Condo II – January 2026
“JANUARY IS THE MONTH TO MAKE NEW HABITS THAT WILL LAST ALL YEAR.”
The Condo II Board of Managers wishes everyone a healthy and prosperous New Year!
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, in writing, 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.
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 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
Holiday hours are as follows:
• January 4th 11am to 12pm
• January 11th 11am to 12pm
All items being stored in the basement must be sealed in plastic containers that clearly state the resident’s name, address, and phone number. Please remember that the Condo is not responsible for any lost or stolen items.
Please make sure that when you are putting in a work order, it is one issue per form. We have noticed that many residents are adding multiple issues on one work order. We cannot properly delegate these tasks. Also, the board will respond to your work order request to the email that you provided. Please make sure you are checking that email for further correspondence.
In the event of a snowstorm, the Condo is responsible for shoveling and applying ice melt to all walkways. Our landscapers will also shovel a path to your front door. The rest of the patio is the responsibility of the homeowner. Our landscaper will only begin after it has stopped snowing and there is at least two inches on the ground. Condo II is very big, so please be patient with our crew. If you do not see them, they may be working in a different part of the Condo. There are also people for private hire in the Bretton News if you need them.
The Condo provides ice melt in buckets located at the end of each building. Please fill a container ahead of time for you to use on your patio. Also, make sure the lids to the bins are on securely. If you notice the ice melt running low, please put in a work order requesting the bin be refilled. Do not forget to put the location of the bin on the work order. It’s helpful to pick up your front door mat during snowstorms and the days following, as it helps make shoveling and salting easier.
Please take caution when walking outside in inclement weather and freezing temperatures. Make sure you are only utilizing the sidewalks when walking to and from your unit.
In regards to parking your vehicles with an upcoming snowstorm, Condo II residents are asked to move their vehicles to the parking plazas. No vehicle should remain on the street during a snowstorm. Any vehicle remaining in the street will be subject to towing at the owner’s expense. This will allow the maintenance crew to plow the roads. Maintenance will also plow the middle of the parking plazas. Please also take note of No parking signs for spaces designated for snow. Any vehicle parked in these parking spots will be subject to towing at the owner’s expense. Once the snow has stopped and the roadways and middle of the parking plazas have been plowed, the residents are to move their cars to the street (without blocking fire hydrants, dumpsters, or mailboxes). Once all cars have been removed from the parking plaza, maintenance will then plow the parking plaza. Once the parking plazas have been cleared, residents are asked to move their cars back.
Please make sure that we are all keeping the dumpster areas and our community clean from trash and litter. Large household items are picked up on Monday and Friday by maintenance. These items should be placed next to the dumpster on Sunday or Thursday evenings only. Do not place items in front of or lean items against the dumpster. The garbage company will not pick up that dumpster if anything is blocking it.
As a reminder, common charges and assessments (if applicable) are both due on the 1st of each month. If you have any questions, you can refer to your common charge policy.
