May 2026
5th- Cinco de Mayo; 10th – Mother’s Day; 16th -Armed Forces Day; 25th – Memorial Day
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
May brings us warmer weather and many days to celebrate! We wish all the Mothers, Grandmothers, and Great-Grandmothers a very special day. This month, we also honor and show appreciation for members of the Armed Forces with Memorial Day and Armed Forces Day. Please take some time to thank our veterans and active service members.
We all look forward to the opening of our outdoor pools, bocce and tennis courts, as well as participating in a myriad of outdoor activities. Bretton Woods has lots of clubs and activities you can join, including bocce, golf, pickleball, and our Aquanauts water aerobics classes. Get out and get involved! It’s a great opportunity to get to know our neighbors.
CONDO PROJECTS:
Mulch: Condo IX has approved mulching at the parking plaza entrances and the hill by Parking Plaza 16. Naturescape is able to give estimates for homeowners who wish to put down mulch in their area. If you are interested, contact Naturescape at 631-476-1950. Coordination and payment by the homeowner will be done through them directly.
Shut-Off Valves: If you have not already done so, please be sure to turn the interior shut-off valve ON for the season. If you need help, please send a note to the board or submit a maintenance request.
SMOKE DETECTOR INSPECTIONS: Jasmine Hawk, Chair of the Smoke Detector Inspection Committee, along with Condo IX volunteers, will conduct inspections this month. We ask that you please cooperate with the community volunteer who conducts your mandated Town of Brookhaven inspection. The inspection is quick, requires no volunteer entry into your home, and provides invaluable protection to you and your neighbors!
RECYCLING: The cardboard and plastic/metal recycling dumpsters have returned to the community. Please be mindful and do not throw regular garbage into the designated recycling dumpsters.
GENTLE REMINDERS:
Community Living: Condominium living involves close proximity to one’s neighbors. During the warmer weather, windows are open, and there is an increase in the time spent outdoors. Please be considerate and respect your neighbors regarding noise and smoking.
PLEASE DON’T LEAVE FOOD/BIRD SEED OUTSIDE! You may be well-intentioned, but these offerings also attract rodents and vermin, which can be costly to our community.
Common Areas: Condo IX residents are reminded that common areas should be kept clear of personal items such as toys, bikes, and outdoor furniture. Maintaining a neat and tidy appearance not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of our community but also ensures the comfort and consideration of everyone. Please be mindful of shared spaces and store all personal belongings when not in use.
Landscaping: If you have any landscaping issues, please send the board an email.
To make a noise complaint or to report any other non-emergency situation
requiring police response, call (631) 852-COPS (2677).
SPRING CLEANING: It’s that time of year – Spring cleaning is coming to the basement area! If you are using the basement storage area, please make sure you purge those unwanted and unused items! All your items should be clearly labeled and properly stored. Please be considerate of your neighbors, remembering that each of the 94 households in our community is entitled to use the storage area.
If you’re unable to manage this task, put in a work order to have Maintenance assist; they charge a minimal fee and will help you clear out your items. We appreciate your cooperation and consideration! We will be following up with homeowners individually to address any issues.
BARBEQUES: With the advent of the warmer weather, please be reminded of the following:
Upper Lamont homeowners: storage/use of LP gas, use of charcoal burners, and other open-flame cooking devices shall not be permitted on your balcony.
Charcoal burners and other open-flame cooking devices used on ground-level patios of all other units must be at least ten (10) feet from combustible construction, i.e., the building or fence.
Charcoal burners and other open-flame devices cannot be operated on the sidewalks or common areas.
Firepits and Tiki torches are not permitted.
The repair of any damage to the siding or fence caused by the proximity of the grill to the vinyl siding/fence is the homeowner’s responsibility.
WORK ORDERS: For the quickest response to work orders, please submit your request online at https://brettonwoodshoa.org/work-orders/. You should receive an email acknowledgement of your work order; please follow up with the board if you do not.
Board Members are volunteers. Please be considerate; don’t text, email, phone, or visit them regarding Condo matters, unless there is a true emergency. Work orders are necessary for proper documentation and may be submitted online with minimal effort.
JOIN THE BOARD: The community is better served with a diverse and skilled Board. If you are interested in filling the current vacancy and becoming a Board member, please send an email to brettonwoodscondoIX@gmail.com.
