Is it time to allow AC in all Top Units?

Those Brittan Heights top units do have the nice vaulted ceilings and often great views. But there is also a downside; they get pretty hot in summer. There is very little separating the living space in the top condos and the composition roof above them which acts like a huge heat magnet. If you’re aContinue reading “Is it time to allow AC in all Top Units?”

Long Way to go still on Burnt Building

It’s October 2015 and I was walking around Brittan Heights and noticed that the building that caught fire 10 months ago, still seems to have a long way to go before it’s finished. The exterior siding is missing and the interiors still appear to be bare studs. I would think that we are still aContinue reading “Long Way to go still on Burnt Building”

HOA Inspection Clearance – Not so Clear?

“The HOA basically came back and told us that their inspection of the unit 18 months ago did not count!” A few months ago I wrote a post about how ‘resistance is futile’ with the HOA inspection at the time a condo is sold at Brittan Heights.  https://brittanheights.com/2014/11/06/resistance-is-futile-you-shall-comply/. Maybe resistance is not so futile… SoContinue reading “HOA Inspection Clearance – Not so Clear?”

Electric Revolution Comes to Brittan Heights

So you’re living at, or thinking of living at Brittan Heights, and want to purchase an electric car. How are you going to charge it? California has passed a few laws to prevent HOAs from flat out denying the addition of charging stations to a parking spot.

Would Your Smoke Detector Save Your Life?

A few weeks before this was written on January 12, 2015 there was a unit that caught fire at Brittan Heights and this made me think about the importance smoke detectors and that the majority of people have the wrong type in their homes. There are two types, ionization smoke detection and photoelectric smoke detection. IonizationContinue reading “Would Your Smoke Detector Save Your Life?”
