Q: Why am I being charged fines?

A:  In order to maintain the cleanliness and order of the building, fees may be assessed in certain cases. A fine of up to $100, in accordance with Florida statutes and condominium by-laws, may be charged to the responsible unit owner for the following violations: 

• Littering trash such as: cigarettes, bottle caps, beer bottles, junk mail, etc., throughout the common areas of the building

• Storage of personal items in the parking areas as prohibited by condominium policy, insurance agreement, and statutory fire codes

• Disposing of large boxes, furniture or other bulky items, in or around the dumpsters - please break down these items into smaller pieces and deposit them inside the container

• Throwing trash onto a dumpster that is overflowing - please check other dumpster or wait until the trash is collected the following day

• Parking in front of the dumpster, inhibiting the waste collection

• Excessive noise or disorder in common areas sufficient to disturb other residents, especially during the nighttime hours of 10pm - 8am

Q: What is the smoking policy?

A: This is a smoke-free building. Smoking within your home is regulated by your lease agreement with your landlord. However, smoking in the condominium common areas is expressly prohibited, especially the lobby and foyer where residents enter and exit. Anyone seen disposing of cigarette ends from their balconies onto the lawn will be fined up to $100. 

Q: Are pets allowed?

A: Pets are not allowed in the condominium.

This provision does not apply to service animals as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Tenants who require a service animal must provide appropriate documentation as required by law. Emotional support animals are not considered service animals under the ADA, but may be permitted with proper documentation in accordance with applicable fair housing laws.

Q: How much is an additional parking space?

A: Every unit includes one (1) parking space and can pay for one (1) additional parking space for $10 a month. Parking spaces are assigned as they become available following a waitlist based on when each person either (a) purchased their unit or (b) signed a lease to move into a unit. If an owner either (a) sells their unit or (b) a new tenant moves into a unit, they must re-enter the waitlist for a parking space as indicated by the condominium by-laws. 

An owner who is more than 30 days delinquent on any routine or special assessments will lose access to their additional parking space and will only be able to re-enter the waitlist upon full payment of their past-due balance and applicable fees and interest.

Q: How does the Laundry work?

A: We have a laundry room open from 9 am to 9 pm 7 days a week. To use these machines, you have two options:

1. Scan the QR code located on the machine you intend to use with your phone and follow the instructions to download the LaundryValue app where you can pay for and track your washing and drying. 

2. Pay with a Value Transfer Card at the machine. Each unit receives one complimentary card from the management. Users can then load fund onto this card using the kiosk in the laundry room with a credit card, debit card, or tap-to-pay (Apple Pay). If you lose this card, you can purchase one at the kiosk for $5. 

When you are ready to start your wash, simply tap the card on the blue Tap-to-Pay logo on the machine and the funds will be deducted from your card. You can check your balance at any time using the kiosk. 

Q: How does the waste pickup work?

A:  Trash is collected from both dumpsters—one on each side of the building—six (6) times per week, Monday through Saturday, at approximately 6 AM. For this reason, the spaces in front of the dumpsters are designated as No Parking Zones at all times. Any vehicle parked in these areas will be towed at the owner’s expense.

Q: What do I do if my car is towed?

A: Our towing contract is with Specialized Towing. Their phone number is 305-442-9696 and their address is 3235 NW 41st St, Miami, FL 33142.

Vehicles are subject to towing if they are parked in any of the following prohibited areas: blocking the gate, blocking another vehicle, occupying a reserved space without authorization, obstructing the right-of-way within the parking garage (even if parked in front of their own space), parking on the grass, or parking in front of the dumpsters.
