MAINTENANCE

The Association and its designated agents and employees shall have the right to enter any unit at any reasonable hour of the day for any perceived emergency or any other purpose permitted under the CityView Declaration, the Bylaws or these rules.
The management company shall be responsible for coordinating the cleaning of the common areas and other maintenance tasks.
Unit owners shall, at their own expense, provide all necessary cleaning, maintenance and repairs necessary to keep their unit in first class condition.
Unit owners shall also keep clean all limited common elements appurtenant to their unit, including exterior windows and doors, balconies, patios, decks, terraces and any allocated storage rooms.
Unit owners and residents are responsible for replacing burned out light bulbs in their own unit and storage room.
Unit owners and residents should immediately inform the management company whenever any lights in the common areas are observed to be not working.
Exterior windows in a unit which cannot be safely cleaned and maintained by an owner or resident from within the unit shall be cleaned and maintained by the Association, and the cost of such cleaning shall be assessed against the owner as a specific assessment.
Unit owners and residents are responsible for notifying the management company of any water intrusion issues that might cause moisture or mold.
Since all units share common plumbing lines, caution must be exercised to prevent clogs in the drain lines.
Liquid grease or other materials that can solidify may be not be poured into sink drains or the toilet.
Only human waste and toilet tissue may be flushed down the toilets.
Cat litter, paper towels, feminine products, cotton swabs, dental floss, baby wipes, condoms, etc. must be placed in the trash.
Unit owners and residents will be held responsible for the cost of services required to unstop clogs and any breakage or other damage that may result from violation of this regulation.
Unit owners and residents are required to maintain an adequate heat level in the unit during the winter months even if the unit is vacant.
Unit owners and residents will be held financially responsible for any repairs and damage caused by broken pipes that freeze or burst due to inadequate heat inside the unit.
Unit owners and residents are also required to maintain adequate cooling levels in the warmer months even if the unit is vacant.
Unit owners and residents are responsible for regularly changing the air filters in their air handling unit (in the “mechanical” closet in their unit).
In most cases, the compressor to the HVAC system is located on the roof. If repairs are needed, the unit owner must hire a contractor to repair or replace this equipment.
The management company can provide contractor recommendations, but the unit owner must make the final decision.
Unit owners must coordinate the work to be done by the contractor with the maintenance manager to allow access to the secure roof.
Service times scheduled after normal business hours during the week or on weekends will require payment of an additional service charge if access to the roof is required or the maintenance manager is involved.
Any work undertaken within a unit or limited common element shall be done expeditiously and in a good and workman like manner during normal working hours, without undue disturbance to other unit owners.
Any substantial repairs or alterations must be completed pursuant to a building permit duly issued and in accordance with all applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations.
Any unit owner having any work performed within their unit or limited common element shall be fully and personally liable to the Association and the other unit owners for any damage to the common elements or facilities of the building or to any other units for any injury to any unit owner or other person arising in any way out of such work.
If a unit owner, resident, workman, or moving company accidentally damages a unit or any part of the common area (e.g., a heavy piece of furniture damages a wall or scratches a floor), the owner or resident must have the damage repaired by an approved contractor at their expense.
If a resident observes any problem related to the workmanship or behavior of a contractor in the common areas, they should immediately report it to the management company. Residents should not engage directly with the contractor.
If a unit owner fails to make any required maintenance, repairs and replacements for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice from the board, or within such shorter period as the board may reasonably specify in its notice if the failure is affecting other units, the board may cause the same work to be done at the expense of the unit owner.
In the event the board makes repairs and assesses a unit owner for the same, the owner shall pay the assessment within thirty (30) days of demand by the board.
Unit owners and residents shall promptly report to the management company any defects or needs for repairs for which the Association or any other unit owners are responsible.
These rules and regulations have been established to protect the health, safety, security, comfort, and financial interests of our owners and all other residents. Noncompliance can result in fines and/or additional consequences.
