Property Management Minute

Dog Walking

The P4 level has recently had a number of instances of residents “walking” their
dog down to P4 and allowing them to go to the bathroom inside the garage. This
is an obvious issue that needs to stop. As much as we’ve asked you to not allow
your dogs to urinate on the tree boxes for the health of the trees, using P4 as
their potty point is also a no go. The stench and smell is lingering on P4. Please
walk your dog outside and away from the building.

Washer and Dryers

A question recently arose about washer and dryers. A brief reminder that we
have condensation dryers and not vented dryers. We have no traditional venting
for a dryer, only a vent meant to take out the humidity from the condensation.
Hooking up a dryer to that vent and flooding it with lint could cause a building fire
and your unit insurance would be responsible to repair the entire building. There
are a number of sellers of condensation dryers on the market - Bosch isn't the
only player in that game. Consider the size of the space before you purchase.
While the space may fit a washer/dryer that is larger, the door isn't that big.

A Copy of Insurance

The Board will be requesting a copy of everyone's insurance policy for their unit
to keep on file. We will do this on an annual basis on the first of January. More
details to come in the October Newsletter.

Kitchen Drains

As the building ages, we have been noticing an increase of back-ups on the main
drain line throughout the building. The main culprit is food scraps, which may
hinder proper draining, and lead to a back-up in your unit.

In order prolong the health of our building’s plumbing system, please try not to
put the flowing items down the regular drains:

 Food scraps
 Grains (e.g., lentils, rice, beans, oatmeal)
 Grease
Oven Cleaning

We also wanted to touch base on the cleaning of the ovens. In order to prevent
smoke and smells from occurring and moving into the common areas, we kindly
ask that you utilize the self-cleaning option on your oven. If you have any
questions on how to perform this cleaning, please don’t hesitate to contact the
front desk.

Parking of Non-registered Cars

There is now a form at the front desk should you need to park an unregistered
car in your spot, rather than take off your sticker. It asks for the parking spot
number, the unit number and name and dates inclusive of the projected parking.
The option is yours.

New to the Building - Put Your Home on the Tour

If you're new to our building, be it resident or owner, welcome. The front desk can
assist you with a myriad of tasks. Our annual meeting is held in the first two
weeks of December. We traditionally end that meeting with a tour of four homes
at about 20 minutes each. We pull our party bell cart from place to place and you
get a chance to see one of our 37 different floor plans. If you'd like to be on the
tour this year, please don't hesitate to shoot us a note.
