unseen facitilies, but very important too

i guess if we would conduct a survey to check what's the most important common facilities, the answer from residents should be the LIFT, this is understandable as w/o the lift functioning well, it effect everybody, especially the higher floors.

well, if i check with JMB, they would say the T&G car barrier is also very important, coz this is a good way to remind some residents in their busyness pls remember to pay their service charge, but of course most of our residents no need to be reminded, for many of the ppl in vista are good pay master, we really thank God for them.

but some of the unseen or not-so-obvious facilities in fact are very very very important, these facilities may not be used so regularly as lift or car barrier, but when it's needed then got to be in good condition, or else, some can be big disaster.

fire fighting facilities: the pump, the control panel, the pipe, the nozzle, the stop valve.... , we have started the upgrading process since few months ago, do see some delay due to the contractor's non-committal attitude, so last month we told him off! we hv got the new contractor to do the jobs, report came back to us that pump & panel are ok, jz some leaking to be fixed, lock for riser room hv installed, but need to replenish the missing nozzle & stop cock/valve, we fix the timeline by end of August the project need to be completed.

drain pipe gutter: if u r a observing person, u should be able to see few gutters from ur balcony, the white color big pipe to drain out rain water from the roof of blk j & k to the drains at ground flr, our worry for the gutter is not much on it's functioning, but it's condition. Some of these gutters hv lost few clip which hold them close to the wall, w/o the clip the gutter will be bent (due to pressure of water, heat of the sun) then once the angle is hitting the limit, it has big chance of falling down! i remember last year before the current batch JMB took over, the gutter in between unit 1 & 3 of blk k break in the middle part, & drop to the ground, damaged a visitor's car door & window, glass smashed, & even pock a big hole on the JMB member's car shade!

last year we did engage a plumber to tighten the clip of gutter, but not so successful coz many residents not letting him to enter their premises to fix it (balcony & master room are the only place can access to the gutter), we did give advance notice but somehow these ppl jz not so cooperative, perhaps we need to try again with different approach.

another area, even though is not consider as facility, but worth mentioning here, is the mosquito problem, now as the dengue cases on the rise, we do engage a pest control vendor to help get rid of mosquito with whatever chemical which is suitable, especially at those semi-circle structure at the end of staircase of each floor, also pay cleaners extra money for them to clear the mud & rubbish found inside there, but we also hope residents won't throw things there, now we r also writing to jabatan kesihatan to arrange for the fogging. (hope they will agree coz they only do that when there's dengue case reported)

safer vista is definitely helps to make it better place for stay, thanks.
