Be a Good Neighbor and Noise

As part of a community it is important to be considerate of our neighbors. Everyone should try to be amicable, pleasant and thoughtful. Please observe quite time between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Avoid the use of any noise generating equipment, and monitor your children and pet’s activities that may cause excessive floor noise. However, there are times when we must ask others to do the same. If there is an issue with one of your neighbors, please try to have a conversation with them to resolve the issue. If this does not work, send us an email at info@pinnacle-md.com and give us as much detail as possible. You can remain anonymous, but this will limit what we can do to assist you.

Heating/Air Conditioning Condensate Lines

Clean your condensation line on a regular basis. This will prevent a backup and possible water damage. You will be responsible for any damage to your unit or your neighbor’s unit. A simple way to do this, is to pour a cup of bleach in the drain every three months or so.

Insurance

You are required to have up-to-date home owner’s insurance on your property. Even though the condo association has a master policy, the home owner’s insurance is responsible for the first $5,000, in the event of a fire, water leak or other damage that your unit may cause to other units or the building.

The Condominium Master Policies Insurance must cover both general common elements and limited common elements in units. Up to $5,000 of the deductible will be the responsibility of the unit owner where the damage originated.

  • To obtain a copy of the Master Policy contact: Agent Chase Hudson at 240.750.5718

If you have a claim, contact your property manager prior to submitting a claim at 410-760-4203

This took effect June 1, 2009. This law supersedes anything in existing documents and there is no need to update governing documents.
