Election Results…
Thank you to all homeowners who participated in last month’s annual elections for the Condo VI Board of Managers. We reached a quorum with an amazing 75% voter turnout! The new Board for the 2026-2027 term is as follows:
• PRESIDENT: Vinnie Amodio
• VICE PRESIDENT: Ruby Ullrich
SECRETARY: Rosemary Dantone
• TREASURER: Patty Ernst / CO-TREASURER: Christian Vidal
• BOARD MANAGERS: Fran Augi, Wanda Brown, Lori Jeacoma, & Catherine Romano
Thank you very much to outgoing Board member, Arlette Giliberto, for her nine years of service to the Board of Managers. In addition, special thanks to Leslie Mac Millan for her assistance on the Election Committee.
Exterminating…
Condo VI covers the cost of termite and carpenter ant eradication only. Any other exterminating needs are the responsibility of the homeowner. Any homeowner needing an exterminator should contact the Condo’s contracted exterminator, Michael Calveley, from Total Pest Control, directly at 631-371-6143. He will determine whether the billing goes to Condo VI or the homeowner. Residents should not submit work orders to Maintenance for exterminating needs, or this information will simply be reiterated.
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 that could cause fires.
• BBQs must not be used near buildings and must be at least twelve (12) inches from all fences and siding. Tiki torches, fire pits, or any items that cause open flames on patios/balconies 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.
Contractor Requirements…
Any resident having exterior work done to his/her unit MUST obtain a copy of the license, liability insurance (naming Condo VI as an additional insured), and workers’ compensation insurance from the contractor(s) performing the work. 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. No work may commence until Board approval is obtained.
Work Orders…
All residents are reminded that when a work order is submitted, they will receive an e-mail confirmation. 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.
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.
Streetlights…
It is important to keep the community well-lit at night. Anyone noticing a light pole out is asked to submit a work order referencing the pole number so it may be addressed by the Maintenance Department.
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.
• PLEASE HELP KEEP CONDO VI CLEAN!!! 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. It’s really not that hard to dispose of garbage properly. Any resident who is found littering will have action taken against him/her by the Board.
• Cans/plastic and newspapers should be discarded in the appropriate recycling dumpsters scattered throughout the complex. Per the Town of Brookhaven, glass does not get recycled.
• Any complaints about dumpsters must be directed to the HOA, not Condo VI.
• 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. Allowances for weekends and holidays must be made. Homeowners may pay their common charges by utilizing one of the three following methods:
• NEW ONLINE PAYMENT FEATURE! All Condo VI residents’ e-mail addresses were enrolled, and all homeowners should have received a welcome e-mail a few weeks ago. Refer to the information in the newsletter and contact the HOA Office for more information.
• Monthly automatic 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. Again, weekends and holidays must be considered.
• Old school checks made payable to “Bretton Woods – Condo VI” that may be mailed or hand-delivered to the Clubhouse at 1027 Clubhouse Court, Coram, NY 11727.
Parking… The following rules MUST be adhered to at all times:
• Head-in parking only and no reserved parking (regular or handicapped).
• The speed limit is 25 MPH throughout the entire community & 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.
• Commercial vehicles are not permitted to park in parking plazas overnight.
• 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.
