Condo IX – July 2026
Wishing everyone a safe and Happy Fourth of July to all our homeowners, residents, their families, and friends.
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
Summer is well underway, and everything is blossoming here in Bretton Woods! The Bretton News has all the information on the many outdoor activities, clubs, and activities you can participate in. Our outdoor pool is refreshing on those hot summer days. It’s also great for doing laps or just socializing and making new friends! Equipment for Pickleball, Tennis, Bocce, Shuffleboard, and more is available to borrow at the Clubhouse.
LANDSCAPING/BEAUTIFICATION:
• We appreciate the efforts of all the homeowners and residents who have taken the time to beautify their areas. The colorful flowers and shrubs really enhance our development.
• A gentle reminder that any planting or shrub removal in the common area requires a written request to the Board for approval.
• If you notice a lawn problem or sprinkler head not working properly, please submit a work order online at https://brettonwoodshoa.org/work-orders/ or submit a request at the clubhouse.
SUMMER SAFETY:
• Residents are encouraged to apply tick/insect repellent in their own yards to help reduce the risk of tick-borne illnesses. Keeping your property treated is an important step in maintaining a safe and comfortable community for everyone. Please make sure to remove any standing water, which attracts mosquitoes and other pests.
• As outdoor activities continue, please be mindful that we live in a community and be considerate of excessive noise. Please put toys and other items away when not in use.
To make a noise complaint or to report any other non-emergency situation
requiring police response, call (631) 852-COPS (2677).
HOUSEKEEPING REMINDERS:
• Please ensure that your contact information – telephone #, emergency contact, alternate address, etc. – is up to date with the HOA office/front desk.
• Homeowners/Residents should not be contacting our vendors directly. Board members interface with the vendors directly, and the method for alerting the Board to a problem is via work order. Please submit a work order either electronically through Upkeep or by paper at the clubhouse front desk. Condo IX will not be responsible for any costs associated with a vendor contracted by a homeowner.
• 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.
• Please only submit work orders for yourself or a common area. Do not submit a work order on behalf of anyone else. If you need assistance submitting a work order, please contact a Board member.
Don’t Hurt our Wildlife! Enjoy them from afar.
Did you know it is against the law to feed deer in New York State?
Feeding wild animals such as geese, ducks, deer, raccoons, squirrels, etc., is not healthy for the animal or the environment. Feeding wildlife can cause malnutrition, disease, environmental quality problems, and wildlife/human conflicts.
When people feed animals, they lose their fear of people and may approach them and/or their vehicles, putting them in danger. They can also carry diseases and ticks, which harm humans.
When we feed them, they are on our lawns and in our gardens. They are also more likely to eat plants from our gardens. Animal droppings can also be unsanitary and unsightly.
Rodents and other pests are attracted to the remnants of leftover food and can also enter our homes and cause damages. Repair of damages caused by wildlife is costly to everyone in our community.
