Plumbing: Plumbing is the responsibility of the homeowner to the extent plumbing serves a single unit. Plumbing that serves more than one unit is the responsibility of the association to maintain.

Decks: Homeowners are responsible for repairs and replacement. However, the association’s staining contractor has historically included deck staining for free when staining the siding. The association allows this but if the contractor ever stops offering this or if a different contractor is used, this service is not guaranteed to be performed by the association.

Homeowners should be prepared to remove lesser snowfall from their own property if desired.
