The Heights
July 2025 update.
Presidents comments.
We continue to have dog problems, I have had calls about dogs barking and howling in apartments on C1 and D4.
We also have cat issues, messing on the complex, I have spoken to an owner who has 5 cats, and leaves a window open so they can come and go as they please. It was agreed that the window would only be open a few cms, so they can´t get out, a few spot checks has shown they have been true to their word so far.
A few lift issues, although nothing major. I have been to many apartments this month due to noise, and clothing/towels over the balcony walls, some have VV licenses, none of these apartments had the complex rules available, no suprises there.
Complex news/ issues/updates.
Last month I told you about a problem couple on A block, I called the owner/agent and am pleased to report about a week later they moved out, the owner was billed 60 euros for the new light fitting.
All owners will have seen a message from Etelina to provide details of VV license numbers if they have one, if you haven´t replied yet please do so ASAP. If you have a VV please display it outside your apartment, this will ensure you are not included on the illegal letting list we are compiling. We are looking to make this compulsory.
We had a problem at the pool, after an owner asked a group of women who were being a nuisance to follow the pool rules, this escalated over a few days, resulting in the owner being pushed, the police were called, but by the time they arrived, the women had disappeared into the complex. After I was made aware I made a few calls and found they were staying on A2, I spoke to them, and made them aware this type of behaviour is not acceptable on our complex. Unfortunately the contact details we have for the owner are no longer valid.
I had a call about the water machine not giving the correct amount of water, after speaking to the company, they explained that it was dispensing the correct amount, but the price of the water had increased to 1euro per 5 litres.
We are getting groups of young people renting apartments from owners, they were being a complete nuisance, I have asked several agents to up the age limit they rent out to, we will not tolerate this sort of behaviour.
I was contacted by an owner about the 2 building sites across the road from The Heights, and the noise created by the machines and the builders, I really can’t do anything about it.
The Swimming pool.
The levy for the re-tile of the pool area was included in the July community fees, we now have 3 quotes for the work, which will be discussed and decided on, we expect the work to take 3 weeks to complete, starting the last 2 weeks of November and the first week of December, the pool will close during this period.
A large pool filter is going to need replacing, we can leave this work to the time the pool is being re-tiled.
I have been locking the pool gate at sunset, after receiving pictures of people in the pool at 11pm.
People are still leaving pool umbrellas up, after finishing for the day, these get damaged if we get a strong winds over night.
Nicanor has moved the First Aid box from the toilet area, to the wall to the left of the entrance from the garage. This was necessary due to the fact the box had all the medical products taken, its now in view of the CCTV cameras so we can monitor its use.
Library open every Wednesday from 10am to 11am, located by the post boxes . Not open on public holidays.

Please do not knock at my home address, I always have my phone with me. Thanks.
