Condo II – June 2025
“It is the month of June, the month of leaves and roses, when pleasant sights salute the eyes and pleasant scents the noses.”
– Nathaniel Parker Willis
Now that summer is finally here, please make sure you are positioning your barbecue away from your unit, vinyl fence, overhanging plants, or branches. The fence can warp or melt due to excessive heat. Never leave the barbecue unattended. Always make sure the flame is out when you are done cooking. Check valves for possible propane leaks, and learn how to cut the fuel supply to your tank should there be a fire. Please make sure you have a fire extinguisher handy and that you know how to use it properly.
In regards to fire prevention, remember that it is your responsibility as a homeowner to clean and maintain your dryer vents and furnaces. It is mandatory to have these cleaned and inspected. Please submit the proper paperwork to the Condo II Board. It is also a good time to check the expiration dates of your fire extinguishers, any extra smoke and or carbon monoxide detectors, and replace them if needed. It is imperative that we all do our part in keeping this community safe.
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
All items being stored in the basement must be sealed in plastic containers that clearly state the residents’ name, address, and phone number. Please remember that the Condo is not responsible for any lost or stolen items. Many of you use the basement to store your personal belongings. In the near future, the condo will be reorganizing and going through the basement. If you have items that do not belong in the basement, please remove them immediately. If you are unsure of what can be stored in the basement, please send an email to the Board of Managers, and the information will be sent to you. It is a good idea if you have items in the basement to check to make sure everything is labeled and stored correctly. You will also be contacted with instructions if you need to take action.
In the event that there is a maintenance emergency after 4:30pm on weekdays or anytime on weekends, you will have to utilize the emergency maintenance phone number. (800)322-3223. Do not email the condo regarding your emergency. You must call the emergency phone number. If it is a condo issue, maintenance will contact the Board of Managers.
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 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.
If you notice any street or lamp posts out in the community, please put in a work order to have maintenance address the issue. Please take note of the number on the pole, and include it in your work order.
As the warmer weather approaches, please make sure that there is no water left in basins, flowerpots, or birdbaths. Stagnant water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes.
Please remember to stop feeding the wildlife. Not only is it against Suffolk County code, but it also brings unwanted pests and rodents to the area. The condo is not responsible for rodents, so please refrain from leaving out food that may attract unwanted guests.
