***NOTICE TO OWNERS***

In follow-up to the BOD meeting held on 28 Jan 2025 with Keystone engineering in reference to the balcony repairs on the north face of the south building the following clarification is provided.

 We would like to remind residents of the following information:

• Each unit will be inspected prior to work being started and owner will receive a breakdown of what needs to be done prior to the work starting.
• All permanent deck coverings (carpet/tile/elevated flooring/etc.) must be removed during renovation and will not be authorized for re-installation. This cost is bared by the owner and can be done by whoever the owner wishes to have the work done by. If the owner wants the contractor to do the work the cost of the removal is passed on to the owner.
• There may be cases where the repair will require interior floor and ceiling repairs needing to be done. If this is the case interior floor coverings would have to be removed. This pertains to carpets, tile, terrazzo or any other floor covering that would have to be removed to do the necessary repairs. The condo association will only will get that location where the work was done to a paint ready condition. . Anything else is at the owners’ expense. I would suggest that if you have removable tiles or removable planking you should get it removed before any work is started.
• Balconies musty be COMPLETELY cleared of personal belongings prior to the above-referenced inspection date. ( to be announced)
• As described to owners in previous notices, enclosure windows and/or sliding glass doors may need to be removed in order to make repairs to the balcony decks and repair any concrete damage intruding into your unit ceiling or floor.  We will be able to determine the status of the enclosure and sliders following the upcoming inspection.  If removal is required, a watertight wood barrier will be installed in the unit for safety purposes.
• If it is determined that sliding glass doors or enclosures need to be removed it will be at the owners expense. Sliding glass doors that need to be removed and can be reinstalled safely and are deemed serviceable will be reinstalled. Any door that cannot be reinstalled will need to be replaced. That cost is passed on to the owner. The contractor can and will give the owner the option to purchase a new door from them in which they will install at no cost or the owner can use any contractor they which to hire. In that case the owner will have to fill out a unit work request form and submit it to office.  The owner can make the determination if they want the contractor to do it or anyone else of their choosing.
• If the contractor deems that all or parts of an enclosure need to be removed to make repairs this will be at the cost of the owner.
• Sliding glass doors that are deemed serviceable will be stored in the unit they came out of and replaced when the repairs are done.
• There will be a high level of noise and vibration during active demolition.  The Atlantic Room will be available for residents’ use during the balcony restoration. 
• Sliding glass doors may be secured from the outside for safety reasons.  Please do not try to open your door because this may cause damage.
• Homeowners with storm shutters may be required to remove the shutters before repairs can be made, in that case the owner is responsible for removing and installing the shutters at their cost, that work would need to be done prior to any work starting at that unit.
• Any questions regarding the information provided or any clarification needed by owners can be addressed to the office by email to: twintowersmanager@gmail com.
