Running a Water-tight Ship
When condo-dwellers think “catastrophe,” it’s usually something dramatic, like a fire or huge storm laying waste to their
HOA. There’s another, far more insidious enemy of urban and suburban condo buildings,

How this is done can be key to starting off a new community with a well informed, prepared board of directors and happy residents. Read More

Having a semi-private place where people can swim or relax on a deck in the sun—without the hassle of actually maintaining the pool—is a big draw for condo owners and co-op shareholders. Read More

There are a few important things boards and managers should know about the process of a complete window replacement project for their building, be it a high-rise, a townhome, or a more spread-out condominium association.

Green Exteriors
More often than not, when boards or associations broach the issue of their

spring to mind. The impression seems to be that in a condo, green upgrades are
difficult and costly—if not impossible—to do.
