Smoke Detectors
We will be starting the first of our semi-annual checks of the smoke detectors in April. This is a very important safety precaution so please allow access to your unit in order for your smoke to be checked. It only takes a couple of minutes. If your detector is not working, it will be replaced at no cost to you
Spring Plantings
Some of you may already be planning your spring planting. Remember the planting of vegetables is not allowed. Any such plantings will be removed. Make sure anything you plant is not a banned or invasive plant. New York has a website you can check – https.//extapps.dec.ny.gov for a listing of such plants. Board approval is required for any plantings in the common areas.
Outside Hose Spigot
If you have the valve for the outside water spigot in your unit, please wait until the nighttime temperatures are no longer below freezing before you open it up.

The Board will not respond to complaints filed anonymously. Whether you are contacting us by email, a written note, or a phone call to the HOA office, please include your name, address, and phone number. This way, we can easily follow up with you. If you are reporting a violation of the Condo’s rules, include proof (for example, photos). The Board will not approach any resident about a violation without proof and your information will never be disclosed. Just remember, many issues can be easily resolved just by having a conversation with your neighbor.
Happy Spring! Happy Passover! Happy Easter!
