It’s officially autumn, even if California still has plenty of sunshine and warm afternoons! While the air may not be crisp just yet, it’s the perfect time to:

• Add a touch of fall décor to your patio or balcony.
• Refresh your indoor plants and outdoor spaces for the season ahead.
• Check smoke detectors and prep for the cooler evenings that are just around the corner.

Whether you’re sipping iced coffee or waiting for those first cooler nights, we wish everyone in The Lido a safe and beautiful fall season!

Lido Residents,

We hope this message finds you well.

We are writing to bring urgent attention to a matter that affects the safety, wellbeing, and quality of life for all residents of The Lido and the surrounding Mission Valley community. Over the past week, three separate fires have occurred along the San Diego Riverwalk adjacent to our property. These incidents not only pose a severe threat to public safety and property but also underscore the ongoing hazards in the area due to encampments and a lack of consistent enforcement and maintenance.

In light of these alarming events, we strongly encourage all residents to take immediate action by contacting key city officials and local media outlets. Our collective voices can make a powerful impact and help drive the city toward implementing necessary safety measures, increasing patrols, and ensuring that preventive actions are taken.

The California legislature recently passed SB 326 known as the “deck inspection bill”, which requires associations to conduct mandatory inspections to confirm the structural integrity and safety of all deck systems. The Lido Homeowners Association recently retained the services of CM Squared, Inc. (CM²) to complete this mandatory testing.

Testing will take place 7/8 through 7/19, 8am-5pm each weekday. A sampling, out of all Lido balconies and walkways, was chosen for this inspection/testing. ONLY UNITS WHO HAVE RECEIVED A SEPARATE EMAIL, FROM THE OFFICE, WILL NEED TO REMOVE ITEMS FROM THEIR BALCONY OR PROVIDE ACCESS. If you have not been notified separately, regarding removing items from your balcony, you are not required to do anything further.

This email serves only to ensure all Lido residents are aware of this project. If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know.

Thank you,

The Lido Management Team
