GARAGE REMINDER: PARKING SPSACES ARE FOR VEHICLES ONLY
This is a friendly reminder of the building’s parking garage rule. According to the Association Rules:
Parking spaces are to be used for parking vehicles only and cannot be used for storage, living, recreational, or business purposes.
We are aware that some items are currently being stored in the garage area. If you have belongings stored in your parking space or elsewhere in the garage, please arrange to have them removed by the end of the month. Beginning next month, any units that continue to use garage spaces for storage may be contacted individually to address the issue. Thank you for helping keep the garage safe, accessible, and in compliance with building rules. We appreciate everyone’s cooperation.
