room will be $ 20.00 prorated

Are my personal contents insured by the Corporation? No. The Corporation carries insurance for the building and third party liability, as well as

insurance to cover the Board of Directors.

This insurance does not, however, cover contents or improvements in owners suites so all

owners should obtain their own Condominium Owner’s Insurance.

How does the ENTERPHONE system work? You will hear a distinctive double ring when someone is calling you from the lobby. If you wish

them to enter, push “9” on your telephone dial. If you do not want to permit entry, simply

hang up the phone.

If you are on the telephone when a visitor rings, you will hear a soft overtone ringing on your

QUESTIONS OFTEN ASKED cont’d

Can I have a barbecue on my balcony? No barbecues are permitted except seasonal furniture (eg. chairs, table) is to be stored on the

balconies. If you put down indoor / outdoor carpeting, please remove it in the Fall as trapped

moisture will damage the cement floor. Do not feed the birds.


Who maintains the heating / air conditioning system? Each suite is individually controlled by the resident. Twice a year, the heating / air conditioning

unit is cleaned and filters are replaced under contract. The cost for this is borne by the

Corporation. In addition, the Corporation has contracted for all repairs and maintenance to the

heating / air conditioning units. As a result, if you are experiencing problems with the units,

contact the Management Office and arrangements will be made to facilitate the repairs.

As hydro costs for the unit are the unit owners responsibility through Enercan. , you are

encouraged to use energy-conserving measurers wherever possible. For example, do not turn

up the heating system and then open the windows. In the Summer, close your blinds or drapes

to cool your suite before adjusting the air conditioning. Please turn off (or turn down) the air

conditioning when you are out or on vacation and all lights and appliances when not in use.

How does our air-flow system work? We have a state of the art air flow-through system which requires your help to be effective. In

the Winter, please make sure the fan control on your unit thermostat is in the “AUTO or ON”

position if you are using a humidifier. The engineers who designed the system recommend

against the use of a humidifier; if you must use one, put it on “LOW” and always keep your fan

“ON”.

As well, please do not install weather stripping around your door. If you have a problem with

drafts, put stripping on the bottom of your door only. A total blockage can cause problems with

airflow, odours and condensation. Never wedge your suite doors open as this constitutes a fire

hazard.

Cooking Smells ALWAYS use your stove fan when cooking so that food odours do not enter into the hallways.

Keep your unit doors closed at all times.
