Vestibulum semper
Welcome to the Oceansound Community Website!
Well with it being the “dog days of summer” in South Florida, not a lot is happening
around Oceansound. However, I do have a few updates that you may not yet be aware
of.
Elevators’ Modernization
Following the elevators’ modernization, we have learned that our prior procedures for helping residents if they are ever caught in an elevator that is stopped between floors are not in keeping with the procedures and codes applicable to our new elevators.
Essentially, should one of these rare incidents occur, we must wait for certified professional help to effect the extraction. Or more specifically - only Fire Rescue personnel, or our Otis elevator service provider’s designated on-call technicians, can now perform these functions; our own people are no longer allowed to do so.
The new elevators are equipped for constant monitoring by Otis; therefore if such
a situation develops, Otis will notify their on-call people, as well as our Security
personnel and Key Biscayne Fire/Rescue. Anyone in such a situation inside our elevators
will be in voice contact with Otis via the installed telephone system in every cab.
Furthermore, we are in the process of installing a visual system, one which will
display in real-time the position of every elevator to our Security personnel at
their duty desk, as well as alert Security of any anomalies.
New Entertainment System for Party Room
Looking ahead to the very near future, we are in the process of upgrading the entertainment system in our Party Room with the latest from Bose – a Lifestyle V35. Perhaps the most salient feature of the new system is its intuitive operation, which should prove“orders of magnitude” easier to learn/use.
Once we have the new entertainment system installed and programmed, we will put out a notice as well as update the instructions on the wall of the party room with what we learn. Although our current system has proven popular, and has provided us with superbly consistent entertainment value, our sense is that this new one should prove a quantum improvement…and therefore be in keeping with our Oceansound’s philosophy – if affordable, always try to move ahead with what makes life (a little) better.
