Improving Aquarius: items in the Ground Floor requiring attention

Suggested few improvements that would enhance AQUARIUS:  November 2025

This document outlines several required maintenance and aesthetic improvements for the Aquarius Ground Floor, focusing on safety, hygiene, and visual appeal. Addressing these items will significantly enhance the resident and guest experience.

I. Garage and Parking Area Maintenance

These items require immediate attention to maintain safety and visual standards within the parking structure.

• Garage Pedestrian Door (Aesthetics & Durability):
  • The multiple patches on the door create a highly visually unappealing appearance.
  • Recommendation: Install a new wire to mitigate future damage and eliminate the need for further patchwork. This should be a relatively low-cost solution.
• Water Leak (Safety & Structure):
  • A persistent water leak next to parking space #100 has been observed for several months and requires immediate repair to prevent structural issues or slip hazards.
• Floor Markings and Signage (Safety & Compliance):
  • The garage signage flooring requires a fresh coat of paint to enhance visibility.
  • Action: Install maximum speed limit signs throughout the garage to ensure pedestrian and vehicular safety.
• Parking Number Repainting (Clarity):
  • The parking numbers on both the car stoppers and the overhead markings are faded and need professional repainting for clarity.
• Car Stopper Cleaning (Aesthetics):
  • The car stoppers require a thorough cleaning to improve the overall appearance of the garage.
• South Wall Paint Repair (Aesthetics):
  • The South wall of the garage has several unintentional black marks, which are an unsightly distraction.
  • Recommendation: Apply a fresh coat of paint to the affected area. This is a minimum-cost and minimum-time solution with a great improvement in appearance.

II. Ceiling and Overhead Structures

These tasks will improve lighting, aesthetics, and structural longevity.

• Ceiling Pipes (Aesthetics & Preservation):
  • The exposed ceiling pipes require a power wash followed by a new coat of protective paint to prevent corrosion and improve visual appeal.

III. Beach Access and Walkway Enhancements

These improvements are crucial for minimizing sand intrusion, maintaining hygiene, and ensuring safety.

• Beach Access Door (Functionality & Aesthetics):
  • The door leading directly to the sand area should be replaced due to its current condition.
  • Interim Recommendation: A temporary paint touch-up should be applied until a full replacement can be scheduled.
• Entrance Mats (Hygiene & Sand Mitigation):
  • The path from the beach to the building entrances previously utilized 15–20 mats; currently, only two remain.
  • Action: Purchase and deploy additional entrance mats to significantly reduce the amount of sand tracked into the building.
• Sand Covered Walkways (Safety & Hygiene):
  • The two access points from the beach are frequently covered in sand, creating slip hazards and increasing sand tracking inside the building.
  • Action: Implement a scheduled process for cleaning these access points 4–5 times daily. This is a simple but vital task for hygiene and safety. This responsibility could be assigned to the beach attendant, cleaning crew, or security staff. It has been noted that the beach attendant could easly take care of this task.

IV. West Parking Lot Improvements

These items address specific structural and drainage issues in the West Parking Lot.

• West Parking Lot Fence Repair (Security):
  • The chains on the West Parking lot fence are currently broken. Replacement appears to be a simple, necessary task to restore security.
• West Parking Lot Ponding Mitigation (Drainage):
  • To reduce constant water ponding on the pavement, the adjacent grass areas should be lowered a few inches below the level of the pavement. This small grading adjustment will allow water accumulation on the pavement to be more readily absorbed by the soil.
