Furthermore, if the Residential Unit Owner is not personally present to open and permit an entry to his or her Residential Unit at any time when an entry therein is necessary or permissible under these Rules and Regulations or under the By-Laws, and has not furnished a key to the condominium Board or the Managing Agent, then the Condominium Board or Managing Agent or their agents (but, except in an emergency, only when specifically authorized by an officer of the Condominium or an officer of the managing agent) may forcibly enter such Unit without liability for damages or trespass by reason thereof (if, during such entry, reasonable care is given to such Residential Unit Owner's property).

40. Complaints

Complaints regarding the management of the Building and grounds or regarding the action of other Unit Owners shall be made in writing to the Board of Managers.

Please be advised that all common charges and other related condominium charges are due on the first of the month. A grace period of 10 days is granted to all unit owners to ensure that aforementioned payments are received by the condominium in a timely manner. There is a $50 late fee for any common charge payments received after the 10th of the month it's due. There will also be a $50 late fee for all other account balance charges received after the 10th of the month, including, but not limited to, architectural, engineering, legal, administrative, and house rules violation fees.
