Dear Residents,
I hope this message finds you well.
I have made it my priority to drive around the community as much as I can, and I have seen some violations of community guidelines observed recently. As a community, it's essential that we all contribute to maintaining a safe and harmonious environment for everyone. To ensure that our community remains a place we can all be proud to call home, we kindly ask for your cooperation in adhering to the following guidelines:
1. **Trash Disposal**: Properly dispose of trash and recycling in designated areas. Leaving trash outside of compactor or in common areas is not only unsightly but can also attract pests and create sanitation issues. Also placing large cardboard boxes into the compactor will damage it, so be considerate when placing these types of objects into compactor.
2. **Parking Regulations**: Respect parking regulations to avoid inconveniencing yourself or your neighbors. Illegally parked vehicles without proper documentation will be towed at owners’ expense.
3. **Pet Etiquette**: If you have pets, ensure they are leashed in common areas and clean up after them promptly. This helps maintain cleanliness and prevents disturbances to other residents.
4. **Property Maintenance**: Take pride in the appearance of our community by promptly addressing any property maintenance issues. Report any concerns by opening a work order through our members website for resolution. https://condo.cincwebaxis.com/cinc/home
5. **Respect for Common Areas**: Common areas are shared spaces for all residents to enjoy. Please be considerate of others and clean up after using these areas.
6. **Compliance with Rules and Regulations**: Familiarize yourself with community rules and regulations and ensure compliance to promote a safe and respectful environment for all.
7.** Stairs** Per the previous Fire Inspection we were instructed not to allow anything to be stored under the stairs. Inspection is coming up so please refrain from leaving bikes, grills and other items under the stairs.
We understand that oversights can happen, but it's crucial that we work together to address these issues promptly. By respecting our community guidelines, we can foster a positive living environment for everyone.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to the community management team.
Best regards,
Ray Ferreris, LCAM
Property Manager

Treasurer’s Report May 15, , 2024 (numbers are of April 30, 2024)

Bank Accounts
Overall, we have a total of $804k in the various bank accounts.
· Operating Account
The operating account balance is $117k.
With only 25% of the year’s data to go by, it is still early but there are a few items
I am projecting will end the year over-budget.
The insurance overage is currently up for renewal and there will be a
substantial increase over what was budgeted.
It is hard to predict what will occur going forward but legal fees will very likely
end up well over-budget, largely due to construction issues.
Plumbing issues continue to be a problem and the total cost is projected to be
significantly over-budget.
· Reserve Fund
The Reserve Fund currently has $414k in the bank.
As reported earlier, we had two more buildings re-roofed this month and that is
paid out of the Reserve Fund.
· Delinquencies
Delinquencies amounted to just under $32k.
That is a reduction of about $500 since last month.
The majority of delinquencies are less than 60 days old or are of smaller amounts.
But there is a total of $11k that is more than 90 days old. Three accounts are with
the attorney for collection. Demand letters have been sent to those owners who’s
arears are for older larger amounts.
· Balcony Deposits
We have $273k in deposits from owners for extended balconies. Payment for the
last two holdouts was made earlier this month so we are finally up to date.
The money is on hold until the respective balcony is completed at which time the
applicable amount will be used to offset part of the payment to the contractor.
Kind of a Play on Words...but if you are in doubt as to what you can plant??????
