1. Maintenance Payments.

Maintenance payments are due on the first of the month. Payments received after the tenth will incur a late fee of $25 or 5% of the maintenance fees whichever is greater and other penalties. If payment is not made, the Association will take legal action to collect, including filing a lien and foreclosing on the unit. We recommend that you consider a direct payment program which the Association offers through the management office. Payments are not accepted in the management office.

2. Guests and Visitors.

Residents are responsible for their guests’ and visitors’ adherence to the rules and regulations. Residents shall be both jointly and severally liable and responsible for the actions and conduct of their lessees, guests, domestic partners, employees and visitors. Residents should call their guests’ and visitors’ particular attention to registration requirements and restrictions for the recreation deck, fitness center and other common areas as delineated in these Rules and in the Association’s governing documents.

3. Children.

Children are the sole responsibility of their parents or legal guardians. Their full supervision while within 610 Clematis property is required, including compliance with all rules and regulations of the Association. Loud noises will not be tolerated. Please refer to the recreation deck and fitness center sections for restrictions for these facilities.
* Amended 12/09/09

Pets.

All walking pets must be registered and must be photographed for
record with the management office. Domestic dogs, cats, birds, pocket pets and fish are the only pets permitted at 610 Clematis. All other pets must be Board approved and the rights to maintaining such pets are based on their proper care, supervision and ability to peacefully coexist with their human neighbors. The keeping of such animals will be restricted by all local laws and regulations. The Board reserves the right to revoke pet privileges at any time should a resident pet become a nuisance to residents of other units. Owners should be aware that the Animal Nuisance Law defines “excessive noise” by any animal as “continuous or incessant for a period of ten minutes, or intermittently for one-half hour, to the disturbance of any person at any time of the day or night”.

a) In no case shall more than two walking pets be allowed in any one unit. The combined weight limit for dogs and/or cats in any one unit is 30 pounds.

b) No aggressive animals including Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, Doberman Pinschers, German Shepherds or any breed considered dangerous by the Board may be kept on the property at any time. Residents must control dogs at all times anywhere on 610 Clematis property.

c) Dogs and cats shall not be permitted outside of their owners’ unit unless they are on a leash. At no time are any pets allowed on the recreation deck, in garden areas, lobbies or fitness center and steam room or in any other 610 common areas.

d) Fish or caged domestic (household type) birds may be kept inside the units, subject to the provisions of the Declaration.

e) Unit owners and residents shall pick up all waste from their pets and dispose of same down the trash chute in a sealed plastic bag. If the pet has an accident inside the building or anywhere else on the condominium property, it is the owner’s or resident’s responsibility to immediately clean up after the pet.

f) No diseased animals of any kind shall be kept in a unit or permitted upon the condo property without the prior written consent of the Board. Consent may be withdrawn at any time at a duly-called meeting. In such case, the pet’s owner shall, within two days, remove the pet from 610 Clematis. Consent shall automatically terminate upon the pet’s death or contraction of a communicable disease.

g) Any owner maintaining a pet on the condominium property shall be responsible for, and shall bear the expense of, any and all damages to the property resulting from their pet. Damages shall be assessed by the Board and collected by the Association.

h) Pets may not be on balconies unless accompanied by a responsible adult. Barking dogs must be brought inside immediately.

I) All dogs and cats must be licensed and their identification tags worn at all times. Owners must present a valid rabies inoculation certificate to management upon request.

5. Garbage and Trash.

a) Trash chutes. As is the case throughout Palm Beach County, 610 is a community where recycling is required. Our eco-friendly trash chutes are easy to use and not only help save the planet, they help save you money. Properly separated trash costs less to have hauled away, mixed trash costs more. Deposit regular “dry” trash in the appropriate chute marked “garbage” or “cans/plastic/glass/” or “newspaper”. Food, diapers, pet litter and other “wet” trash must be in tied, 13-gallon-or-smaller plastic bags to keep the chute clean and odor- free. Dry trash may be combined with wet trash in one tied bag. Flammable or hazardous materials, needles, lighted cigarettes or cigars, etc. may not be thrown down the chutes either individually or combined with other items.

At no time may any garbage or trash be left beside the chutes or in the hallways, stairwells or dumpsters, even when the chutes are out of service during pickup or maintenance.

b) Other trash. Deposit other trash, including anything whose size or shape might clog the chute, in the waste receptacles stationed by the pillars in the main floor parking area or in the dumpsters alongside the north wall of the main floor garage and in the south garage. They are to be used for items that have already been broken down or fit within a cube whose combined dimensions are 12 feet or less when length, height and width are totaled. Disposal of all other items, including cardboard boxes and shipping cartons, are the responsibility of the owner or resident who are expected to make their own arrangements for disposal, unless otherwise approved in writing by the Board.

6. Housekeepers and Service Personnel.

With the exception of pet sitters and nannies, when residents are not in residence, all service personnel such as housekeepers, personal assistants and the like will be restricted from entering units outside the hours of 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. In particular, access to units by service personnel during evening hours will be denied. The management office requires registration of such personnel and the front desk or security staff may require ID upon request.

7. Hurricane Season Preparation.

Residents absent at any time during hurricane season (June 1 through November 30) must prepare their unit prior to departure or designate a responsible firm or individual to care for their unit should a hurricane threaten. Such designee must be reported to and put on file with management. Prior to the owner’s departure, window screens and all items on balconies must be removed. This includes screen doors, furniture, plants, etc. Once a tropical storm warning has been issued, management may enter any unit with or without permission to ensure that proper hurricane preparations have been made. While not obligated to do so, management may remove all items from balconies where the resident has not done so, and reserves the right to charge a $300 hurricane preparation fee in each case.

8. Noise.

No resident shall make or permit any disturbing noise at any time of the day or night by themselves or their family, employees, pets, agents, visitors or lessees. No resident shall play or permit to be played any musical instrument, nor operate nor permit to be operated a stereo, television, radio or sound amplifier in his unit, terrace or on their balcony in such manner as to disturb or annoy other residents.

9. Water, Moisture Intrusion and/or Mold.

If water or moisture intrusion into a unit is evident, or there is mold or mildew present, residents are required to:
a) Provide written notice to the Association, via the management office, within 24 hours of the initial detection,

b) Accept responsibility to mitigate their damages but agree to refrain from applying any chemical agents to treat any mold or mildew discovered within the unit without the prior consent of the Association. Once the Association has been placed on notice as set forth in the preceding paragraphs, the unit owner or resident agrees to cooperate with the Association in its efforts to investigate, inspect and correct the water/moisture intrusion as well as the Association’s investigation, inspection and remediation of any mold or mold-related problems which may occur within the common elements. When bringing items into their unit, the unit owner or resident agrees to check the items for any signs of mold as there is the possibility that potted plants, furnishings, stored clothing, bedding material and household goods may already contain mold.

10. Pest Control.

In the interest of health and sanitation, living units and common areas shall be treated regularly by a professional pest control company licensed in the state of Florida. Residents shall immediately notify management upon the appearance of vermin so that additional treatment may be performed.
As noted in the Section 11.1 (1) of the Declaration, the Association has the right to have access to each unit during reasonable hours as may be necessary for pest control purposes. For medical or other reasons an owner may request in writing to the Board permission to opt out of the pest control service. Only owners, not tenants, may make such a request.

11. Safety/Other.

a) No flammable, combustible or explosive fluids, chemicals or substances shall be kept in any unit or upon the common areas.

Residents may not solicit, request or otherwise engage employees to perform errands, maintenance, repairs or personal tasks of any kind. Employees are to be treated courteously and respectfully at all times. Any complaints about employee performance should be reported to the property manager. Complaints or comments about management’s performance should be brought to the attention of the Board.

14. Residency.

No retail business may be conducted in residential units. Only the designated commercial units can be used for retail business. Visible signs may not be displayed in any residential unit.

*15. Exterior Uniformity-Windows, Building, Satellite Dishes, etc.

*a) Construction and Alterations. Construction and alterations in units may require building and/or other government issued permits, depending upon the nature and extent of such alterations.

Any and all alterations involving electrical, plumbing or other trades which may affect building safety and integrity may only be performed by professional contractors licensed to do such work in Palm Beach County. No resident shall make any alteration to the building exterior, common or limited common areas, etc. without the prior written consent of the Board. No decorating of the common or limited common areas is permitted by anyone without Board approval. The unit owner has the right, without obtaining Board approval, to make the following minor alterations to the interior of their unit, painting, hanging wall paper, installing mirrors, lighting and cabinetry , provided that the cost of the interior alterations set forth above does not exceed $5,000 in the aggregate. All other alternations must first be reviewed and approved by the Architectural Review Committee and then must receive written approval from the Board before any work may commence. It is the owner’s responsibility to provide the necessary plans, drawings and any other data required by the Architectural Review Committee or the Board to make an informed decision. Major alterations may only be performed by professional, licensed contractors. Contractors that fail to comply with the Association’s rules for performing such work in the building may be barred from further access. Contractor compliance is the responsibility of the owner.
