hang the hanger type on their storage closet.

Write the combination down in a place that you will remember.

Get a magnetic "Hide-A-Key". Put your house key in it and attach it under your car. (not in your car.) or some other hiding spot. 

Find a trustworthy full-time neighbor. 

Any other ideas?

How about those Keys?

Dear Neighbors,

As you know, the Association has been asking for unit keys for the past two years. I want to thank all of you that have responded.  We started last year with 45 missing keys. As of August 29, we only need 7 more unit keys to be 100% compliant.

If you have not been contacted, you may assume that there is a key for your unit in the lockbox.

Why do we need your keys? There are two basic reasons.

Emergency access: Medical access or equipment failure. There have been three incidents of water damage in the past two years when management could not access units where a water was flowing out of control. Simply put, no one was home and no key was in the lockbox.

Inspections: Every year in November, an annual fire inspection is conducted. The inspection requires access to every unit. Strobe/sounders and all sprinkler heads are checked. Units that are inaccessible are listed in a deficiency report. The Association pays for return visits to all inaccessible units.

How are the keys secured?

Each building has a lockbox in a closet with a dead bolt. They are now stored in an orderly fashion and tagged. These lockboxes have been recently organized to reduce the possibility of loss.

NOT RECYCLE!

Nice Try.  

NO PLASTIC bags in the recycle bin. Empty the bag. 

The plastic bag goes into the trash dumpster.

Are you protected from Fire?

Expired Smoke Alarms

Smoke alarms save lives. Protect yourself and your neighbors.

Several owners have still not replaced their EXPIRED smoke alarms. 

During our November Fire inspection, Unit Owners will be cited for non-code compliant smoke alarms. The current code also requires Carbon Monoxide Sensors.

This is what a non-compliant smoke alarm looks like. They have a 9-volt battery compartment. The newer smoke alarm units have a 10-year battery and do not have a sliding cover. If you remove the alarm device, you will see its date stamp.

The Firex smoke alarm shown is stamped "2006 SEP 18".

Most Electricians are familiar with the Current Code and make certain of compliance. 

The Money Saving Trend Continues. CHA-CHA- CHING!

 Windswept Electric bills continue going down. 

Year -over- Year savings = $12,606.46

WHY?

~ Monthly review of consumption = looking for anomalies

~ Thermostat control of setpoints -(Cooling 76 degrees)

~ Elevator Operation change - Holding last floor- click here for more

~ Improved heating thermostat controls in the Data Rooms and Sprinkler Closets - Effective starting in November

Going Down? Going Up?

 Elevator Operation: Our elevators used to return to the lobby level after each assent. Most of the electric demand is for powering the lift. A valve opens to bleed the hydraulic fluid. So, "going down" is virtually a free ride.

On May 13, our elevator technician modified the sequential programs. The change will cause the elevator to stay at the floor last serviced. The cab will not return to the lobby unless called. This change has saved electricity by eliminating unnecessary ascents. Most residents say elevator waiting times have been reduced. 

Cha-Ching!

Energy Management, Utility Closet Thermostats, Cha-Ching!

Many owners are unaware of our Utility Closets.
Each building has 4 closets.

• Sprinkler Room
• Data Room
• Elevator
• HVAC

The Sprinkler Rooms and Data Rooms are heated with electric baseboards. Each house water pipes. The electric baseboards had insufficient controls, thusly overheating the closets.
Critical Peake' electricians installed 23 thermostats on Wednesday, August 6.


New Thermostat connected to baseboard




High-Low Thermometer

Two for each building plus one for the Pump House.
This should positively impact our electric cost during the heating months. 

The T-stats are set to 45 degrees. This will protect the water pipes and electronic equipment in the rooms without wastefully overheating.
Several High-Low Thermometers are in place to monitor temperatures.

Cha-Ching!

The financial benefits should begin to show in November.
