No pets are allowed in Nassau House at all.

Insurance review

Nassau House has had the same insurance carrier for some years now Marie spoke up and said that she has approached another insurance company and spoke with a Mr. Gary Longo who is willing to come in a review the insurance coverage we have now.  Mr. Longo’s name was given to us by our attorney.

Security Cameras

Board is looking into putting up security cameras in the building and around the parking lot area.   One of the areas is the dumpster room and then we could see who is responsible for dumping furniture and large items in the trash room.   Cameras and screen would run approx. $3,000. (for 3 cameras.)  Future wiring was suggested to be installed at the time of installing the original equipment.  Board is looking for the best price and a good company for this project.  This was also advised by our lawyer to protect the association from negligence charges.

Infractions of the Rules and Regulations and Condo Documents.

Rules and regulations are being ignored by some of the owners .

Fans are being placed on the balconies. Fans are not allowed according to the condo documents. Adda called the condo insurance to review the insurance portion of the Nassau House coverage.  Our insurance coverage for the Nassau House is not responsible for any damage that might occur from the fans put up on owner’s balconies.  Should the fan fall down it is the responsibility of the owner not Nassau House. Rick read a portion of the condo documents:

(c) Alteration and Improvement.   Subject to the other provisions of 5.3, and which in all cases shall supercede and have priority over the provisions of this section when in conflict therewith, an apartment owner may make such alteration or improvement to his apartment at his sole and personal cost as he may be advised, provided all work shall be done without disturbing the rights of other apartment owners and further provided that an apartment owner shall make no changes or alterations to any interior balcony wall, exterior wall, balcony or patio, screening, exterior door, windows, structural or load bearing member, electrical service or plumbing service, without first obtaining approval in writing of owners of all other apartments and the approval of the board of directors of the Association.  

Board discussed the adoption of a new rule on lights being placed on the balcony railings.  Tabled till next meeting.

Owners who have work done on the inside of the unit are responsible for any damage or debris left on the carpet of the hallways.  Carpets are being damage by workers being careless.
