Fixing What Breaks - Repairs, Insurance, Upkeep

Condominium Unit Maintenance
All owners and residents are expected to maintain their unit’s appearance and functions. This includes repairs to interior walls, floors, and ceilings, as well as routine repairs and upkeep to appliances and heating and air conditioning.

Individual Unit Repairs
All repairs to the interior of condominium units are the responsibility of individual owners. The Association does not replace, repair, or clean windows, screens, paint walls, repair electrical wires, phones, cable service, plumbing, or clean carpets inside individual units.

Remodeling and Redesign
Each individual owner is entitled to remodel and redesign the interior of their unit as they see fit, provided it does not affect the structural integrity or outward appearance of the buildings, hallways, or main structure. Owners assume full responsibility for any and all damage resulting from improvements, repairs, or remodeling projects they undertake.

It is suggested that an owner about to undertake any major renovation inform the Board of Directors, not for permission, but to ensure that the removal of a wall or door frame will not affect the common areas or structural integrity of the building.

Owners may request permission from the Board of Directors to undertake projects that would slightly alter the outward appearance of the buildings. Such projects will be approved if they meet strict standards, abide by all applicable codes, and are deemed attractive and add value to the complex.

Home Owners/Renters Insurance
All unit owners are required to maintain adequate owners insurance to cover the interior of their units and their personal belongings. All renters must maintain additional renters insurance covering their personal belongings. The Association does not accept responsibility for personal belongings, cars, bikes, or any item stored or kept on the property.

Air Conditioning and Heating
All owners are responsible for the functioning and repairs of their own air conditioning, hot water, and heating units. Each owner is also responsible in the event that these units need to be replaced. Any damage caused by the malfunctioning of an AC or heating unit is the sole responsibility of the owner of that heating or cooling unit.

External and Common Area Upkeep
The Board of Directors hires out for the weekly cleaning of all building interiors, including the vacuuming and trash removal from the laundry room.

Repairs and Renovations to external and common areas are paid for with Association dues. The Board of Directors maintains a yearly repair and upkeep schedule.
