Condo II – July 2024
Happy 4th of July from all over us here on the Condo II Board of Managers. We hope your summer is filled with friends, family, and lots of yummy BBQ’s.
Communication with our residents is very important to the Condo II Board of Managers. Many of you have put in work orders to reach the board. Going forward, a more efficient way is to email the condo directly. This way, there is a direct line of contact, and you are not going through the work order system. Please continue to put in work orders for maintenance regarding your unit, i.e. roof leaking, gutters, general maintenance, etc. Please use this email for direct communication with the Board of Managers. Please forward any questions to our email address at Bwcondo2@gmail.com and someone will respond. Also make sure that in your email is a correct phone number where someone can reach you, as well as your full name and unit number.
The Condo II Board of Managers has updated the welcome booklet for all new residents entering our community. However, every resident in Condo II should have one. There is a lot of helpful information and answers to many questions that you may have. Stay tuned for information on how you can obtain your copy.
Now that summer is finally here, please make sure you are positioning your barbecue away from the condo, 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.
Please remember that it is the homeowner’s responsibility to make sure your account is current, not only with common charges, but with bill backs as well. Your account should be current to avoid any overdue balance fees. You can request a customer ledger from the HOA office which will tell you the status of your account. If you have any questions, they will be able to assist you with your account.
In regards to work being done at your unit, Condo II requires a licensed and insured contractor to perform said work. A copy of the license and certificate of insurance must be submitted to Condo II prior to work being completed. In addition, our insurance carrier requires that hold harmless agreements are completed by the contractor and submitted to Condo II. These hold harmless agreements can be emailed to you or your contractor at your request. If the work requires approval from the Condo II Board, please submit your project in advance, in writing, and we will get back to you in a timely fashion. If you are unsure and have questions, please feel free to contact us via the Condo II email.

No one is permitted to park in any handicap spaces unless you have the proper documentation. Due to the amount of new homeowners, the board will be checking for the correct documents.
It is the homeowner’s responsibility to have your dryer vents cleaned. It is imperative that this gets done, as dryer lint can cause a fire. Please protect your home and your surrounding neighbors by getting this done ASAP. You can put in a work order with maintenance and they will come and clean them out at the homeowner’s expense.
According to our By-Laws, article III, section 6, states that all plumbing stoppages shall be done by the homeowner at their own expense, if you have a plumbing backup, you may call maintenance. They will assess the situation and let you know if the matter is something they can fix or if you will need to call a plumber. Any plumber doing work in any of our buildings must be licensed and insured. You can avoid unnecessary clogs, backups, and plumbing bills by not putting things down the drains or flushing Items that don’t belong. Flushable wipes may say they are flushable, but they clog our septic system. Grease and other household items also do not belong down the drain.
Vehicles are not permitted to park in no-parking zones. Vehicles may not be parked in front of mailboxes, dumpsters, fire hydrants, or in front of walkways. All vehicles must have a valid license plate and be registered. No street parking is permitted anytime on Bretton Woods Dr. When and where street parking is permitted, all vehicles must face the correct flow of traffic. Vehicles parked in these spots, or violating these rules are subject to being towed without warning at the owner’s expense.
In regards to gutters, Condo 2 offers two gutter cleanings per year as per our landscaping contract. Any additional cleanings will be at the homeowner’s expense.
As always, please make sure you are picking up after your dog and placing it in the proper trash receptacle. If you are caught on camera or by a board member not picking up after your dog, further action will be taken. All cats must remain indoors. Bretton Woods does not allow outdoor cats.
