INTRODUCTION
The successful operation of a condominium requires the understanding and cooperation of all owners. It is important that each owner be thoroughly familiar with and observe all rules and general information contained in this booklet.
Suggestions regarding rules and regulations should be addressed in writing to the President qf the Association. Rules will be revised if and when they become obsolete, inequitable, or fail to cover existing situations.
The apartment owner is responsible for the proper conduct of members of his family and guests including his children and aides. He should be certain that they too understand and observe the rules and regulations. An abridged version of the rules for guests is on pages 12 and 13.
ABSENCE FROM THE APARTMENT
When leaving an apartment for more than a day or two it is a good policy to notify the office where you can be reached by telephone in the event of an emergency; or submit in writing the name and phone number of a person attending your apartment, your car and your boat. Also turn off your main water valve and the circuit breaker to the hot water heater.
When an apartment is to be left vacant for an extended period of time refer to Checklist When Leaving Apartment Vacant. Also, Keys.
When leaving town end apartment owners are responsible for having their window awnings closed. Please refer to Building – Exterior.

For health and sanitation reasons all garbage and refuse that cannot be disposed of in the kitchen disposal must be securely bagged or wrapped in such as manner that the contents do not spill out on the way down the chute. Wet or damp garbage should be secured in plastic bags because dampness will cause paper bags to burst upon hitting the bottom of the chute causing pest control and odor problems.
NEVER THROW LOOSE GARBAGE, TRASH OR LARGE CARTONS DOWN THE CHUTE.
Use of the chute after 10:00 PM or before 8:00 AM should be avoided because of the possible disturbance of others.
To prevent the clogging of drain lines grease should not be put down the drains. It is best to collect grease in a container which can be kept under refrigeration and then either capped or sealed and disposed of in the dumpster in the trash room.
Coffee grounds cause similar problems and should not be put down drains.
To avoid stoppage of sewer lines and ensuring inconvenience to yourself and others please do not put non-disintegrating items such as paper towels and baby wipes down sinks or toilet bowls.
