We will be having the brass on our elevators polished September 8th - October 15th. Our crew will be working on 1 elevator at a time and have the elevator locked out while they are working.
We may experience longer than usual wait times when calling the elevator during heavy usage times.
We thank you in advance for your patience and again, we are so happy to have this work done and further beautify our building.
Dear Riverfront Condominiums Community,
I'm sorry if this comes off aggressive in any way, but it's very much necessary.
I wanted to share the constant and ongoing issues management and the board faces on a regular basis no matter how hard we try to make things work.
There are renters who move in and out as they please. Without authorization or scheduling with the office. They take it upon themselves to move in or out after hours and or through the lobby and often causing damage to the property. Which, in turn, costs everyone money.
The renters rules are provided to Both owners and their renters so they are aware and to avoid issues, violations and fines. Still multiple issues continue to happen and management and the board get criticized and threatened for trying to uphold the rules.
There are long time owners whose tenants break rules of all sorts that want to challenge their knowledge of the rules and refuse to take responsibility for their tenants.
Renting your unit should not disrupt the quiet enjoyment of all the other residents, owners and tenants alike.
Certain residents with pets continue to allow their dogs to urinate on the planters at the front door entrance. Maintenance has to continually spend hours cleaning and spraying the area to detour the dog from doing this again but it continues to happen.
It is not the dog's fault. This is time that maintenance could be spending on maintaining the building
Residents continue to leave food and drinks on the credenza in the lobby destroying the wood. We just had the top restored and people continue to trash it.
Food deliveries are left in the lobby for days and maintenance has to dispose of it due to the odor and possible insects that it will attract.
Residents are spilling food and drinks in the hallways, elevators, and lobby and are not cleaning up the mess. Leaving it for staff to clean up.
People leave their leftovers and trash from food purchased for restaurants in the lobby only to be picked up by maintenance or the cleaning company.
There are residents who are not following the rules, challenging the office staff, having altercations with staff, cursing at staff, and creating legal issues only because residents do not want to follow the rules that were in place when residents purchased or rented their units.
The office staff tries really hard to communicate with residents on many different subjects to keep the peace and work very hard to do their job with a smile on their face even though they are being abused by some.
The 5 board members are "Volunteers". They are NOT paid, and they spend hours on end working on delinquencies, violators, countless meetings, budgets etc.
The board members are co-owners who pay their dues like every other owner. Yet they do not get the credit for the countless hours they volunteer for the good of the Association.
The rules have not changed, they are exactly the same as the day each owner purchased their unit.
Owners and Renters chose to purchase or rent a unit at Riverfront Condos because they felt it was a nice, clean and well operated building located on the beautiful Detroit River.
All we are asking for is that residents follow the rules, don't trash the property, not harass the office staff for doing their job, and take responsibility for yours or your renters actions.
We must live as a community who takes ownership, pride and respect the office staff and board members duties. If we can not do this, the association will not be successful.
Good afternoon, Riverfront Residents,
Please be informed that the Management staff are NOT permitted to hold keys for anyone at any time or provide keys to anyone other than "Unit Owners".
Including but not limited to:
Thank you for your understanding.
As the selling season is in full swing, the management team here at Riverfront is asking that in the early stages of you selling your condo, that you as the owner along with your realtor visit our office so that we may provide you and your realtor with a copy of our condo bylaws, and rules and regulations. Additionally at this time we will provide direction for what to expect during the process and what realtors should expect from Riverfront staff as they are going through the selling process. Our goal is to have everyone informed, and your selling process go smoothly. We appreciate you cooperation and working with our office.
We would like to remind you all to PLEASE, ONLY throw TIGHTLY BAGGED TRASH down the trash chute. We are having a huge issue with residents throwing glass, plastic bottles, cardboard, and open food down the trash chute and it is coming at significant cost to the association. We have had more issues with this recently than ever before. When these items are thrown down the trash chute it backs up the trash chute, creates a GIANT mess our maintenance technicians have to clean up, and DAMAGES the trash compactor. We have had to replace many components on our trash compactor already this year and if this continues we will have to replace them again - far before the life expectancy we should have from these parts. The HOA dues that you pay monthly are to cover the cost of all the buildings expenses. Repairs to our compactor and maintenance time to spend cleaning up come out of your pocket and are completely avoidable. We are asking all of you for your help here and be cognizant to ONLY throw TIGHLY BAGGED TRASH down the chute.
Reminder that smoke emanation from your unit going into any hallways or other persons unit is strictly prohibited. Co-owners who smoke within their Condominium unit, or who permit their guests, tenants, residents, and/or non-co-owner occupants to smoke within their Condominium unit, are encouraged to take the following steps in order to limit or eliminate the smoke that may enter the shared common elements or another co-owner’s Condominium unit:
(1) install weatherstripping around the inside frame of the Condominium unit’s entry door.
(2) install a door sweep on the Condominium unit’s entry door.
(3) install an air purifier with HEPA carbon filters that will accommodate the Condominium unit's size. -PLEASE NOTE:** This step is extremely important** Smoke travels through the vents and travels to other units, making air filter installation a crucial step to eliminate smoke emanating from your unit.
(4) seal all penetrations in walls, ceilings, and floors.
