Please notify the building manager of any moves in advance.
You are responsible for any damage to the premises or person resulting from the actions of your movers. Therefore, we strongly suggest that you engage a reputable moving company.
Central Plaza is a designated non-smoking building by the Oregon Clean Air Act (OR 433.835 – 433.875.) Smoking is prohibited in all public areas of the building including lobbies, corridors, stairwells and rest rooms. Please contact building manager for further information and approved smoking areas.
Please contact the building manager to make arrangements for all lock changes or duplicate key requests, etc.
Pets are not permitted inside of the Central Plaza unless they are ADA defined service animals.
The tenant is responsible for contracting and coordinating janitorial and trash services for their space. If you have any questions, please contact the building manager.
The building has several bike racks located inside the entry of the garage.
The building manager is available to advise you on any aspect of remodeling or refurbishing your work space. Any proposed changes in the physical layout, electrical service, mechanical operation or locks in a tenant’s space must be submitted to the building manager for prior approval. The building manager will coordinate the preparation of any needed drawings, permits, reviews and inspection by local officials to assure compliance with building codes.
The building personnel have a very strict schedule of work to be performed in order to maintain the first-class condition of the building. We are equipped to respond to maintenance and mechanical problems through the use of our pager system to reach our building personnel. In order to eliminate problems for both parties, we ask that each tenant funnel all problems and requests through our main office (contact information listed below).
If for any reason emergency help is needed, please call 911 immediately. If it is not a life threatening emergency and is during normal business hours, one of our staff members can be reached by calling our main office at (503) 223-9203. If for any reason assistance is needed after hours, please call our answering service at (503) 223-9203.
In the event of a medical emergency, call 911 immediately. Be prepared to give the dispatcher the building address and your suite number.
After the 911 call is complete, contact the building manager at (503) 223-9203 to report the medical emergency; this will allow management to have an elevator held at the lobby for the EMS team when they arrive. If time permits, post one person at the lobby elevator to lead the medical team directly to the person in distress.
Please contact the building manager as soon as possible. The building manager will attempt to advise you regarding the length and cause of the power failure as soon as possible. If ordered to evacuate, do not use elevators. Exit calmly through the nearest stairwell.
In the case of an earthquake, keep away from windows and all other glass, free standing partitions or objects that may fall. Crouch under a desk, table or other heavily reinforced object. Be prepared for aftershocks. If it is necessary to evacuate the building, use the stairs and move to an open area away from high-rise structures.
In the event of a bomb threat, record as much information as you can including: what the caller said and their gender, identify any background noise and assess the validity of the call. If possible, ask the caller where the bomb is located, when is it set to go off and what the bomb is contained in.
After receiving the call you should call 911 immediately and provide the dispatcher with complete details of the call. Be sure to identify the building address, your company name and suite number. Next contact our main office at (503) 223-9203 and inform them that you have received the threat and have called 911. The decision to evacuate will be made immediately.
Should a riot or civil disturbance start outside of the building, security personnel will immediately secure all entrances to the building. The police will be notified and building staff will keep tenants informed.
If a disturbance should occur in the main lobby, all elevators will be turned off at the first floor and police will be notified.
In the event that an elevator stops with passengers in it, remember to remain calm. Pressing the emergency call button within the cab will alert the elevator company that the cab is malfunctioning.
In the event of flooding or a water leak, contact our main office immediately at (503) 223-9203. If possible, remove all desktop items and close file drawers to limit damage. Move materials off the floor, if possible. The building staff will turn off the water source and shut down electrical power as needed.
When severe weather conditions become apparent, the U.S. Weather Bureau describes the conditions by two classifications, a watch or a warning. A watch becomes effective when atmospheric conditions are right to produce the particular weather phenomenon. A warning means that the weather condition has been spotted and prompt action must be taken for safety.
Except in very rare circumstances, the decision to evacuate the building based on the above weather reports will not be made by the building staff, but rather by each individual tenant.
