Condo II – August 2026
’’August is here — ushering in the end of summer and painting the world in the warm hues of sunflowers and sunset skies! It’s a month that feels slow and easy as we savor the heat and begin to settle back into our routines.’’
We hope this Bretton Woods News finds you all well and enjoying the best of summer. As we welcome August, we’d like to share a few seasonal reminders and helpful tips for keeping our community safe.
Communication with our residents is very important to the Condo II Board of Managers. Please forward any questions to our email address at Bwcondo2@gmail.com, and someone will get back to you. Please allow a few business days for a response, as we are all volunteers. Also make sure that in your email is a correct phone number where someone can reach you, as well as your full name and unit number.
As a reminder, there is NO assigned parking in Condo II. Vehicles must have a visible valid handicap placard in order to park in handicap spaces. Vehicles are not permitted to park in no parking zones. Please pay attention to the signs posted around the condo. Also, all vehicles must have a valid registration and inspection stickers affixed to the car. Residents violating any of the above will be stickered and/or towed without warning at the owner’s expense.
The Condo II Board of Managers utilizes the blast call system for important information regarding our condo. Please make sure you are enrolled in the blast call system with a current phone number, so you can receive these important messages. In addition, please make sure that your phone numbers are correct on our customer master list, in the event the board needs to reach you for an important matter or emergency by phone. You can do this by updating your information with the HOA office.
If you would like access to the basement, the basement hours are as follows:
• Second Saturday of every month from 11-11:15am
• Fourth Sunday of every month from 11-11:15am
As a responsible dog owner, you MUST pick up after your dog. Leaving dog feces on the ground is a significant health hazard. Dog feces can contain pathogens that may carry diseases that can make people and other dogs sick. It also damages the grass and plants and is destroying the ambiance of our common areas. Anyone caught violating this rule will be subject to fines and/or gate and recreational passes being rescinded.
According to our By-Laws, article III, section 6, states that all plumbing stoppages shall be done by the homeowner at their own expense, if you have a plumbing backup, you may call maintenance. They will assess the situation and let you know if the matter is something they can fix or if you will need to call a plumber. Any plumber doing work in any of our buildings must be licensed and insured. You can avoid unnecessary clogs, backups, and plumbing bills by not putting things down the drains or flushing Items that don’t belong. Flushable wipes may say they are flushable, but they clog our septic system. Grease and other household items also do not belong down the drain.
While using your barbecue, it must be at least 10 feet away from the building and fence. Please remember that charcoal grills, tiki torches, and fire pits are strictly prohibited.
In regard to fire prevention, remember that it is your responsibility as a homeowner to clean and maintain your dryer vents and furnaces. It is mandatory to have these cleaned and inspected. Please submit the proper paperwork to the Condo II Board. It is also a good time to check the expiration dates of your fire extinguishers, any extra smoke and/or carbon monoxide detectors, and replace them if needed. It is imperative that we all do our part in keeping this community safe. If you hire an outside company to clean your dryer vents, the Condo board requires a copy of their license and insurance prior to the date of cleaning. If you have any questions regarding this, please email the condo.
Please look for upcoming information about the annual fire alarm inspection that will take place in October.
To help reduce mosquito activity, please eliminate standing water from flowerpots, birdbaths, basins, and other outdoor containers, as stagnant water provides an ideal breeding environment.
