Remodeling
Before undertaking any type of remodeling project, please ensure that you have read and understood the CC&R's and the 'Rules and Regulations' located on the Documents Page.
Section 10 'ARCHITECTURAL AND ALTERATIONS' of the Rules and Regulations, can be viewed below.
Most remodels / renovations require that an Architectural Request be submitted to the On Site Manager, or Horizon Management, and in many cases, first be reviewed and accepted by the Architectural Committee, and The Board of Directors, before you begin your project. Please don't assume that your project is too small to require approval.
Entrance doors, hallways, stairwells, and elevators, all must be protected before moving any kind of materials (and/or furniture), into your unit. Elevator pads, and hallway carpet protection, are required.
Construction hours are between 8AM and 5PM Monday - Friday only.
For questions, and elevator pads, contact Lee King, Onsite Manager, at 310-543-1995
10. ARCHITECTURAL AND ALTERATIONS
A. No external structural changes, including, but not limited to, modification of external doors, windows, wall surfaces, roofs, balcony decks (including screening or any type of enclosure), or lighting fixtures, shall be made without first obtaining written approval. The On-Site Manager may issue written approval for certain types of modifications within guidelines approved by The Board. Any such request for change shall be submitted to Horizon Management Company, or to the On-Site Manager. Such requests shall immediately be forwarded to the Architectural Committee, and to The Board of Directors. After receipt of such requests, the Architectural Committee shall have ten (10) calendar days to submit written recommendations to The Board.
Any changes done without the required approval must be returned to the original condition at the expense of the Owner.
B. No internal structural changes, including but not limited to, tile flooring, or plumbing may be made without first obtaining written approval. The On-site Manager, from his office, may issue written approval for certain types of modifications within guidelines approved by The Board. Any such request for change shall be submitted to Horizon Management Company, or to the On-Site Manager. Such requests shall immediately be forwarded to the Architectural Committee, and to The Board of Directors. After receipt of such request, the Architectural Committee shall have ten (10) calendar days to submit written recommendations to The Board.
Any changes done without the required approval must be returned to the original condition at the expense of the Owner.
Washers, dryers, and spa / Jacuzzi tubs shall not be installed in any unit.
C. No floor covering EXCEPT carpeting is permitted in living rooms, dining areas, bedrooms and halls in the 2nd and 3rd floor units. This includes, but is not limited to, hardwood floors, tile, linoleum, etc.
D. The responsibility for maintenance of the integrity of the waterproof membrane on the 2nd and 3rd floor balcony decks is and always has been the sole responsibility of the property Owners. Periodic application of a waterproof deck coating is recommended.
E. If the Owner should desire to install a permanent flooring system such as ceramic tile, slate, or similar materials on balcony decks, they MUST FIRST REQUEST permission from the On-Site Manager and The Board. The Owner will be responsible to instruct their contractor that the installation they proposed will not cause damage to the integrity of the waterproofing and must provide them with a written guarantee. The Owner shall provide a copy of the guarantee to the Board.
F. If the Owner should choose to install their own balcony deck flooring system, they must indemnify the Association and assume the liability for any future damage to the structure. If the Owner desires to install carpet on their balcony deck, it must be an outdoor type with a backing that will not conduct water down to the balcony deck.
G. The flashing at the intersection of the deck and wall is the responsibility of the Association. Should the Owner believe the flashing requires repair or replacement, he/she should contact the On-Site Manager. If the Owner is unsure, he/she should contact the On-Site Manager and have the flashing inspected.
H. The use of drop cloths IS REQUIRED in all common areas, including elevators and hallways, when
making alterations. The use of elevator pads is also required. See Move-In and Out Section 3.0 for additional elevator pad information.
I. All Owners/Tenants employing contractors must supervise their use of the common areas and will be responsible for any damage. Contractors are NOT allowed to prop open doors or gates. Garages and common areas may only be used for contractor staging with ADVANCE AUTHORIZATION by the On-Site Manager.
J. Construction debris, carpet, appliances, counter tops, etc. MAY NOT be disposed of in the Association dumpsters or recycle bins or be abandoned in the common areas. All items must be hauled away for off-site disposal. Violations are subject to a $100 fine per occurrence, plus repair and/or clean up costs for any damage.

In some cases, the On-Site Manager can approve a work/improvement request and issue specific Board-approved guidelines for such requests. Types of work that the On-Site Manager cannot approve will require Board approval. Those requests must be submitted to Horizon Management Company or to the On-Site Manager, who will then present the request to The Board and Architectural Committee for review.
