Earthquake Retrofit Alta Lofts Live/Work, HOA Dues and Mills Act Los Angeles

Loft Blog Reader Questions #alta #lofts

Q: Hi Corey, I wanted to see if you could tell me if your Alta Lofts listing will require any seismic upgrading that would trigger HOA increases? Is it a true live/work space? What types of uses are allowed? What are the prohibitions? A: Alta and most other lofts received earthquake retrofits when they were converted to condo residences. I’m not aware of any additional seismic upgrading coming up. The homeowners on the board decide when HOA increases are necessary for any reason. Alta is a live/work loft building. Creative, office, arts, etc. The use must be appropriate for the building, and may not disturb the neighbors. Heavy industry and retail are not allowed. Smoking is not allowed at Alta. Using the gym and social room for customers is not allowed. There are likely other actives not allowed. The HOA may change the rules. CC&Rs are provided during escrow. #losangeles #pollution

Q: Does Zimas say that Alta Lofts are in some kind of pollution zone? A: While Zimas does not show air quality numbers measured at Alta lofts, there are pollution issues all around Downtown Los Angeles. Areas near traffic and freeways have lower air quality than small town, mountain and desert areas. Tests show that air quality issues are moderate at Alta Lofts.

When considering buying, selling, renting or investing in a loft, condo or house, it’s extremely helpful and valuable to know what other buyers, sellers, renters and investors are thinking and doing. Here are this week’s reader questions: #losangeles #lofts #altalofts | Blog Video

Q: What are the dangers of using carpeting on walls?
A: Wall-to-wall carpeting, along with carpeted walls for acoustic or aesthetic purposes are not in fashion right now, but they are probably not quite as unhealthy and unhygienic as some might believe. Carpet was extremely popular from the 1960s to the 1980s, has proven generally safe. Quality carpet can be kept healthy and hygienic with vacuuming and shampooing. Of course, those who appreciate lofts tend to dislike carpet. Most loft lovers prefer polished concrete or hardwood floors.
