FIRE & SAFETY
4) FIRE & SAFETY
a. Leaks: If you discover a leak in your unit or a common area, please report it to the front desk immediately to minimize damage.
b. Grills: The use of portable cooking grills of any kind is not permitted on the property and is a direct violation of county fire ordinances. The use of any grills or outdoor cooking devices are prohibited from patios, balconies, storage areas, any common area or adjacent to the building exteriors whether in use or for storage.
c. Flammable Materials: Storage of flammable fluids/liquids or explosive materials within the building or anywhere within the community is strictly prohibited.
d. Fire Hazards: Storage of paper or plastic bags or flammable material, adjacent to the hot water heater, HVAC, stove, refrigerator or other electrical appliance creates a health and fire hazard and is strictly prohibited.
e. Fire/Life Safety Devices: Disconnecting or disabling the smoke/fire alarms is prohibited. Do not paint your sprinkler heads, fire alarm annunciator (speakers) or smoke/CO detectors. This will cause a deficiency when going through annual fire inspection for city certification, and you will be required to replace the device.
f. Fire Emergency Procedures: When the fire alarm sounds, follow directions given over the loudspeakers.
g. Speed Limit: For the protection of all residents, please drive slowly and with utmost care through the parking garage. The speed limit is 10 MPH and reduced to 5MPH in the turns to ramps. Fines will be imposed for failure to obey speed limits and stop signs. In addition, please follow your neighbors at a safe distance as some people prefer to back-in park to their spaces.
h. Insurance: Resident’s personal possessions and vehicles are not covered for fire, theft or other perils. Owners are required to maintain a homeowner’s insurance coverage for all personal belongings and/or appliances and fixtures. The Association’s insurance policy has a deductible of $25,000. Owners are responsible to ensure adequate coverage is provided by their own “HO6” policy. Resident acknowledges and agrees that he/she has been advised to protect his/her personal property with homeowner’s insurance. All renters are required to have and maintain renter’s insurance. Proof of insurance must be submitted annually. Because this policy helps assure the safety and stability of our community, any owner failing to supply proof of insurance is subject to fines.
i. Heating of Units in Colder Months: To prevent damage during the colder months, all residents are required to keep the internal temperature of their units at no less than 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Unit owners are required to keep their heating units in good working order and repair at all times.
- a. North Tower residents are required to have their heating/cooling units inspected annually between January 1 and April 30 as identified in Appendix E.
- b. South Tower residents are required to have their PTAC inspected and maintenance between January 1st and March 31st of every year as identified in Appendix E.
j. Hot Water Heater (CityView II only): Unit Owners are required to replace any hot water heater that is at the end of the hot water heater’s warranty period, or every ten (10) years, whichever period is shorter, to minimize the chance of failure and resulting damage to any of the Units and/or Common Elements. Unit Owners are responsible for any and all damage resulting from the failure of the Unit Owner’s hot water heater as identified in Appendix F.
k. Emergency Contacts: All residents are to supply the Management Office with the names and phone numbers of persons to contact in the event of an emergency. The Community Manager and front desk should have the following phone numbers and information:
- i. Names of individuals living in your unit, including a Tenant Information Form, if applicable.
- ii. Work and cell phone numbers of those living in your unit.
- iii. Name and phone number of a friend or relative, as a back-up contact.
