Rentals…
Any owners who rent their unit (family rentals excluded) are reminded that the current lease and Town of Brookhaven rental permit MUST always be on file with Gina at the Front Desk. The Condo Board will contact the Town to report any renters who refuse to hold a current rental permit.
Streetlights…
It is important to keep the community well-lit at night. Anyone noticing light poles out is asked to submit a work order referencing the pole number so they may be addressed by the Maintenance Department.
Contractor Requirements…
Any resident having work done in his/her home must obtain a copy of the contractor’s license, liability insurance (naming Condo VI as an additional insured), and workers’ compensation insurance. These items must be submitted to the Board for approval, along with a signed/notarized hold harmless agreement and detailed information about the work being performed.
Work Orders…
Please be reminded that when a work order is submitted, a Board member will send the resident confirmation that it was received. Patience must be given until the work is completed. If no confirmation is received, then the Board did not receive the work order, and the Maintenance Department should be contacted for an explanation. Residents wanting an update on their work order(s) after approval must contact the Maintenance Department directly.
Smoking / Fire Safety…
• Residents are asked to please be mindful when smoking inside their units. The smell of smoke permeates into neighboring units through vents and attics, causing discomfort to neighbors.
• All residents should empty the lint trap in their dryers often. Many people forget to regularly clear the lint from the trap, which is a small, easy measure that can prevent fires.
• Residents must be mindful of leaving candles unattended, which could cause fires.
• Barbecues must not be used near the buildings. Barbecues must be at least twelve (12) inches from the fence and the siding. Tiki torches, fire pits, or any items that cause an open flame on the patio/balcony are not permitted.
• NYS and Town of Brookhaven fire codes prohibit the use and storage of propane on balconies. Barbecuing with propane or charcoal on the Upper Lamont balconies is strictly prohibited.
*** All residents should expect a call from their Block Captain regarding spring smoke alarm inspections. This process is very simple and only takes a few minutes. Everyone is asked to cooperate and work out a mutually agreed-upon time with their Block Captain to get this inspection completed in a timely manner. While your Block Captain is at your home, please be sure to update all your personal information.
Dogs…
Having a dog in Condo VI is a privilege, not a right! To that end, the rules must be followed. All dog owners must walk their dogs in the street, not around the buildings, and must pick up after them! Additionally, all dogs must be leashed outdoors. Any resident who notices a loose/unleashed dog in the community should call Brookhaven’s Department of Public Safety at 631-451-6161, and an Animal Control Officer will be dispatched to investigate.
Waste Management…
• Large items should never be leaned against dumpsters! Large items (ex. rugs, appliances, furniture, or anything that doesn’t fit in the dumpster) should be left neatly next to, but not leaning on, the dumpsters. Winters Brothers cannot empty any dumpsters with items leaning against them.
• ALL garbage (e.g., fast-food garbage, cigarette butts, dog poop, etc.) should be discarded properly. There are dumpsters all over the community, and there is no reason anything should be left on the ground. Any resident who is found littering will have action taken against him/her by the Board.
• Toilet paper is the only thing that should be flushed down toilets! Even wipes that are advertised as “flushable” are not; they have been known to clog the pipes in Bretton Woods on many occasions. In addition, tissues, paper towels, sanitary napkins, cotton swabs, etc., should NEVER be flushed. These items will clog the system at Bretton Woods’ sewage treatment plant.
• Grease should never be poured down sinks as it will clog pipes.
• Repairs of pipes/drains due to residents’ negligence will be reflected in everyone’s common charges.
Common Charges…
COMMON CHARGES ARE DUE ON THE FIRST OF THE MONTH! Checks received after the 10th of the month will result in a $50.00 late fee, for which there will be no waivers. Homeowners may pay their common charges by scheduling monthly payments through online banking. Anyone who chooses to use this option must note that the HOA Office does not receive an electronic transfer from the bank; it receives an actual paper check that is mailed from the bank, and therefore, homeowners must allow 5-7 business days to allow payments to be received and processed by the HOA Office. Otherwise, homeowners should make their checks payable to “Bretton Woods – Condo VI” and mail them or hand-deliver them to the Clubhouse at 1027 Clubhouse Court, Coram, NY 11727. Allowances for weekends and holidays must also be made.
Parking…
The following rules MUST be adhered to at all times:
• Parking: Head-in only and no reserved parking (regular or handicapped).
• The speed limit is 25 MPH & stop signs MUST be observed.
• All cars must display license plates, a current registration, a current inspection sticker, and a current handicapped placard if utilizing a handicapped space.
• All vehicles are subject to towing after being unmoved for two weeks. Vehicles not being used should be moved to a long-term spot, including vehicles in handicapped spots. There are six long-term spots in Condo VI; two in PP # 19, two in PP # 44A, and two in PP # 45.
• All residents are responsible for their guests’ actions, including parking. Anyone violating the parking rules will have his/her vehicle tagged for potential towing. Anyone who has visitors during the day is asked to have them park in the street so residents may have access to the parking spaces.
Annual Elections…
Annual elections for the Condo VI Board of Managers will be held Thursday, June 11, 2026. Any Condo VI resident interested in running for one of the four available seats for the 2026-2027 term should complete the application that was mailed to all homeowners following all instructions stated in the letter.
Next Condo VI Open Meeting…
Thursday, 6/11/26 at 6:15 PM (Annual Board of Managers elections).
