Hawaii

Summer

Social

Originally scheduled for Friday,

August 24, Oahu was expected to

feel the effects of Hurricane Lane

that evening so for everyone’s safe-

ty, BOMA Hawaii rescheduled its

Summer Social to Friday, August

31. Held at Velocity Honolulu with

the theme “ A Night in Monte Car-

lo at the Piazza”, this was a snazzy

networking event—attendees were

surrounded by beautiful cars, served

delicious hors d’oeuvres, and signa-

ture cocktails! Attendees participated

in a “Find Your Partner” matching

game where each attendee was given

half a playing card. They were tasked

to find their other half, in doing so,

the pair was awarded a complimen-

tary cocktail!

Jared Okamura, the founder of Innovative Eleva-

tor Consulting, Inc., along with panelists Sandra

Bollozos-Fraticelli, Erin Dayanan, and Julie

Miyashiro gave a joint presentation elevator mod-

ernization.

Okamura, along with the panel, covered the

“W’s” of Modernization: Why is modernization

necessary? Where am I and am I ready? What are

my next steps? and who do I turn to for guidance?

Modernization is essential to maintain high levels

of equipment performance. Julie Miyashiro, the

Property Manager of the Pan Am Building, stated

that breakdowns and repairs were frequent be-

fore elevator modernization. Sandra Bollozos-

Fraticelli, General Manager of Pacific Guardian

Center, echoed this sentiment, stating that she

would need to make service calls for outdated

elevators with obsolete components. This goes

hand-in-hand with higher maintenance costs, as

the knowledge for repairing older elevators slowly

disappears as maintenance workers retire, accord-

ing to Okamura.

While it may seem like a no-brainer to begin ele-

vator modernization, there a few things to consid-

er before beginning the modernization process.

For example, not all elevators are too old to func-

tion! In addition, building managers should review

the maintenance agreement with their elevator

companies, along with its expiration date and

terms for cancelation. The costs of elevator mod-

ernization also include costs associated with code

compliance—updating fire alarm systems, electri-

cal work, air conditioning, emergency power and

more. Thus, it is essential to secure a budget with

financial flexibility in order to move forward.

Initiating a dialogue and securing a contract with

an elevator service company is a process that will

extend months, even years. Panelist Erin Dayanan,

the VP of Property Management at Pacific Proper-

ty Group Inc., stated it took over two years of

interviewing to secure an agreement with a con-

sultant. Details involving serviceability during work

hours, aesthetics of the elevators, operations and

performance all play a factor in this decision-

making process. Yet the investment will last for

decades to come and will enhance the daily lives

of the tenants in the building.

Ka’iwi Nui Yoon, the Architecture Branch Chief at the Department of Land and Natural Resources State of Hawaii gave an eye-opening presenta-tion on navigating the State Historic Preservation Division (SHPD) review

process.

“Hawaii has unique historic resources that showcase our island values, life-style, and culture. Many of these re-sources are now considered historic and preserving this part of Hawaii’s his-tory requires the commitment and col-laboration with many partners. Central to this effort is the State Historic Preservation Division (SHPD).” says

Ka’iwi.

Ka’iwi also shared an extensive

UPCOMING EVENTS

Members of the MD Restoration team,

comprised of Mark Harris, Louis Man-

sanas, Rey Sacros, and Lori Choy gave a

presentation about mitigation, abatement,

and carpet maintenance on July 18, 2018.

Mark Harris, the founder and CEO of MD

Restoration, gave a brief history about the

origins of the company and how it evolved

from a two-man operation to the disaster

restoration behemoth it is today. MD Res-

toration is a locally-owned company that

provides “an array of professional services

… allowing us to get the job done more

efficiently and in a timely manner.”

Asbestos abatement is essential to the

health and safety of building occupants.

Surprisingly, asbestos is still used—in small

amounts—as insulation for pipes and fiber

cement boards. Many buildings construct-

ed pre-1980 contain this deadly mineral,

and the Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA) says asbestos exposure is associat-

ed with lung cancer, mesothelioma, and

asbestosis.

It is also possible to earn a free common

area carpet cleaning with credit obtained

from a non-exclusive or exclusive part-

nership. This credit will cover out-of-

pocket or budgeted expenses for carpet

cleaning.
