Fire Alarm Inspections – A Town of Brookhaven required inspection of the Fire Alarm System in each Condo I unit will be performed in November. Arrow Security will be conducting the fire alarm inspections. They will be attempting to make all minor repairs the same day and are asking that should your unit have a deficiency, please be patient with the technicians as they make the repair as soon as possible. In most cases, this will eliminate the need for you to make your unit available a second day for repair.
Please locate your unit on the schedule below and make arrangements to have someone in your unit on this day available for the duration of the inspection period. As always, this is a set schedule and cannot be altered, nor can they enter your unit without another person accompanying them.
If we are unable to gain access to your unit on your first scheduled inspection date you will be notified of a 2nd attempt date, however, you will be charged $7.00, plus tax for the 2nd attempt. Should you not be available for either attempt you will be charged $175.00, plus tax for the 3rd attempt.

If it should rain on your inspection date, please DO NOT assume your inspection is canceled. Many factors are taken into consideration before canceling an inspection. If you have any questions regarding the status of your inspection, please call Trudy at 631-846-7911. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Bamboo & Vines – Red Dragon Organics has tiered the bamboo in front of units 73, 75, and 77 Skyline in an effort to control it. We will also bring in the tree cutter at some point to remove the tree-damaging vines.
Basement Storage – Over the years, a considerable amount of Condo 1 money has been spent on our three basements. Your dollars paid for mold remediation and clean-up, replacement of windows, installation of a sump pump, removal and replacement of wet, moldy ceilings, etc.
We recently had the basement off of PP 3A treated for mold. But it is coming back. One contributing factor has to do with the storage of forbidden items by residents. Nothing that harbors mold is to be put in our basements. It is costing us money and your items will need to be junked. Forbidden items include upholstered furniture, leather, cardboard, paper, wooden pallets, wooden furniture, unprotected decorations, and fabric. To our dismay, all of these items were seen in the PP 3A basement while the environmental consultant was testing the area. All of these items were seen to have mold growing on them. Hence the smell of mold. The forbidden items should have been removed by October 28. Not only is it costly, but it is unhealthy. Items stored in plastic-covered bins should be fine. Anything porous should be thrown away if it cannot be washed.
PP 1 Basement – We are currently in the process of remediating mold in the basement off of Parking Plaza 1 and ultimately restoring that basement. This has required residents to remove all stored items by Oct. 28. The basement will be gutted; all drywall and insulation removed. Every last thing must be cleaned, treated for mold, and encapsulated including all wooden beams in the ceiling, every pipe, window, doors, all walls, and the entire floor. Then the basement needs to be environmentally tested again in order to get clearance to restore the basement. Only if it passes, can restoration take place. The PP 1 basement alone will cost us tens of thousands of dollars.
Hose Bib Shut-Off Procedure – Sometime around the middle of the month, those people with the indoor water shut off for the outdoor hose spigot will be asked to turn the water off from the inside of their units. A blast call will be given as a reminder to those with the shut-off valve. In order to avoid a broken pipe over the winter or in the spring, very specific instructions must be followed.
1.) First, detach any hoses and adapters attached to the spigot.
2.) Second, turn the outside water spigot on and let the water run.
3.) Then go inside and turn the hose bib shut-off valve to the off position and you are done. (Yes, leave the outdoor valve open all winter so that water inside the pipes can exit. Otherwise, you run the risk of the pipes freezing and breaking.)
Dryer Vent Cleaning – A dryer vent clogged with lint is a fire hazard. Your dryer vent should be cleaned out on a yearly basis. Condo I will pay to have your dryer vent cleaned once a year. If it has not been done in the last 12 months submit a work order and maintenance will schedule an appointment with you.
Litter – We all have a responsibility to keep our community litter-free. Please do not and do not allow your guests to litter our property. We can show respect for our community and for those who live here by helping to keep it clean.
Parking Courtesy – Your neighbors will appreciate the courtesy.
1.) Park between the lines in one space only.
2.) Head-in parking only, please.
3.) If you go away for any length of time, please, park your car in a less used area. This will leave prime spots for residents still at home in Bretton Woods.
Vehicle Inspection and Registration – All cars in our lots must have valid registration stickers and be up-to-date on inspections. Those vehicles with expired stickers are subject to being towed at the owner’s expense.
