Village Condominium Association
Rules and Regulations,
Master Deed and By-Laws
Each unit owner should obtain a copy of the
Master Deed, By-Laws and Rules and Regulations as soon as they move
into their unit. The first copy of these documents
can be
obtained from the Village office at no cost. There is a charge for
additional or replacement copies. Documents are also available through Barkan
Management's CINC portal.
Some of our more important rules are:
- No pets allowed.
- No structural or architectural changes may be made without written permission of the Board of Managers.
- No bush or tree planting or removal may be done without written permission of the Board of Managers.
If unit owners want or need to replace their windows, doors, air conditioners or furnaces, written approval must be obtained from the Board of Managers before any work can commence.
No changes are allowed to the common areas. Common areas include attics, bulkheads, stoops, steps, outer walls and chimneys. The individual unit owner does not own these areas, among others.
According to the Master Deed and By-laws, all additions, alterations or improvements must have written prior approval from the Board of Managers before work may be started. No exterior changes, additions, structures, or projections can be erected, attached or placed upon any unit without this approval. These include antennas, chimney liners, patios, and vents.
The Board of Managers consists of five unit owners, elected at the
Annual Meeting held on the second Monday in May. They serve two-year
terms. The Board of Managers is mandated by law to make all decisions
on behalf of the Association and oversee all that is involved in
managing the Village. They work together with the management company.
The Town picks up garbage and trash twice weekly from the dumpsters, located in the Village parking lots. If the closest dumpster is full, please use another one. Watertown uses a single-stream system for recycling glass, paper, plastic and metal, with certain restrictions. The recycling toters are emptied once a week. White goods such as washers, dryers, refrigerators, water heaters, and stoves, as well as air conditioners and microwave ovens, cannot be put into dumpsters. No tires, TVs, computer monitors, mattresses, furniture, carpets, remodeling materials or wood are to be put into the dumpsters. White goods and bulk items can be scheduled for pickup for a fee by calling 781-289-0500 or 844-737-8254.
