Other Important Reminders and Updates:

  • Our building insurance company notified us that window air conditioners must be properly installed, with angle brackets securing them to the building.  The Board reserves the right to fine owners who do not comply with this requirement.
  • The Super is ensuring that the Condo has working keys to all Units for use in event of an emergency, and may request new keys from particular Units.  Compliance is mandatory.
