Balboa Towers has an organic waste dumpster for compost materials. Please read the signage on the dumpster carefully — it lists exactly what is and is not accepted.
The following items do NOT belong in the organic dumpster:
Plastic bags of any kind
Dog waste
Cardboard — including Amazon boxes and other delivery packaging
Placing unacceptable items in the organic dumpster creates problems for the entire community and may result in the bin being rejected by the waste hauler.
Acceptable items are listed on the dumpster signage — please take a moment to read it.

Balboa Towers is a pet-friendly community and we love our four-legged residents! However, all dog owners are responsible for cleaning up after their pets — every time, without exception.
Dog waste stations with bags and disposal bins are conveniently located throughout the community. Please use them.
We have children who live and play in our community. Leaving dog waste on the ground is not just unpleasant — it's a health hazard for our youngest neighbors. Please be a considerate neighbor and clean up after your dog.
Failure to clean up after your pet is a violation of community rules and may result in a fine.

Balboa Towers was designed in the 1970s when parking needs looked very different. With 116 units each issued one permanent permit and one guest permit, there are 232 permits for only 82 common area spaces. We understand that parking is a genuine challenge for our community and we acknowledge this reality.
In the meantime, we ask all homeowners to be considerate neighbors:
Use your deeded garage or parking space first before parking in the common area for extended periods
Beyond your deeded space, there is no guaranteed parking in the common area — it is shared by all homeowners equally
Never park on the grass — our irrigation system runs beneath it and can be damaged
Never park in red zones — these are kept clear by law to ensure emergency vehicles can access our streets
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate this together.

The Balboa Towers pool is temporarily closed pending required repairs to the pool fencing and gates. The existing stucco fencing has deteriorated significantly over many years, causing the wrought iron gates to become misaligned and inoperable. By law, the pool cannot reopen until the fencing and gates meet city safety requirements.
This situation didn't happen overnight. Like much of Balboa Towers' infrastructure, the pool area has aged over 50+ years and adequate reserves were not collected in prior years to address the gradual deterioration. Last summer the pool was also closed for an extended period due to a leak and pump failure — another reminder that aging infrastructure requires consistent attention and investment.
The current board could not have predicted that the fencing would become inoperable before this summer. What we can tell you is that replacement of the pool fencing and gates was already included in the approved special assessment capital improvement projects — planned and funded before this summer's closure.
Why hasn't it been fixed yet?
This is a fair question and deserves a straight answer. The board has contacted multiple contractors and encountered a frustrating but real obstacle — there is no clear consensus on whether this project requires a city permit. Some contractors say it does. Others say it depends on the height of the fence. The city's documentation itself has not provided a definitive answer. We cannot responsibly proceed with construction until we know exactly what is required — starting work without the proper permits could result in fines, forced removal of completed work, or further delays.
We are actively working to get a contractor who'll do the work from start to finish and acquire any needed permitting from the city. We will move forward with contractor selection as soon as we have clarity. We will provide updates through our Community Updates page as the project progresses. We ask for your patience and understanding — we are as eager as you are to reopen the pool.
