Following the power outage that happened last week at The Carlyle and throughout other areas of the Wilshire Corridor, we want to remind all residents that the only areas the emergency generator will keep lit during a power outage of any kind is the unit foyer and service hallways. It will not supply power for other areas in your units. If you have any questions, please contact management and we will be happy to help!
Are you ready for some “Spring Cleaning”? If you are “tidying” up and notice you have lots of extra files and documents lying around that you don’t want to keep taking up more space, but they have sensitive information and you can’t just throw them in the trash, we can definitely help!
We work with Williams Data Management, a professional company that offers shredding, storage, and other organizational services in both a residential and office setting. They come to you with their mobile shredding truck and you can watch them lift the burden off your shoulders and free up more space in your home!
If you are in need of their shredding services, please contact Rocky David, Assistant Manager, at 310-474-0649 or rdavid@actionlife.com, and he will be happy to set up your appointment!

Noise Reminder
We want to send a friendly reminder that moving furniture, walking while wearing heels, or playing loud music could be heard by your neighbors, especially during the late evening and nighttime hours. We kindly ask to consider your neighbors and try to minimize these occurrences. We have learned that adding small felt pads to furniture legs, removing loud shoes in the foyer, and lowering the volume at appropriate times could reduce the noise.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Concierge.

Valet Reminder
In an effort to provide excellent service for all residents in the community, we would appreciate your assistance by calling the Front Desk or texting Zingle at 310-245-7763 for your, or your guest’s vehicle, at least 15 minutes before it is needed, and we will be sure to have it in the driveway waiting for you. Please keep in mind, if you do text for your car, to make sure to include your unit #, which car you need and to wait until you receive a confirmation back from Zingle.
Unfortunately, driveway space is limited, so please know that typically we can only keep vehicles in the driveway for up to 15 minutes. If your vehicle has not been moved, we may have to return it to the garage in order to make room for additional vehicles.
These general time limits also apply when you are returning home and would like to keep your vehicle in the driveway. If you anticipate being longer than 15 minutes, or you have asked for your vehicle to be left in the driveway and more that 15 minutes have passed, the valet team will park your vehicle in the garage. At which time, please call the front desk when you are ready to leave, and we will promptly bring up your vehicle.
Thank you for helping us provide everyone in the community with excellent service by being mindful of the limited space we have in the driveway.
Thank you for your cooperation!
