Condo IX – June 2026
6th D-Day remembered 14th Flag Day 19th Juneteenth 21st Father’s Day & First Day of Summer
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
Condo IX is full of sunshine and blooming flowers, neighbors and friends out after winter hibernation. Welcome back to our returning snowbirds! The longest day of the year, Summer Solstice, is June 21st. The Bretton Woods pool is sparkling and now open for your enjoyment. The indoor pool continues to be open for the month of June. Aquanauts offers Water Aerobics Monday through Saturday at 9 AM.
Bretton Woods provides many activities for you to take advantage of. Get out in the sunshine and enjoy some golf, tennis, pickleball, bocce, or shuffleboard, or just relax poolside. This month, we honor and celebrate all the Fathers, Grandfathers, and Great-Grandfathers in our community. We hope you all enjoy your special day!
CONDO PROJECTS:
• Mulch: Naturescape has finished the mulching of Parking Plaza entrances and the hill by Parking Plaza 16. If you would like an estimate for mulch in your area, contact them at 631-476-1950. Coordination and payment by the homeowner will be done through Naturescape directly.
• Irrigation: Irrigation startup has completed – please submit a work order ASAP if you notice an inoperable sprinkler head or problem in the vicinity of your unit.
FRIENDLY REMINDERS:
• Dogs: Please remember that Condo IX is a NO Pet Condo. If you have an approved Emotional Support Animal, you need to update and submit the required documentation every year. All associated rules must be followed.
• 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.
Homeowners must use the work order process and work with the Board representative(s) to ensure issues are addressed properly and in accordance with our established protocols. Do not submit a work order on behalf of anyone else. If you need assistance submitting a work order, please contact a Board member.
• Planting/Beautification: Reminder: any planting that you wish to do in the Common Areas must be approved by the Board prior to work being done. If approved, the cost and future maintenance of these plantings becomes your responsibility.
• Dumpsters: Please keep the covers on the dumpsters closed to keep raccoons and other critters out. Remember to use the recycling dumpsters if you are able.
• Feeding Animals: Absolutely DO NOT feed or put out food for the deer, birds, squirrels and any other animals in the complex. This poses a great expense to address raccoon & rodent problems and jeopardizes the safety of the community. It is also illegal in New York State (NYSDEC and Suffolk County), and can be unintentionally harmful to them.
• Open Flame: Tikki Torches, fire-pits, and other open flame devices are not permitted in Bretton Woods, for the safety of all.
• Contact Information: Please make sure your up-to-date contact information and emergency contact is on file at the HOA office.
• Board Members are volunteers and also our neighbors. Please be respectful and considerate in your interactions. 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.
• To make a noise complaint or to report any other non-emergency situation
requiring police response, call (631) 852-COPS (2677).
SMOKE DETECTOR INSPECTIONS: The semi-annual mandated Town of Brookhaven smoke detector inspections were completed in May. THANKS go to Jasmine Hawk, who is the Chair of this safety project, as well as to the community volunteers: Michael Carni, Jasmine Hawk, Janet Keller, Lisa Leshaw, Joe Lucia, Christine McKeever, Pat O’Mahoney, Linda Redenberg, Kathy Russo, Deirdre Severson, and Renata Zinkeviciene. The community is grateful for your time and effort to get this important project done!
Summer Pests
Ticks: Long Island is a high-risk area for tick-borne diseases like Lyme, requiring year-round vigilance, especially from April to September.
Protect yourself by wearing light-colored, long clothing (tucked in), using repellents with DEET or permethrin, staying in the center of trails, and doing full-body checks immediately after being outdoors. Tick Resource Center: 631-726-TICK (8425).

Mosquitos: To manage mosquitoes on Long Island, eliminate standing water, as they only need a tablespoon to breed. Be sure to check cans, plastic containers, ceramic pots, toys, plastic wading pools, outdoor furniture covers, etc. regularly. Use EPA-registered repellents (DEET, Picaridin), keep grass cut short, and consider professional barrier sprays, especially from March through Autumn.
