Condo IV – May 2024
Our regular condo IV board meeting is open to all condo IV residents. We’re looking for potential board members and people who have an interest in bettering our community. Let us hear about your leadership qualities, skills, experience, passions, and goals. We always welcome suggestions and new ideas. We also need volunteers to assist with various tasks. Please join us at the next meeting on Wednesday, May 8th at 7:00 pm in the library.
Friendly Reminders:
If your unit has an inside valve that controls the outside water spigot, it’s that time of year to make sure it has been turned on. It should remain on for the entire summer.
Barbecues: Please be sure to keep your BBQ at least 10 feet from the building or as far away as possible if you have a smaller patio. Never leave it unattended when in use. Barbecuing with propane or charcoal on the Upper Lamont unit’s balcony is strictly prohibited.
Tiki torches are not permitted in Bretton Woods because of the close proximity to your neighbors and the risk of a fire. Fire pits are also prohibited.
Landscaping: Our landscapers will handle our regular lawn maintenance, seeding, fertilizing, and various beautification projects. The flowering shrubs are pruned and cut after they bloom usually sometime in July. Also, Ivy and pachysandra are invasive and prohibited.
Reminder: Nothing should be nailed or screwed into the aluminum siding. Also, no plants, hanging vines, or ornaments should be attached or hanging from or on the fences.
As required by the town of Brookhaven, each condo’s smoke alarm has to be checked twice a year, in the Spring and Fall. Please allow our volunteers into your condo to check. If not at home, please contact the person who will leave a note to arrange a date and time. Please ensure you give the volunteer your current phone number. The testing should not take more than five minutes of your time. They will be starting the process in the next few weeks.
