Condo VII – May 2026
DATES TO REMEMBER
• May 5 – Cinco de Mayo
• May 10 – Mother’s Day
• May 25 – Memorial Day
Smoke Alarms
Our volunteers started in April and will continue coming around this month for the bi-annual testing of the smoke alarms. A working smoke alarm in each residence is required by law and is for everyone’s safety. The testing takes less than one minute, so please provide the necessary access. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated and may save a life.
The Board would like to remind everyone that our vendors (landscapers, tree trimmers, gutter cleaners, etc.) are here doing the jobs we hired them for. They are not here to do your personal work, and they are NOT to be harassed or berated. Such behavior is uncalled for, and we will not tolerate it. If we find that you verbally mistreated any of our vendors, your privileges will be suspended. Any issues you have with the work being done should be directed to the Board, and we will address them.
Insurance
Whether you are an owner or a renter, you should have insurance coverage for your unit. Make sure you request a Condo policy and that your coverage includes the cost of any improvements you made to your unit as well as your furnishings, electronics and valuables.
Renovations
Prior to any work being done, please refer to the Condo VII Resident Information Book. It contains all the information regarding renovations as well as the necessary forms and documentation that must be submitted. Please make sure you follow the Condo’s requirements. If you need any clarification, please contact the Board before doing any work.
Barbecues
The heat from a BBQ can warp/melt the siding, so make sure you keep it at least 10 feet away from the building. BBQs are not allowed on the sidewalks or common areas. As per the Brookhaven Town Fire Code, propane and charcoal BBQs cannot be used on Upper Lamont balconies.
Fire pits and tiki torches are prohibited throughout Bretton Woods.
Car Washing/Repairs
You cannot wash your car or do any car repairs on the street or in the parking plazas. If you wish to wash your car, you can make use of the car wash hoses on Daryl Drive outside the maintenance yard.
Exterminating
The Condo covers the cost of termite and carpenter ant extermination only. Residents should submit a work order upon discovery of either of these insects. Any other exterminating needs (i.e., rodents, bees, etc.) are the responsibility of the homeowner.
Outside Hose Spigot
By now, all outside hose spigots should be turned on. Submit a work order for any inside or outside valves that are leaking.
Reminder
Nothing should be nailed or screwed into the aluminum siding. Plants, hanging vines, ornaments, etc. are not to be attached or hanging from the fences. The cost of repairing any damage to the siding or fences will be charged to the homeowner.

Thought for the month
“Words are even more feeble on this Memorial Day, for the sight before us is that of a strong and good nation that stands in silence and remembers those who were loved and who, in return, loved their countrymen enough to die for them.” – Ronald Reagan
