Move–In and Move-Out Procedures for New Residents
Moving is a chore that no one enjoys, but it’s an every day event here at High View! We have put together a list of our Rules and Requirements, in an effort to avoid misunderstandings and problems along the way. We are eager to welcome our new residents, but remind you that we feel it is important to limit the disruption to our other residents as much as possible; please observe the following:
1. All moves, especially those requiring the use of the elevator, must be scheduled Monday-Friday between the hours of 8:00AM and 4:00PM through the management office. We will “lock-out” the elevator in mail room one (Elevator I) or two (Elevator G} for your move, but they must be restored to general use by 4:00 p.m.
· All scheduled moves into the midrise building must be accomplished utilizing Elevator I or Elevator G as these elevators have been designated for freight purposes. All over elevators are off limits.
· Our elevators are sophisticated machinery; computer controlled – propping open doors or otherwise “rigging” them will damage expensive circuit boards, and the responsible party will be charged with the cost
· Large moves are scheduled in morning and afternoon blocks. The morning block is between the hours of 8:00 – 12:00 p.m. The afternoon block from 12:00 – 4:00 pm. Please notify the site office on which moving block you wish to reserve.
MOVING:
A. In the Mid-Rise Building, the moving of furniture, bulky packages and freight shall be accomplished Monday through Friday (non-holidays) between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. and an Owner shall only utilize the elevator after notification to the Site Manager (for the purpose of installing appropriate protective padding in the elevator cab) of the move. Saturday and holiday moves may be possible, with the approval of the Site Manager, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. for a $250 charge. In the Mid-Rise, similar Saturday arrangements for smaller furniture deliveries may be made for a $50 charge.
B. Townhouse moves are not restricted as to time or day of the week. However, trucks may not restrict reasonable access to driveways and garages and drivers must be available to move vehicles at all times if there are temporary blockages of access. This provision is not intended to imply any exemption from any other provision of the moving rules e.g. necessity to register, make a deposit, etc. In addition, other rules regarding noise and interference with other owners’ rights to quiet enjoyment may be applicable to moving activities.
C. Any moving or storage containers that become detached from the transporting vehicle (e.g. PODS) are not permitted. Any unauthorized containers deposited on the property will be charged a $250 daily rental fee for occupying a parking space.
D. For the Mid-Rise and the Townhouses, notice of moving in or out of the complex must be given to the Site Manager at least 72 hours prior to the moving date, and a security deposit of $250 must be provided by the Owner/Resident to the Site Manager prior to the move. Owners/Residents engaging in a self-move, or using a moving company that cannot provide an insurance certification, will be required to post a $500 security deposit with the Site Manager prior to the move. The deposit will be returned unless damages are noted during a post-move inspection of the route used. The cost of repairing any damage to the grounds or facility during the move will be charged to the Owner. There will be a $250 charge to the unit owner if a move occurs without prior arrangements being made with the Site Manager.
E. The Site Manager must conduct a walk-through with the Owner or tenant showing the approved route for the movers both within the building and/or on the property. After the move, the Manager shall inspect the route within four (4) hours in the Mid-Rise and as soon as possible after a Townhouse move to ascertain the condition of the building and grounds.
F. Owners/Residents engaged in a self-move, or not using a moving company that can provide an insurance certification, must register all the individuals involved in the move with the Receptionist.
G. If the elevator is locked-out as a consequence of an Owner or tenant not notifying the Site Manager of the completion of the move, there is an automatic forfeiture of the deposit.
H. There will be an overtime fee of $25 for the first hour, $50 for the second hour, and $75 for each additional hour thereafter, if staff is required to remain on site after 4:00 PM in order to conduct a post-move inspection.
2. ASK YOUR MOVERS TO:
· Schedule so that your move will be completed by 4:00 p.m.
· Inform the front desk of their arrival at High View so that we may direct them to the proper door and lock out the elevator. We DO NOT give out elevator keys.
· Inform us when they are finished so that the elevator may be restored to general use.
· Park their van in a manner that will not block the roadway, handicap spaces or garage entrances/exits.
· DO NOT LEAVE DOORS PROPPED OPEN UNATTENDED-
THIS IS A SECURED ACCESS BUILDING!
3. Unpacking generally creates a huge amount of waste products- cardboard boxes and packing paper and materials. It is important that you are aware of our trash disposal procedures to avoid jamming the trash chutes and damaging the compactors:
· There is a cardboard/paper recycling container at the exit/entrance of garage one and garage two. Boxes must be broken down and placed in the opening on the container.
· Packing papers should be folded flatly as possible to conserve space, before placing in the recycling container.
· Bags placed in the trash chutes in any of the trash rooms on floors 1-5 must be in sealed (tied) bags. Please be sure that they freely slide down – do not try to force over-sized bags into the chute – this will result in jams which cause the compactor to run continuously, burning out the motor!
· DO NOT LEAVE BOXES OR BAGS IN THE TRASH ROOMS, OR ON THE PARKING LOT GROUND AROUND THE DUMPSTERS…YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR REMOVAL! THERE WILL BE A $35 CLEAN UP FEE FOR TRASH LEFT IN THE FLOORS OF THE CHUTE ROOMS.

DOGS- PETS:
Pets shall not be kept within or around any Unit without the Owner having first completed the attached agreement and registration form, titled Exhibit A: High View at Hunt Valley Condominium, Inc. Rules – Pet Agreement and Registration Form. All Owners and residents shall sign the Pet Registration and Agreement before bringing a pet onto the premises. Failure (or refusal) to do so may result in the Board to levy fines and/or a demand to remove the pet from the premises. The provisions of Exhibit A are incorporated in the Rules
Pets must be on a leash and accompanied by the Owner at all times when outside of a Unit. Each Owner is responsible for immediately cleaning up after his or her pet and properly disposing of any and all animal waste. Pets are not allowed to enter the Fitness Center, the Clubhouse Great Room, the Conference Room, the Cyber-Café, the Library, the Media Center, the Board Room, the Card Room, the Tennis Courts, the Swimming Pool area, or the interior midrise courtyards. Pets may be exercised in the exterior midrise courtyards but may not be allowed to urinate on shrubbery and trees and must be kept 10 feet away from the perimeter of the buildings.
Pet owners must take reasonable steps to control the actual and potential behavior of animals so that others do not feel intimidated, threatened, or are touched without their consent.
Properly controlled pets may be walked on a leash or carried through the Lobby area but only for transit or brief stops to retrieve packages, messages etc. Pets or owners of pets shall be free from harassment by other residents when limiting the exercise and behavior of pets within the Rules.
Exemption from the provision restricting access to common element areas may be requested for a service animal needed for assistance to the resident whom it accompanies. Reasonable certification that the animal has been appropriately trained and is needed by the resident shall be provided to the Board before any exemption is granted. Such residents must comply with all other PET Rules including controlling the behavior of service animals to allow other residents reasonable opportunity to use the common element areas without being touched by or exposed to pets.
