Snow Procedures:
Please be sure to review the following procedures for snowstorms:
• When snow is in the forecast, please be sure to take some of the salt/sand mix from the orange buckets near the mailboxes to have near your front door.
• When the snow stops falling, residents must WAIT FOR THE BLAST CALL stating that Maintenance is ready for everyone to move their car(s) out of the parking plazas and into the streets. Cars should NOT be moved into the streets until this call is received. Once the call is received and cars are moved into the streets, they must not block fire hydrants, mailboxes, or dumpsters.
• Once parking spaces have been cleared, cars may be moved back from the street. Any cars parked illegally in any areas that impede the snow removal process will be subject to towing at the owner’s expense.
• Sidewalks will be cleared once the snow stops falling.
• Please remember that this community has over 3.5 miles of roads and many intricate parking plazas that need to be cleared in addition to the dumpsters, fire hydrants, and mailboxes. Not everyone’s immediate area can be cleared first. Please be patient and wait for the hard-working employees to get the job done. Sending angry phone calls, e-mails, and texts to staff or board members will not get the job done faster, nor will it be tolerated.
• UPPER LAMONT OWNERS MUST KEEP THE SNOW CLEAR FROM THEIR BALCONIES AT ALL TIMES!
• Everyone should take caution when walking and driving when icy conditions exist.
Hose Bibs:
Any resident with access to a hose bib inside his/her unit should have turned it off by now to prevent the pipes from freezing and bursting.
Streetlights…
It is important to keep our community well-lit at night, especially now that the sun sets earlier. Anyone noticing light poles out is asked to submit a work order referencing the pole number.
Smoking…
Residents are asked to please be mindful when smoking inside their units. The smell of smoke permeates into neighboring units through vents and attics, causing discomfort to neighbors.
Contractor Requirements…
Any resident having work done in his/her home must obtain a copy of the contractor’s license, liability insurance (naming Condo VI as an additional insured), and workers’ compensation insurance. These items must be submitted to the Board for approval, along with a signed/notarized hold harmless agreement and information about the work being performed.
Work Orders…
Please be reminded that when a work order is submitted, a Board member will send the resident confirmation that it was received. Patience must be given until the work is completed. If no confirmation is received, then the Board did not receive the work order, and Maintenance should be called for an explanation. Residents wanting an update on their work order after it is approved must contact the Maintenance Department directly.
Dogs…
Having a dog in Condo VI is a privilege, not a right. To that end, the rules must be followed. All dog owners must walk their dogs in the street, not around the buildings, and must pick up after them! Additionally, all dogs must be leashed outdoors. Any resident who notices a loose/unleashed dog in the community should call Brookhaven’s Department of Public Safety at 631-451-6161, and an Animal Control Officer will be dispatched to investigate.
Waste Management…
• Large items should never be leaned against dumpsters! Large items (ex. rugs, appliances, furniture, or anything that doesn’t fit in the dumpster) should be left neatly next to, but not leaning on, the dumpsters. Winters Brothers cannot pick up and empty the dumpsters if there are items leaning against them.
• ALL garbage (e.g., fast-food garbage, cigarette butts, dog poop, etc.) should be discarded properly. There are dumpsters all over the community, and there is no reason anything should be left on the ground. Any resident who is found littering will have action taken against him/her by the Board.
• Toilet paper is the only thing that should be flushed down toilets! Even wipes that are advertised as “flushable” are not; they have been known to clog the pipes in Bretton Woods on many occasions. In addition, tissues, paper towels, sanitary napkins, cotton swabs, etc., should NEVER be flushed. These items will clog the system at Bretton Woods’ sewage treatment plant.
• Grease should never be poured down sinks as it will clog pipes.
• Repairs of pipes/drains due to residents’ negligence will be reflected in everyone’s common charges.
Fire Safety…
All residents should empty the lint trap in their dryers often. Many people forget to regularly clear the lint from the trap, which is a small, easy measure that can prevent house fires. Residents should also be mindful of leaving candles unattended, that could cause a fire.
Common Charges…
COMMON CHARGES ARE DUE ON THE FIRST OF THE MONTH! Checks received after the 10th of the month will result in a $50.00 late fee, for which there will be no waivers. Homeowners may pay their common charges by scheduling monthly payments through online banking. Anyone who chooses to use this option must note that the HOA Office does not receive an electronic transfer from the bank; it receives an actual paper check that is mailed from the bank, and therefore, homeowners must allow 5-7 business days to allow payments to be received and processed by the HOA Office. Otherwise, homeowners should make their checks payable to “Bretton Woods – Condo VI” and mail them or hand-deliver them to the Clubhouse at 1027 Clubhouse Court, Coram, NY 11727. Allowances for weekends and holidays must also be made.
Parking…
The following rules are true not only in Condo VI, but all throughout Bretton Woods:
• Head-in parking only.
• The speed limit is 25 MPH & stop signs MUST be observed.
• No reserved parking (regular or handicapped).
• All cars must display license plates, a current registration, a current inspection sticker, and a current handicapped placard if utilizing a handicapped space.
All vehicles are subject to towing after being unmoved for two weeks. Vehicles not being used should be moved to a long-term spot, including vehicles in handicapped spots. Anyone parking in one of these long-term spots must leave a key with a neighbor in the event of an emergency.
All residents are responsible for their guests’ actions, including parking. Anyone violating the parking rules will have his/her vehicle tagged for potential towing. Anyone who has visitors during the day is asked to have them park in the street so residents may have access to the parking spaces.
Next Condo VI Open Meeting: Thursday, 6/11/26 at 6:15 PM (Annual Board of Managers elections).
