ATTENTION BIKE OWNERS
Bikes that are currently stored in the Renaissance 2230 Bike Room are required to obtain a NEW registration sticker. Residents have until May 26th to visit the Management Office and complete the registration form (no fee apply) to receive the new registration sticker for their bicycle.
After May 27th, bikes without the new registration sticker will be considered abandoned. These bikes will be removed and donated to a charitable foundation on June 2010.
President's Pen, May - 2010
Hi Everyone!
I hope you are all enjoying the changes in the weather. While summer hasn’t fully arrived, it is definitely on the horizon. I can smell that the BBQs at the back of the property are in full use. I am sorry that I will not able to join the picnic at the BBQ area (Thank you, Lauren!) tonight. I am sure that I will miss a fun time.
A number of residents and owners have voiced concern about an on-going association with CFM Management. While exploring our options and determining a best path forward, CFM notified the Board that they are not interested in continuing to provide their service to the Renaissance. The Board has met to prepare the strategy for soliciting and contracting with a new management company. This effort will take several months to complete – potentially into autumn. In addition to finding a new management company, the Board will also be seeking a new site manager and finalizing the issues associated with the power outage. The Board will not be undertaking any new projects until these major issues have been resolved.
I don’t have much news to report on the Grand Adventure that was our fire and subsequent power outage. We are still waiting for the final report from the Forensics Investigation. That means that there remains no responsible party identified. Once the report has been delivered to us, we will make the results known. Your insurance companies will probably be interested. Also, we have compiled a list of power outage related expenses that were not part of our budget. We will attempt to recoup those expenses as part of our insurance claim.
The Operations Committee provided an analysis of the towing survey results at the last Board meeting. At the May meeting, the Board voted to change the towing policy. First, towing will continue during the week. From 5:00 pm Fridays until 9:00 am Mondays, towing will be suspended. Second, visitors will be given a seven-day pass regardless of how short the visit will be. Finally, residents will have the option of providing their automobile information for a list to be used by the towing company. The towing company will not tow any car that is registered on this list, even if the tag is not visible. The list will have the make, model, color, and license plate number. To add your information to the list, you will need to show the registration for your car and your Renaissance ID Card. The list will provide a measure of protection against the towing of resident vehicles. The changes to towing hours will go into affect soon. The list of cars will take a bit longer. Watch the bulletin boards and website for the final date of transition, details on the process to submit your automobile’s information, and location of updated rules.
I would like to remind everyone that to register complaints, your first recourse is to notify the Management Office. If you are not satisfied with the response, please send a note to the Board using the email address on the website.
Finally, the Landscape Committee will be reconvening in the near future. This committee has an open Chair position. Watch for notices on details for upcoming events.
Heather
Please be aware that the property grass will be sprayed with fertilizer on Thursday morning (5/20) beginning at 8:00 a.m.
The Association recommends ALL pets avoid the grass for a 48-hour period.
Thank you!
Dear Residents,
For your convenience three local census representatives will be in the conference room on Saturday, May 8th, 2010 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.
Please stop by if you have not mailed your 2010 Census forms on time.
Dear Residents,
Our Winter pool is closed for the season. Pool will be open for summer season on Saturday May 29th.
Summer Pool Hours:
Monday - Sunday 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
TIME TO CHANGE
YOUR AIR FILTERS
Your air filters should be changed at least every 3 to 4 months. Dirty filters are the number one cause of air conditioning service calls. They block the airflow to the evaporator coil and cause it to freeze. Once frozen, no air passes through, and your condo will become warm. A dirty filter also makes the A/C work harder, which uses more electricity.
Air filters are for sale in the Renaissance Market and in the Management Office.

From the President’s Pen –
Welcome home to all the Renaissance Residents! It has been a strange and difficult path, but I think the end is in sight for returning home. However, work remains. The Operations’ Committee Task Force was tasked 29 March to document lessons learned from the event. The Board awaits their report. I encourage all residents and owners to contribute to that report. This is an opportunity to recognize what worked and what didn’t, plus offer suggestions for improvements. The Board is working on its own list. I would like to start by thanking the excellent efforts of Boris and Manual, Luis and Carol, plus the Triton Security team. Without their efforts, our progress would have been severely impeded.
In our absence, work continued at the building. The Cleaning Crew took advantage of the reduced traffic to undertake some major projects including window washing in the elevator lobbies and heavy cleaning of the hallway carpets. The landscapers took care of the trees that had been damaged by the winter storms. They also cleared away a copse of trees and brush that impeded a storm drain on the southeast side of the property. The effort to modernize our fire detection system continues on schedule. Finally, the retaining wall on the western edge of our property continues to take shape giving me hope that the sound wall along I-495 is not far from installation.
The Board has resumed its work. At the top of the list is identifying all the expenses – overtime, security, temporary power, etc. – related to the fire and repairs and then working with our counsel and insurers to collect what we can. Minutes for emergency meetings have been posted to the owner’s section of the website. We will soon begin to review contracts for replacing fire sprinkler heads in units. As you recall, a previous attempt was ended when the chosen contractor could not meet conditions set by the Board. The Board has also begun our evaluation of how to replace the property manager. The position is currently held on an interim basis by Carol Botkin. I encourage you to take the time to meet her if you haven’t already.
Finally, I would like to thank those of you who reached out to me with your support and thanks over the last few weeks.
TWO IMPORTANT UPDATES
FRIDAY, APRIL 16, 2010
REFRIGERATORS
Beginning on Monday, April 19th at 8:00am, the general contractor will be installing the first delivery of standard refrigerators from GE. We are expecting 33 units.
The installation will begin on the 12th floor and move downward until all refrigerators received are delivered to the units.
On Tuesday, April 20th at 8:00am, the second batch of standard refrigerators will be delivered and installation will continue on the remaining floors.
Those owners that have approved their non-standard replacement refrigerators have been, or will be, advised on the status of their unit individually.
It is imperative that there is at least 3.5 feet of clearance for the refrigerator to be delivered. It has to be brought through the living room, dining room and into the kitchen through the larger kitchen doorway. ( I t will not fit through the opening closest to the front door.)
If you have furniture or other objects in the way of the 3.5 ft. clearance needed, you must move the items prior to the refrigerator being delivered. The general contractor will not move personal belongings.
ELECTRICAL SERVICE DISRUPTION
FLOORS 1 THROUGH 6
On TUESDAY, APRIL 20TH FROM 9AM THROUGH 5PM, floors 1 – 6 will have no electrical power while Mona electricians install the permanent power and remove the temporary power source.

Great News!
Power has been restored to the building! The County has approved the restoration of power to units. Please read the following carefully to understand how to activate the power to your unit.
1. Ensure that your refrigerator is NOT going to be replaced. The list can be found at the front desk or in the owner's section of the website. If your refrigerator is going to be replaced, power will not be restored to your unit until the appliance has been removed. Due to the extremely fast restoration of power, the condemned refrigerators have not yot been removed.
2. Add your name to the sign-in sheet at the front desk. You must do this in person and have your Ren2230 ID card. Starting Sunday, 11 April, power will be restored from 9 - 5, on a FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE basis.
3. You must be in your unit when the power is being restored.
This process will be adjusted as we identify improvements. Please adhere to guidance of the Front Desk Guards.
More information about condemned refrigerators is available at the front desk.
Thanks to everyone in advance for your patience as refine this process.

Construction Update
The replacement buss pieces arrived yesterday, and Mona began work right away. Mona will be working non-stop until the replacement parts are installed. Repairs were made to two of the damaged condos. Damaged hallway drywall has also been restored. The inspection of refrigerators is complete. Refrigerators will be identified as salvageable or replaced. A report is expected today with the specifics.

Dear Residents of The Renaissance,
Cox is aware of the electrical problems you are having at your community. We want to insure you that we will work in coordination with your Property Management and Dominion VA Power to get things up and running as quickly as possible once the power returns. In the interim, we suggest that you:
• Do not disconnect your service and close your account, particularly if you have Cox phone, as you might lose your assigned phone number.
• Once you are home again, feel free to call any of the numbers below with any questions regarding your account.
As your friend in the digital age, we’re sympathetic to your situation, and hope you’ll be back at home very soon.

Project Update
Minkoff and Mona were on site at 6:30 am to begin the disassembly of the damaged electrical system. The Mona teams worked over 18 hours to prepare the building for the installation of new equipment. The replacement parts, shipped from Square D on 6 April, is scheduled to arrive at the Renaissance early 8 April.
Work will begin 8 April in coordination with unit owners to repair units damaged at the time of the fire.
Work on the Refrigerators progresses. The Insurance company has covered the cost of an professional hygienist to evaluate all refrigerators in the building. Of the five floors surveyed, 13 have been identified as needing replacement and 89 require professional cleaning before a final determination is made.
April 7,2010
ATTENTION: MANDATORY EMERGENCY ACCESS TO ALL 332 UNITS SCHEDULED FOR THIS AFTERNOON
We have just been informed that a professional hygienist hired by our General contractor, Minkoff Company, will be onsite this afternoon and must have access to ALL units to inspect the refrigerators, even if you cleaned yours out prior to departing the building. We must get an accurate count on how many refrigerators need to be ordered so that they arrive prior to each of you returning home when we have power.
The insurance coverage is only for the replacement value of the refrigerator that was originally conveyed with the unit. If you have upgraded your appliance, then you will have to file a claim for the monetary difference with your insurance company or pay out of pocket if you chose.
We apologize for the short notice, but the repair process has begun and is moving along at a fast pace.
If you have any questions, please contact the Management Office via email at manager@Ren2230.com or telephone at 571-722-0901.

Critical Issue: Refrigerators
It is critical that you take action regarding your refrigerator and its contents if you have not done so already.
Ideally, you have emptied your refrigerator of all its contents and left the door open so the interior can breathe. If you have not, any organic material inside your closed refrigerator is now undergoing an unpleasant turn from spoiling to decomposing. It is not something that you will likely care to deal with.
As a result, Renaissance is hiring a contractor to dispose of the contents of your refrigerator, and either seal the refrigerator for later disposal or ventilate the refrigerator for future use. This will happen as soon as possible, hopefully tomorrow Saturday, April 3.
If you would like Renaissance to provide this service to you, please complete the attached form click here. If you are confident that you have no issues with your refrigerator or its contents, please note your name and unit owner and write "No Issues" on your form
Operations Committee Meeting Minutes from March 30, 2010
RENAISSANCE DRY CLEANERS TEMPORARY HOURS:
Until power is restored to the building, the dry cleaners will be open as follows:
Monday - Friday / 4:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.

ELECTRICAL UPDATE - MONDAY, MARCH 29TH 11:42 A.M.
TownePlace Suites by Marriot in Falls Church has extended an $89 rate for a 30 day or more stay and $109 for less than 30 days. They accept pets for a one-time fee of $100.
Feel free to contact Bobby Bellinger at 703-237-6172 to discuss this offer in more detail.
Fairfax County has now twice considered closing the building entirely. We need your help so that does not occur:
• Remove any extension cords from your unit into the hallway by noon tomorrow. There will be no power to the hallway receptacles during non-business hours effective March 31.
• Do not use any cooking devices or generators on your balcony. They require flammable fuel and are prohibited.
• Verify that your smoke detectors have battery backup (the norm at Renaissance) and check your batteries. If your smoke detectors have been replaced and do not have battery backup, you should install at least one battery powered smoke detector.
We appreciate the need for residents to come and go freely from their homes and want to maintain that freedom. Fairfax County, and therefore Management, can not allow residents to continue living in an UNINHABITABLE unit, even temporarily. If we continue to see evidence that residents are living in their unit, we are required to take additional steps to prevent that from occurring.
Effective immediately, we request that all residents visiting the building sign in upon arrival and sign out upon departure, at the front desk.
ELECTRICAL UPDATE - SUNDAY, MARCH 28TH 7:13 P.M.
Thank you all for your patience and forebearance as we deal with the recent fire and subsequent electrical problems. I know that everybody has many questions and ideas. The Board and the Management Office will share information when we can with everyone. Watch the website for information and updates. This evening, the Board and CFM met to review the damage and to discuss the issues before us. Please remember that when you receive an email from HOA, you are receiving our most up-to-date information.
Communication and Collaboration
The Board is monitoring the email chains and receiving email at the BOD email (check the website for details). Please send us your suggestions. 29 March at 8 pm, the Board will hold a Town Hall Meeting in the building lobby. This is open to Owners and Residents. I encourage all to attend. The Board will provide the information we have available.
I would also request that, for this situation, you try not to assume the worst. Each of us, Board member and non-board member, has been displaced and faces the same challenges and urgencies. Your staff and board are working long hours and navigating an evolving and unfolding terrain of information.
Impacts of Individuals vs Board/Management Company Contacting Fire Marshall
CFM and the Board are working with various parties at the County – including the Fire Department and Inspectors – and with our vendors. PLEASE DO NOT contact these organizations on behalf of the Renaissance2230. A call today (Sunday, 28 March 28) to the Fire Marshall’s Office resulted in a visit by a Fire Inspector who issued a Notice of Violation. As a result, the following steps are required of all residents:
• Do not use extension cords plugged into hallway outlets. On 31 March, the Management Office will be tracking any users who will be assessed penalties.
• Candles are not to be used.
• Generators and open flames are not allowed on the balconies. Both the fuel and the CO2 are hazards.
Those violating the above which are misdemeanors are subject to being charged up to $2500 per violation and/or 1 year imprisonment. Any fees assessed to the building because of resident actions will be assessed to that resident. The building has been declared UNINHABITABLE. You should not be living at the Renaissance. The building is ACCESSIBLE for managing your affairs. Any notice of violation may result in the building be declared INACCESIBLE to all – no access to the building, to your mail or to your unit.
Investigation
The Management Office and CFM are working with engineers, electricians, electrical equipment providers, and insurance inspectors to evaluate the cause and the remedy. The Forensic Investigator from the Insurers has assumed responsibility for evaluating the cause of the problem. We do not have a time estimate for when that report will be available. We are working with the manufacturer of the bus and our electrician to determine the steps forward. Tomorrow (Monday, 29 March), CFM will follow up with their engineer and seek a second opinion.
Assistance and Office of Emergency Management
During the fire, the Board, the Management Office and CFM opened conversation with Fairfax County Office of Emergency Management and the Red Cross. We continue to interact with the Office of Emergency Management. Once we receive estimates and recommendations from the experts and governing bodies, we will develop a plan of action. We will work with OEM to determine the benefits available to residents. At this time, we are unable to predict when we can have this conversation.
Alternative Power Source Research
Tomorrow, the Management Office will begin investigating options for alternative power sources. In addition to feasibility, we need to determine cost, permit requirements, inspection requirements, and engineering requirements, plus maintenance concerns. If this is deemed feasible, we will establish a process to reoccupy the building.
Recap of the Event
For those of you missed Friday morning, I would like to offer a few details. One estimate is that we had 20 Fire trucks on the property, including a mobile command center. We, also, had at least 8 fire trucks staged at Marshall High School in case of emergency. In addition to Fairfax and Arlington County Fire Departments, the Dunn Loring and Vienna Volunteer Fire Departments were on site. The Red Cross arrived around 5 am to help determine our immediate needs. When you next consider your charitable contributions, you might remember these groups who came to our aid.
Watch for regular updates as we have new information to share.
ELECTRICAL OUTAGE UPDATE - 5:00 P.M. SATURDAY, MARCH 27
The manufacturer of the damaged electrical equipment inspected it this morning.
The equipment that was damaged only by water can not be used, and must be replaced. Units on floors 1-5 therefore will not have electricity restored on Tuesday as thought, but will remain without power along with the units on the other floors.
Much more equipment will need to be replaced than anticipated. The time for the equipment to arrive is now estimated at 2 weeks and installation is estimated at 2 weeks or more.
All residents should anticipate a lack of power for 30 days or more. Everyone involved is fully aware of the hardships this will cause and working diligently to reduce these estimates.
ELECTRICAL OUTAGE UPDATE - 3:00 P.M. FRIDAY, MARCH 26
Please find attached a detailed letter regarding the electrical explosion that occured on March 26, 2010. This attachment also includes a letter from Fairfax County declaring the dwelling units at the Renaissance 2230 uninhabitable until power is restored.
ELECTRICAL OUTAGE - 7:00 A.M. FRIDAY, MARCH 26
Electrical power to floors 6 – 12 will probably not be restored for 14 days or more. The power for Floors 1 - 5 should be restored by Tues, March 30th.
The building will remain open with the fire protection system fully functioning so you will be able to enter your unit as needed.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Contact your insurance agent to see if your individual policy will cover temporary housing accommodations.
Test your smoke detector batteries to ensure they are operating
If you choose to stay in your unit until power is restored, use extreme caution when burning candles
You will not have hot water so Spring Hill Recreation Center has opened their shower facilities to our residents. Please bring your own towel and toiletries as they are not provided. Their address is:

BIKE ROOM REGISTRATION
As the spring weather approaches, we will be cleaning and organizing the Renaissance 2230 Bike Room. In order to successfully execute this project, we will need your cooperation by registering any bike that you may have stored in the association’s Bike Room.
Attached is the new Bike Room Annual Registration Form. Please complete the form and return it to the Management Office no later than Thursday, April 1st. Once we receive the form, we will process it and a bike registration sticker will be placed under your door to be displayed on your bike. To avoid any confusion, please remove any old bike registration stickers as they will no longer be valid.
Please remember the deadline for all bike registrations is Thursday, April 1st. Unregistered bikes will be considered abandoned and will be removed from the room shortly after this deadline to allow space for our current residents. Arrangements will be made to donate these abandoned bicycles to a local charitable foundation (suggestions are welcome).
MOST COMMON WORK ORDERS
Faucet leaking? Toilet running?
Attached is a list of the most common work orders and a general cost description. Keep in mind that using in-house maintenance can save you money in most cases. To receive maintenance service, you can complete a Maintenance Request Form and submit it to the Management Office. Please contact the office if you have any specific maintenance questions. Thank you!
RESPONSE TO OWNER QUESTIONS
The Board of Directors received a list of various questions from residents that were concerning the pending replacement sprinkler project and other matters. Please see the "OWNER DOCUMENTS" page of this website for the list of questions and their answers.
SURVEY ON PARKING ISSUES (TOWING, VISITOR PASSES, SECURITY)
Striking the right balance between building security, convenience, and ensuring ample parking spots is a tricky problem. A number of owners and renters have expressed their displeasure with the current Renaissance 2230 towing policy. In an effort to improve the current towing policy, the Board of Directors, Operations Committee, and Towing Committee, would like your feedback to help us find the best towing policy moving forward.
Please help us find a towing solution by filling out the attached survey. It should only take a few minutes of your time. Please complete and return to the Management Office by March 31, 2010. Thank you for your feedback.
PRESIDENT'S PEN - FEBRUARY 2010
Renaissance Email Communications:
If you are a resident or non-resident Owner, make sure that you have registered as a user on the website as this adds you to the HOA distribution list.
PENDING LANDSCAPING CHANGES:
Fairfax County came to inspect the storm drains on the Renaissance property. As a result of the inspection, we learned we have a drain on the grassy area southeast of the parking lot - the pond area near the walking path. The inspection report identified the need to clear the bushes, shrubs, and trees from certain areas. In the next few weeks, as the weather permits, a contractor will remove what needs to go. We are currently soliciting bids from landscaping companies.
