Welcome to Paseo Westpark

Management has received an increase in reports of rat activity throughout the community. This is not uncommon, as warmer weather and seasonal changes typically result in increased rodent activity during this time of year. While the Association actively monitors and addresses rodent activity within the common areas, homeowners are encouraged to take proactive steps to protect their own property.

The Association contracts with a licensed pest control vendor that regularly services and maintains rodent bait stations located throughout the common areas. These stations are inspected on a routine schedule and replenished with bait as needed as part of the Association’s ongoing rodent control program. However, because rodents readily travel between common areas and private properties, the Association’s efforts alone cannot eliminate rodent activity throughout the community.

Residents are encouraged to implement rodent abatement measures on their own lots, including:

• Do not leave pet food or water outdoors overnight.
• Keep trash and recycling containers tightly closed.
• Promptly remove fallen fruit, nuts, and other food sources from your yard.
• Store bird seed and animal feed in sealed containers and avoid overfilling bird feeders.
• Clean up after outdoor meals and barbecues.
• Trim dense vegetation and groundcover that can provide shelter for rodents.
• Seal openings around your home, including gaps around pipes, vents, doors, garages, and foundations, to prevent rodents from entering.
• Eliminate standing water whenever possible.

If rodent activity persists on your property, homeowners should consider consulting with a licensed pest control professional to evaluate the situation and recommend appropriate treatment measures.

If you choose to use rodent control products, please do so responsibly. Whenever possible, use enclosed tamper-resistant bait stations or traps and avoid the use of second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides, which can pose a serious threat to hawks, owls, coyotes, bobcats, domestic pets, and other wildlife that prey on rodents.

If you observe significant rodent activity in the Association’s common areas, please notify Action’s Community Care Department with the location and any relevant details so the Association can investigate and determine whether additional pest control measures are warranted.

By working together to reduce food, water, and shelter sources and by taking appropriate preventative measures on individual properties, we can help minimize seasonal rodent activity and maintain a cleaner, healthier community for everyone.

The weather has been beautiful and we know residents are excited to use the Association’s pool areas, especially this upcoming holiday weekend! We wanted to remind residents of the Pool Rules to ensure that everyone has fun while being safe. Some key things to remember are:

• The maximum number of non-resident guests that a resident may bring to the pool area is FOUR PER HOUSEHOLD. This is to ensure that Paseo Westpark residents have access to the facilities that they help pay for and that the pool areas are not overtaken by non-residents.
• Any gathering of 10 people or more is only permitted with an approved reservation through the Association. The reservation form can be downloaded at any time on the Resident Portal.
• Residents may bring a private instructor to a pool area as their guest for the purpose of one-on-one instruction with members of the same household. All individuals receiving lessons must be PWMA residents. The pool areas are private and are not permitted to be used by non-residents for instruction.
• Please keep gates closed at all times and do not prop open.

Titanium Security has been contracted to provide pool monitoring services five days per week from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend to ensure the Pool Rules are adhered to and will alternate between the two pool areas. The pool monitor or another Association representative may approach a person that is suspected of being in violation of the rules to request that they provide proof that they are a Paseo Westpark Maintenance Association resident and/or have an approved reservation. Persons who refuse to comply with the request or cannot provide the necessary information will be asked to leave the pool area. Residents who are in violation of the Pool Rules will be asked to leave the premises and reported to Management and may be subject to the Association’s enforcement and fine policy.

We greatly appreciate your cooperation and understanding and are looking forward to a great summer season! 

If you notice suspicious activity or unauthorized individuals within the common areas, including the Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, Santa Ynez, or Santa Luisa parks, please notify Management with as much detail as possible, including descriptions, location, and approximate timeframes.

If unauthorized activity is actively occurring, residents should contact Action’s Community Care Department at 949-450-0202 so Titanium Security may attempt to dispatch a patrol officer if available.

Please note that camera systems are installed at the Santa Cruz and Santa Clara pool areas and Management can also review fob access records to investigate unauthorized use of amenities.

The Association does not provide security services and residents remain responsible for their own personal safety and security. Any suspected crime in progress or emergency situation should be reported immediately to the Irvine Police Department.
