the management office.
If you should
have any questions or concerns, please call management office.
Washer
& Dryers
Washing machines and dryers are not permitted to be
installed in the individual apartments.
The current plumbing system cannot
handle the demand for water by washing machines and causes the lack of either hot or cold water in the line. Also, the
suds come up through the drains of other units.
Finally, dryers require exhaust
pipes to the exterior of the building. The facade of the building cannot be altered.
Hallways
The hallways are not to be used a storage space
for bicycles, carriages or other. Also, do not leave your garbage in front of your door. Door mats are no longer
permitted either.
Additionally, hallways are not to be decorated for
any holiday.
No Smoking
Smoking in the common areas (hallways, staiwells, laundry rooms and lobbies) is prohibited by law.
Laundry Rooms
We have become
aware of situations concerning the laundry rooms from complaints from residents, who frequently use the laundry rooms.
The complaints are that housekeepers/maids and at times residents are monopolizing
the washers and dryers for hours at a time. The second complaint is that some housekeepers/maids are bringing
in laundry from the outside or are providing “laundry services” to multiple residents.
We acknowledge that there may be too few machines to service each building, but we are limited to how many machines
can be installed because of the size of the rooms. We also acknowledge that at times there are machines
out, due mainly to frequent use, which then further reduces the number of machines available for use. The
laundry room contractor will be contacted to ensure that machines that are out of order are returned to service promptly.
We hope you can help the situation in the laundry rooms by taking into consideration the following:
Machines should not be reserved
Clothes should not
be left in the machines once the cycle is over
The laundry rooms are for the benefit of the residents and
should only be used for resident laundry.
We thank you
for your understanding and assistance.
Compactor Rooms
Nothing should be left on the floor of the compactor
rooms. Recyclables should be brought down to the Third Floor Laundry Rooms and bulk garbage should be brought down to
the loading docks.
All other garbage should be put down the compactor chute.
Apartment Use
The
apartments are to be used for residential purposes only. Home offices are permitted. Other uses of the apartment that
involve the public entering the building to visit the apartment for any other purpose other than to be a guest of the resident
is not permitted.
