Summer is here and more of our neighbors are spending time outside! Please observe the speed limit of 25 mph. Please be extra careful to observe children crossing the street, playing outside, or residents walking. Obey the stop signs and make sure you make a full stop! Please take caution to drive a little slower and don’t park in any area that isn’t marked as a parking spot!
Vehicle repairs and car washing are prohibited in the parking plazas and on the streets. The car wash hoses on Daryl Drive are available for your use.
Condo III would like to welcome new residents to our community this month!
A BIG WELCOME to Frances D’Arce at 436 Clubhouse Ct. and Laurie Bonomo at 52 Birchwood Road. We wish you many happy years here!
Our deepest sympathies to longtime Condo 3 resident, Al Solomito, on the passing of his daughter Cheryl.

Basement: The basement will be open for your convenience on: NEW CHANGE IN TIME
Saturday, July 13th from 10:15am – 10:30am. All items stored in the basement must be in a plastic tote labeled with your name, address, and phone number. Hazardous or combustible items may not be stored. All items stored in the basement are stored at your own risk.
Contractors: Contractors are not permitted to dispose of items in Condo dumpsters; they must cart away debris from work done in your unit, including deliveries such as appliances and furniture. Contractors must be licensed and insured and complete a hold harmless agreement—contact the Board for requirements.
Handicapped Spots: If you need to request a new handicapped spot, please send a copy of your handicapped parking placard and your driver’s license to the Condo’s email address or a legible paper copy to the HOA office to the Attention of Condo 3.
Garbage: Dumpsters are for household trash only. Nothing should touch or block access to the dumpster, otherwise the garbage truck will not empty it. HOA Maintenance picks up prohibited items left outside dumpsters on Monday and Friday mornings. Residents doing their own home renovations can arrange a special pick-up to remove debris by calling Maintenance at 631-698-2497.
Rental Units: Please make sure your Town of Brookhaven rental permits are updated annually. Also, the most current copy of permit and lease should be submitted to the Condo via email or HOA Office to the attention of Condo 3.
Dogs: Condo 3 is a NO DOG condo. However, some of you have been granted permission under the ADA to have a service or emotional support dog. This dog ownership comes with responsibilities, and you are required to adhere to New York State, Town of Brookhaven, and the Condo’s regulations.
• New York State requires all dogs over four months of age to be licensed and vaccinated. Licenses can be obtained from the Brookhaven Town Clerk and must be renewed annually. These tags need to be affixed to the collar and worn by the dog when outside.
• Dogs must always be walked on a leash. By Brookhaven Town Code, animals are not allowed to run at large.
• In Bretton Woods, dogs are to be leashed and walked in the street along the curb. Dogs may not be walked on the grass or in the common areas.
• Do not let your dog relieve itself on the grass or the common areas. NYS Public Health Law requires dog owners to pick up their dog’s waste immediately and deposit it in a trash receptacle. Leaving dog waste on the ground is a public health risk.
• Be a responsible dog owner by leashing, curbing, and picking up after your pet.
Violations will result in fines and/or the suspension of your passes.
Friendly reminders:
• Keep the covers on the dumpsters closed to keep raccoons and other critters out. DO NOT put out food or bread for the birds and squirrels as they contribute to ever increasing rat problem. Don’t leave any kind of garbage on your patios.
• To prevent costly repairs, it is recommended that residents pour boiling water down the drains weekly to prevent clogs and grease build-up. When cooking, remember to never pour oil down the drain. Those that use the toilets need to be informed not to flush anything other than toilet paper and what nature intends down the toilet. No one should be flushing wipes or sanitary products of any kind, not even those that say flushable because they clog our pipes, too. In the kitchen, grease and food scraps should be put in the garbage and not down the drain. Avoid charges, as plumbing cameras can trace who is responsible for back-up issues.
• When you notice a lamppost is out, either in the parking area or walkways, please submit a work order and be sure to indicate the tag number listed on the pole if possible.
• Tiki torches and firepits are not permitted anywhere in Bretton Woods.
Have a Happy and Safe Fourth of July!!
