is there a way to get this information (or at least the highlights) out to everyone in the building? i am thinking of renters who may not know about some of these rules. or make sure the owners are responsible for letting their tenants know what is expected of them. i know that this has been an issue for me in the past as there are renters above me. i was glad to see the inclusion of taking shoes off when in the units since it can get quite noisy at 2 am. :)

For those who couldn't make the July 25 meeting at which we discussed
the rules changes, here is the final version passed after soliciting
input and receiving suggestions at the meeting:

The rules are now in effect, so PLEASE read them.
The most important for immediate concern:
1) Guest parking will be strictly enforced - guest spots ARE NOT for
owner use. They are for guests, and long term parking (24 hours or
more) by guests require owners to notify either First Properties or
the Board.
2) No charcoal/open-fires on balconies. This is a city ordinance.
3) NO DOGS in the front lobby. For reasons explained ad nauseam in the
past, the front lobby area is a dog-free zone.
4) NO BIKES out the front door, also for reasons explained ad nauseam
in the past. Take bikes out the back door.
5) DO NOT prop open either the front doors or the back doors. It sets
of alters. Don't use the mats or the flower pots to prop them open.
6) Moves in or out require that First Properties be notified
7) Be courteous and don't make noise that will both neighbors, don't
throw limes from margueritas off the balconies, don't let dogs defecate
or urinate on balconies, and don't have keggers late at night
8) If your pet as an "accident" inside the building or by the back
door, that happens. Just clean it up.
There are other issues, of course, but these are some that have occured
in the very recent past that have caused problems.
Note the fine/penalty structure associated the various rules.
The Board is trying to balance the concerns of all residents, and not
everybody will be pleased, but we're trying to develop a community of
shared responsibility where rules and their enforcement aren't needed.
