LONG-TERM MAINTENANCE
Certain infrastructure items inside the individual units are critical to the maintenance and safety of the entire Treetop Property. Since these items are inside the individual unit, the Unit Owner is responsible for their maintenance.
Please note: Each Unit is different, and if a Unit Owner feels that it is necessary, they are encouraged to perform extra maintenance and/or replacement in addition to the requirements listed below.
Pressure valves were installed in individual units as part of the water system upgrade in 2016. These valves have an expected life of 10 years.
Therefore, Unit Owners should plan to have them replaced in 2026.
Reliable Property Management will notify Unit Owners when these are due and how proof of compliance is recorded.
Fireplaces are also the responsibility of the Unit Owner. Inspection and Proof of Maintenance is required every three years per the following schedule: 2017 2020 2023 2026 2029 2031 etc.
Reliable Property Management will notify Unit Owners when these are due and how proof of compliance is recorded.
Dryer ducts are also the responsibility of the Unit Owner. Proof of cleaning and maintenance is required every three years per the following schedule: 2019 2021 2024 2027 2030 2033 etc.
Reliable Property Management will notify Unit Owners when these are due and how proof of compliance is recorded.
Long-term Maintenance of Common Elements** is the responsibility of the Treetop Park Condominium Association:
Painting and maintaining the unit exteriors, roofs, decks, trees, roads, etc. are items handled by the Association. The management company and the Board of Trustees work together to plan for long-term maintenance of the Common Elements. Part of the monthly condo fee goes into a reserve account to finance these projects. For example: Roofs are replaced approximately every 20 years, decks every 10 to 15 years. These long-term plans are reviewed and updated as needed.
Please note: Due to Town of Westborough requirements, the 4 water meters in certain buildings are located in one of the units. That Unit Owner may be called upon to provide access to the other units' meters in cases of emergency or necessary repairs.
*Individual Unit: Exclusive use by the Unit Owner, generally thought of as being from “studs in”, although the Unit Owner has an easement of the exterior in the immediate area around the unit (deck, driveway, etc.)
**Common Elements: Used and governed in common by the Treetop Park Condominium Association* (building, exterior, roads, land, etc.)
