Question 12

12) Liability:

Accepted Answer

Renovations in your unit may change your insurance needs, so reviewing your policy is recommended.
a)     Water heaters: The Board has mandated that all hot water heaters and the pan it sits in be replaced every 6 years. The City of Marco Island requires that heaters be hard-wired, rather than plugged in. To do this requires an electrician and a permit.
b) “Flood Busters” are devices for detecting water leaks. CB’s Board has mandated Flood Busters for the hot water heater pan, and it is recommended to place a Flood Buster in the air-conditioner pan and for the washer/dryer area. They require a 9-volt battery. Although they have an alarm to indicate low power, the battery should be replaced annually. They can be purchased in the office for $25.00 each.
c) Owners must schedule semiannual maintenance with a qualified HVAC contractor and provide documentation of completion to the office.  If you use one of the group rate contractors arranged by the Association, this documentation will be supplied to the office by the contractors.
d) Washing machines and dishwashers: Original appliances should be replaced. If one fails there is potential for water damage for which you are liable. A dishwasher can leak badly before you are aware of it. 
e) Ceiling fan blades develop stress cracks in time and may break. Do not leave fans on while you are away as a broken blade could damage a sprinkler head, or worse.
f)Failure to Comply: If owner fails to follow the above mandates and damage occurs from owner’s appliance to owner’s unit or others, Owner will be responsible for all damages.

b)      Put trash into heavy-duty bags and tie them securely before they go into the chute. Do not bag recyclables. Glass and large objects such as pizza boxes must be placed on the floor, not in the chute. Do not place any container of liquid on the control box as a spill can cause a short circuit and disable the system.
c)      Newspapers must be tied tightly before placing them in the trash chute. Twine for this is available at the office at no charge.
d)      Garbage Disposals improperly used may cause sewage backups. Do not insert tough or stringy items such as grapefruit or orange peel, bones or shells, banana peels, corn husks, celery, pasta, etc. These have all caused problems in the past. Run plenty of water before and after disposing refuse.
e)      Dishwashers may not drain after prolonged disuse. Boiling water allowed to sit in the base for a few minutes will often promote normal drainage.
f)       Toilets: Colored cleaners such as Tidy Bowl will permanently stain grout or carpet if spilled. Don’t use bleach in the tanks because it destroys seals and plastic parts.
g)      No flammable or explosive substances may be kept in any unit except those used for household purposes.

Question 15

15) Renovations:

Accepted Answer

a)     Alterations to your unit must be approved in advance by submitting a Hold Harmless Agreement to the board to assure proper workmanship performed by a licensed Florida general contractor, to avoid damage to the common areas and to ensure compliance with the governing documents. Work may be done between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday thru Friday, no weekends or holidays permitted. Workers must be informed to sign in and out of the office daily.

b)      Major or prolonged projects may be done between: May 1 Thru September 30. All Proper Permits must be posted prior to work starting.

Crescent Beach Condominium Board of Director's has put in effect a policy that would allow remodeling of units with the least amount of impact on our residents. This policy will benefit all owners.

Any change made to your unit requires written approval from the Board. Florida Building Code Section 104.1 requires permits. Call the Building Department to clarify the work and whether a permit is required. Marco Island ordinance 01-36 Section104.4.1.6 states all construction within city limits must be performed and supervised by a licensed general, building or residential contractor.

Important: There is a $500.00 security deposit required by the contractor prior to commencement. All work must be completed by September 30. If contractor is still in building after September 30; contractor will be fined $100 per day.

Make sure your contractor carries sufficient insurance to protect you from liability if an accident or damage to common areas should occur. Inform your contractor to be careful of sprinkler heads in the lobby and especially the entrance to your unit. Have your contractor stop in at the office to inform us when they arrive. The elevator must be padded before they can begin working.

When renovation is in progress one elevator must have protective covering and be used for contractors to bring in supplies. This can be an inconvenience to owners since only one elevator is in use. Therefore, the Association wants all remodeling done by September 30. Only units that require immediate attention have the right to make repairs to correct the problem after that date.

Beginning October 1 to May 1 construction as listed will not be permitted.
1.      Removal and installation of tile
2.      Removal and installation of cabinets
3.      Removal and installation of interior walls
4.      Removal and installation of bathroom tubs or shower stalls
5.      Removal and installation of counter tops
6.      New installation and replacement of storm shutters and sliders.

The following work is permitted during the year.
1.      Painting or wall papering
2.      Replacement of faucets
3.      Replacement of appliances
4.      Replacement of carpeting
5.      Replacement of mirrors
6.      Replacement of hot water tanks
7.      Repairs to storm shutters and sliders

Prior to occupying your unit after renovation, you will need from your contractor a Certificate of Completion from the City of Marco Island. This is to ensure that your unit is up to code and no damage can occur to other units.
