Dear Leffingwell Creek Homeowners,

PLEASE REMEMBER TO MAKE YOUR ASSESSMENT CHECKS PAYABLE TO:

LEFFINGWELL CREEK HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION (and not to the accounting or management firms or anyone else even though you are mailing the checks to the accounting firm at 4725 E. Anaheim St., Long Beach, CA 90804.) Still, the check is made payable to LEFFINGWELL CREEK HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION.

Also, Bank Bill Pay IS acceptable, but Bank Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) is NOT ACCEPTABLE, as our system will not handle it so please make sure with your bank which system they are using. If you want us to write a note to your bank to this effect, please let us know and we will be happy to help.

Our administrative procedures for 2012 at Leffingwell Creek are as follows:

You are a self-governing homeowners association. The association is adminstered by an elected Board of Directors and any committees they appoint.

Assisting with administration are those handling financial reporting and management consulting. Your association also retains vendors who do workin the common area.

Financial Reporting for our association is handled by the bookkeeping firm of L. E. Jacobson and Company, Inc.. You receive monthly billings and any related financial notices from that firm.  Any assessment payments are to be made payable to the order of Leffingwell Creek Homeowners Association in care of  L. E. Jacobson and Company, 4725 E. Anaheim St., Long Beach, CA 90804-3123. 

Should you have any questions about your account or other association matters do not hesitate to call L. E. Jacobson and Company, at 562-597-3390, and such matters will be addressed to the appropriate person for handling.

For any life threatening emergencies, please call 911.

For law enforcement, because Leffingwell Creek is located in the unincorporated section of Los Angeles County known as “South Whittier”, please call the Norwalk Sheriff Station at 562-863-8711.

For plumbing or electrical maintenance emergencies, whether occurring daytime, after hours or weekends, please call John Hodruff who is your neighbor in South Whittier and is licensed for these projects. John’s number is 562-773-1911.

Management consulting is done by Marjorie S. Campbell, a Certified Property Manager, and pioneer in the condominium management industry; and Robert

Campbell, BA, JD, CMCA, a Certified Manager of Common Interest Developments (CIDs).

If you cannot reach John and/or for any other maintenance emergencies occurring after 5pm weekdays or on weekends, homeowners may call Marjorie or Robert at  (562) 434-9867. Appropriate local vendors will be dispatched where the emergency appears to be the responsibility of or impact the common area.

If the call appears to concern a unit-to-unit problem or a problem caused from within a unit, please be aware that charges occurring from solving the problem are likely to be charged back to the responsible unit owner(s), depending on the facts of the incident as confirmed by an expert.  

Because of  the need for access to units in case of maintenance emergencies and for other reasons, please complete the Emergency Contact Information Form, below,  and return it to the following special mailing address, Leffingwell Creek Homeowners Association, 5318 E. 2^nd St. #262, Long Beach, CA 90803, or to the Jacobson address above, or to your association’s new email address: leffingwellsaranac@gmail.com
