Managementagency
Taylor Management http://www.taylormgt.com manages the complex. The Community Administrator is Shane’y Gales (sgales@taylormgt.com). They look after everything outside of your unit.
You will receive community notifications on the email address you stipulate in the Census Form.
IMPORTANT: On occasion, the Association will issue notices of inspections, repairs, repaving, etc. Please make sure you comply with those, otherwise they will impose a fine on your unit, which you will be responsible for.
Mail and trash
Both are located in the shed across the street.
Mailbox
The unit assigned to you is # 1, on the second bank of mailboxes.
Rugs/flooring
The Association requires that 80% of the flooring be covered by rugs, to minimize noise disturbances.
Facilities
You have access to the tennis courts and pool, open during the summer.
Grilling
Charcoal, gas, and any open flame grills are prohibited by the HOA.
AC cover
IMPORTANT: Please uncover/cover the outdoor AC unit at the start/end of the cooling season (typically Memorial Day to Labor Day). Operating the AC with the cover on will damage the unit and you will be responsible for any needed repairs including up to the replacement of the unit.
The AC unit is located outside, below your deck and the cover is currently installed and secured with bungee cords.
Dryer/washer unit
Please remove lint after every use. Also, don’t push the dryer against the wall since it compresses the exhaust vent, compromising heating efficiency. If the dryer is not heating as usual, make sure it’s lint-free and has enough separation from the back wall (use the tile line as reference).
Detergent for the washer goes directly in the tub.
User Manuals
Dryer vent and chimney cleaning
The Association requires cleaning every couple of years. We will take care of that for you. We will schedule it at a convenient time since someone needs to be home to have the service performed.
Furnace filter
The filter must be replaced every season (i.e. every three months). There are two new filters in the laundry room to get you started. Filter size is 16 x 25 x 1 (MERV 8 recommended).
Light bulbs and paint
Light bulbs have been replaced with LEDs to give you trouble-free illumination. There is spare paint in the basement closet.
Smoke and CO alarms
There are two smoke alarms and two CO detectors in the unit, one pair on each floor. They all have fresh batteries, as of November, 2023. Please check the operation of the alarms periodically and replace the batteries if they start beeping (they should last a few years).
NJ state inspections
Occasionally, the condo has to undergo safety state inspections. These are mandatory and will require you to be home at the date/time designated by the state of New Jersey, to avoid fines.
