We welcome any homeowner who is in good standing and interested in volunteering their time to submit a resume or a letter of interest to the Condo I Board of Managers by May 26.

Striping of the Parking Plazas – The board is looking into getting Condo I parking plazas re-striped.
Landscaping – Cutting Edge Landscaping has completed the spring clean-up.
Outdoor Hose Bibs – If you have the shut-off valve to the outside hose bib, please turn it back on now, if you have not already done so. If you need help turning it on, you may submit a work order, and someone from maintenance will help you. Thank you.
Fence Cleaning Guide – If your fence is in need of a cleaning, try simply hosing it down first. (Power washing is NOT recommended as it can damage the finish.) For stubborn stains: Try a vinyl fence cleaner and a soft scrub brush; this should remove any natural stains. Be sure that you are using a “soft” scrub brush; stiff brushes are not required on vinyl fences and can scratch your fence with applied pressure. Simple Green® works well for this. You could also try the Mr. Clean® Magic Eraser®. The white eraser is great at removing scuff marks and stains and is safe to use on your vinyl fence. Abrasive cleaners are not recommended.
Barbecue Season – For those of you who have a barbecue, please remember that the heat from it can easily melt the vinyl fencing. The fence is not warranted for warping or melting due to excessive heat. Keep your BBQ at least 10 feet away from any combustible surface while in use as per the fire code.
In addition, please be aware and adhere to the Brookhaven Town Fire Code as it pertains to barbecue grill use in multiple residence settings, such as a condominium.
