Condo IX – September 2024
DEAR CONDO IX RESIDENTS,
We hope you are enjoying these last beautiful days of summer weather. Watch out for our school children & school bus stops!
The Condo IX Barbeque on Sunday, August 4th was a smashing success! The weather held out and we had a great turnout of around 65 people. Everyone enjoyed the day eating and socializing with their neighbors! Thank you to the Social Committee chairs: Virginia Pankus & Jeanine Petillo for organizing this enjoyable day.
Our important Annual Meeting and Elections will be held on Thursday, September 19th at 7:00pm in the Clubhouse Rainbow Room. All homeowners are encouraged to attend this informative meeting where budget expenses and the new Common Charges will be discussed for the new fiscal year, beginning October 1st.
Proxies will be mailed to each homeowner. If you are unable to attend this meeting, please return your signed & dated proxy to the HOA Office to the attention of Deirdre Severson, Condo IX Secretary. You may also give your signed proxy to any Board member or homeowner who will be attending the meeting. Please exercise your right and responsibility as a homeowner and VOTE!
If you have any questions about the election or how a proxy works, don’t hesitate to send an email to: BrettonWoodsCondominiumIX@gmail.com. You can also drop a note to Condo IX where you submit your Common charges, and a Board member will get back to you.
*REMINDER: You will be getting your coupon booklet for your monthly Common Charges during the month of September. IF you make electronic payments for your Common Charges, please arrange the updated amount with your financial institution when you receive the new payment schedule/coupon book. Please also be reminded that common charges are due on the 1st of the month. If your bank issues a check for your payment, please authorize the payment/mailing with sufficient time so the check arrives in the HOA Office before the 10th of the month to avoid the automatic imposition of a late fee. Late fees cannot be waived.
COMMUNITY CONCERNS:
Plumbing issues-Avoid unnecessary clogs, back-ups, and plumbing bills by not putting things down the drain that don’t belong. So-called flushable wipes do not degrade and will clog our septic system. Grease and kitty litter do not belong down the drain. Flush drains weekly with boiling water to keep them running smoothly and prevent stoppages. Homeowners are responsible for costs associated with blockages.
Blast Calls-You should be signed up for Blast Calls which keep you updated on any information such as paving, clubhouse activities, water shut-offs due to emergencies, etc. Contact Gina at (631) 698-4513 to be sure she has your correct contact number!
Parking-We understand parking is sometimes a problem and it may not always be possible to park close to your unit, you can use the parking spaces created on Skyline Drive. Please be considerate of your neighbors and remember to move your vehicle to our designated Long-Term parking area in Parking Plaza 16A if you will not be moving it for 5 or more days.
Work Done by Contractors-Are you considering replacing your doors, windows, patio, or something else? Before any work can begin- you must send written notification to the Condo IX Board asking for approval. Be sure to follow the style and color requirements as outlined in the Condo IX Architectural Matrix which can be found on the BW HOA website. All contractors must be licensed and insured and provide documentation of same to the Condo IX Board. Contractors are not permitted to use our dumpsters to dispose of materials they remove.
Dumpsters-Please help keep the community free of rodents and pests! When throwing out your trash, please make sure the dumpster is closed. If you see one open, please close it!
