Condo III – January 2025
Non-work order related issues, contact the board at Brettonwoodscondo3@gmail.com.
Please do NOT call your board members at home unless it is an emergency after office hours.
By the time most of you read this newsletter, fall cleanup will be completed and our gutters will have been cleaned again. Your Board of Managers would like to wish everyone good health along with a very Happy New Year. Please take the proper precautions to keep yourself and your neighbors safe and healthy.
Online Work Orders: Just go to Brettonwoodshoa.org and click on the work orders tab. The Condo III Board will not meet again until March 2025. Work orders and other matters will be taken care of as usual.
Basement: The basement will be open for your convenience on:
Saturday, January 4th, and January 18th from 11:00am – 11:15am.
All items stored in the basement must be in a plastic tote labeled with your name, address, and phone number. All items stored in the basement are done so at your own risk.
Common charges: Please keep in mind that common charges are due on the 1st of each month. If the HOA office receives your payment on the 11th…. it is not 1 day late; it is 11 days late. You will be charged a late fee. Please do not wait until the last minute to make your payments. The office no longer accepts payments directly. You can leave your payment in any of the 3 designated boxes. The boxes are emptied multiple times each day.
Dryer Vents: Just a reminder…. Clothes dryer fires account for about 15,600 structure fires, 15 deaths, and 400 injuries each year. If you haven’t had your dryer vent cleaned in over a year, please do so. HOA Maintenance charges a fee for the service or you can hire an outside company.
Support Animals: All documents must be updated annually. It is the homeowner’s responsibility to submit the necessary paperwork to the HOA office attention Condo 3.
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY: If you have a fire, need police, or have a medical emergency,
CALL 911. Do not call the office. This wastes valuable time, and they cannot help you. If you hear the fire alarms going off, CALL 911, get out of the building, and then notify your neighbors.
Head-in Parking Only: Bretton Woods has a Head-In Only Parking policy. Head-in Parking prevents exhaust from traveling in the direction of our homes and protects the grass, bushes, and other plantings. Please inform your family and guests of this policy. This rule is relaxed when expecting a snowstorm.
Snow: Let’s hope the rest of the winter stays quiet and we have very little snow. Our landscapers will only come shovel our walks if we have 2 inches or more of snow. They also will not come until after the snow has stopped.
A few reminders:
• Upper Lamont Owners – you are responsible for the maintenance of your balconies. You must remove snow accumulations from your decks promptly and carefully so there is no damage to the lower unit.
• Pick up your outdoor mats so they won’t get caught in the snow blowers.
• Leave your gate open if you want the path cleared to your door.
• After the Maintenance department has plowed the roads, please move your car out of the parking plazas so the men can plow the lots.
• Keep sand or ice melt and a small shovel handy in case you need to get out before the walks are cleared.
• Be careful walking and driving in the snow and ice.
