Condo II – May 2024
Communication with our residents is very important to the Condo II Board of Managers. Many of you have put in work orders to reach the board. Going forward, a more efficient way is to email the condo directly. This way, there is a direct line of contact, and you are not going through the work order system. Please continue to put in work orders for maintenance regarding your unit, i.e. roof leaking, gutters, general maintenance, etc. Please use this email for direct communication with the Board of Managers. Please forward any questions to our email address at Bwcondo2@gmail.com and someone will respond.
The Condo II Board of Managers will also use 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 by phone. You can do this by updating your information with the HOA office.
By now you should have all received in the mail a reminder of the Bretton Woods Condo II common charge policy. It will be strictly enforced beginning May 1st, 2024. It is as follows:
Common charges and assessments (if applicable) are both due on the 1st of each month. You are provided with a grace period to pay by the 10th. After the 10th of the month, these charges will EACH assess a late fee.
Condo II’s policy on common charges is as follows:
If your payment is not made:
By the 10th of the 1st month, you will be assessed a $50 late fee. This will occur every month your payment is late.
By the 10th of the 2nd month, all gate passes, and recreation passes will be rescinded.
By the 10th of the 3rd month, you will be prohibited from parking anywhere on the property and any cars registered to your unit will be towed at the owner’s expense. Your account will also be sent to our attorney for collection, and you will be responsible for all incurred legal fees.
Please remember that it is the homeowner’s responsibility to make sure your account is current. You can request a customer ledger from the HOA office which will tell you the status of your account. If you have any questions, they will be able to assist you with your account.
In regards to work being done at your unit, Condo II requires a licensed and insured contractor to perform said work. A copy of the license and certificate of insurance must be submitted to Condo II prior to work being completed. In addition, our insurance carrier requires that hold harmless agreements are completed by the contractor and submitted to Condo II. These hold-harmless agreements can be emailed to you or your contractor at your request. If the work requires approval from the Condo II Board, please submit your project in advance, and we will get back to you in a timely fashion. If you are unsure and have questions, please feel free to contact us via the Condo II email.
If you would like access to the basement, the basement hours are as follows:
• Saturday, May 11th from 11-11:15am
• Sunday, May 26th from 11-11:15am
If you require access to the basement at another time, please email the board. Once received, you will be contacted and arrangements will be made.
If there are large items that you need disposal of, please make sure they are left near the dumpsters, not leaning up against them or in them. Flooring, carpet, sheetrock, etc., are not permitted in the dumpsters. Boxes need to be broken down as well. This is to prevent the garbage from not being properly picked up as the garbage trucks won’t touch the dumpsters if items are leaning up against them. Maintenance picks up the large items on Mondays and Fridays. Please plan accordingly if possible. Also, please do not throw away paint cans in the dumpsters. Place them on the sides of the dumpsters and maintenance will pick them up and dispose of them properly. Dumpsters that are rented by your unit for approved renovations etc., are permitted in the parking lot closest to your unit.
Please make sure that we are all keeping the dumpster areas and our community clean from trash and litter. Littering is not only unsightly but also disrespectful to your neighbors and the surrounding homes. If everyone does their part, we can keep Condo II looking beautiful and clean.
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.
If you need a handicapped parking space placed in your parking lot, please contact the board of managers with proper documentation so one can be provided for you. Also, if a handicapped parking space isn’t being used in the parking lot, please contact the board of managers to have it removed.
As always, please make sure you are picking up after your dog and placing it in the proper trash receptacle. If you are caught on camera or by a board member not picking up after your dog, further action will be taken. All cats must remain indoors. Bretton Woods does not allow outdoor cats.
This month we will be holding our annual meeting and election in the PA room at 6:30 pm. We look forward to seeing you all there.
