Parkview Commons Parking — Parking at Parkview Commons Condo Association, Berea, Ohio

Parking at Parkview Commons Condominiums requires a numbered yellow resident sticker placed on the rear window by the custodian. Parking is limited to residents, and others are subject to towing. Space is limited. The lot does not actually provide enough space to give each unit a parking space; therefore multiple vehicle stickers allowing parking of more than 1 car cannot be issued for the same unit.

Where To Park

Larger vehicles should be parked at the back of the lot. Vehicles parked must be current on registration and in reasonable condition. Handicapped parking spaces are limited to residents with handicapped space permits. Term is ‘high profile vehicle’ and it includes trucks, vans, or boxy autos. All interfere view for backing out of space, thus requiring parking in the back row. Oversize trucks, logo vehicles, or snow plows, trailers, etc are not permitted as well.

Request and Installation of Parking Sticker

Parking tags are issued by the Custodian and placed by her on the outside driver side of vehicle; they are never handed out. A current Resident Information Form must accompany the request as it states the vehicle info.

Be Careful What You Flush

Don’t Flush Your Money Down The Toilet: How To Avoid Major Plumbing Problems.

From The December 2018 Newsletter

The 115 Building experienced a serious plumbing backup recently, and unfortunately, it was due to items being flushed down toilets and sinks that our 1964 plumbing cannot handle. These items include but are not limited to tampons, sanitary napkins, babyƒpersonalƒ antibacterial wipes, disposable diapers, paper towels, tissue other than toilet tissue, and food waste. Even if a product is marked “flushable,” it is not.

Owners and residents should discard these items ONLY in trash. If a plumbing backup is associated with a specific unit and a plumber is called by management, the owner will be billed. And, everyone shares costs in maintenance fees and inconvenience for building-wide plumbing repairs.

Recycling At Parkview Commons

From The December 2018 Newsletter

Recycling is coming to Parkview in January on a trial basis! With 94 units, we have the opportunity to make a significant positive impact on the environment by recycling all accepted materials, versus throwing them in the trash.

Beginning in January, recycling bins will be placed in the trash receptacle building and signs will be posted to indicate where recyclables can be placed. Republic, the trash collector for the City of Berea, has agreed to provide pickup. To have a successful recycling program, it’s important to know that Republic only accepts specific items for recycling. If unwanted items or trash are accidentally included, the entire recycling collection goes to the landfill. Guidelines will be available to residents, but are summarized here.

First, do not bag your recyclables. Bags get caught in machinery at the recycling plant. Cans, cartons, glass bottles and jars, and plastic bottles and jugs are accepted. These should be emptied, rinsed, and placed when dry with caps replaced. Caps are too small to be recycled on their own, but can be recycled on the bottle or carton they came from. Only plastics where the opening or neck is narrower than the body are accepted. (“Clamshell” plastic boxes from the salad bar or microwave meal con− tainers can’t be accepted.) Paper and boxes should be flattened to save space. We hope you’ll help save the planet by recycling successfully! Thanks for your participation!

Inspections Parkview Commons Condos Berea, Ohio

Parkview Commons Association performs (minimally) annual inspections of all units for smoke detector function, plumbing leaks, and pests. Additional inspections are performed if circumstances require them.

While it is ideal that unit owners or their tenants be physically present to admit management and/or contractors for inspection, management recognizes that this may not be possible in every instance. Accordingly, if an announced inspection is performed and the unit owner or tenant is not physically present to open the unit, a fee will be assessed to the unit owner to cover custodial time required to enter the unit. The fee will be $25 per occurrence.
