Noise
Living in a condominium is not the same as living in a single-family home. The close proximity of your neighbors requires a high level of consideration so that we all can enjoy our homes peacefully. Please be mindful of activities that will transmit sounds through the floors and keep your television and stereo at a level which will not travel through walls and floors. Please keep voices at a reasonable level, especially in the hallways.
Pets
Pets that may be kept in an apartment, provided they are preregistered with the Management Office, are cats (maximum of one); small domestic animals excluding dogs; fish, turtles, and small birds; and Seeing Eye or Hearing dogs. Guest of owners and/or residents are not permitted to bring pets into the building. Pets in the halls or common areas must be carried in appropriate containers.
