Mandatory Access Required for Fire Safety Inspections

Grande North Homeowners & Residents:

We would like to inform the community that our fire and life safety vendor, Siemens, will be onsite Monday, November 30, through Friday, December 4, 2026, to conduct the Association’s mandatory Annual Fire Alarm and Sprinkler Inspections, along with the 5-Year Fire Sprinkler and Pressure-Reducing Valve (PRV) Inspections. These inspections will include testing fire alarms, sprinklers, strobes, and other fire safety equipment throughout the building, including inside ALL residential units. These inspections are required by applicable state and local fire safety regulations to ensure all systems are functioning properly and remain compliant.

In-unit inspections are scheduled for Tuesday, December 1, and Wednesday, December 2, 2026. To complete the required annual fire system inspections and testing, access to EVERY residential unit is mandatory and is not optional. Access to each unit will be needed for approximately 10–20 minutes, with testing beginning at 8:00 AM each day. Inspections will start on the upper floors and progress downward, followed by the townhomes.

We anticipate completing approximately half the building on the first day, with the remaining units inspected on the second day. Please note that the schedule may vary depending on the progress of testing, and Management will provide updates as needed. Schedule below.

CONSENT REQUIRED: Accordingly, please sign a consent form acknowledging receipt of this notice and consenting to allow entry into your unit, or indicating that you will be home to allow the vendor to perform the inspection and test. Please return the signed form to the front desk as soon as possible. You may also email the completed document to thegrandenorth@gmail.com

Please note that should you fail to respond, the Association may be compelled to exercise its emergency powers, pursuant to Article IV, Section 4.3.5 of the Association’s Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs), to gain access to your unit to conduct the mandatory inspections and testing. The Association prefers to expedite this process with your consent, so your prompt response will be greatly appreciated.
