A. Each unit owner is required to provide keys to the
Board to permit access to the limited common entry door, garage entry
door and unit entry door in order to protect property only in case of emergency
and to facilitate required inspections and maintenance of the fire
protection system and to permit access to the fire protection system
controls.
B. All keys obtained by the Board will be maintained
in a security box under the control of the President of the Association
or his/her designee (e.g., Property Manager or other director of
Association). The Board will not accept responsibility for providing
keys for lockouts. It shall be the sole responsibility of the
individual resident to make arrangements to provide a spare key to a
friend or neighbor whom they may rely upon to help in the event of a
lockout.
C. The Board will make reasonable efforts to notify
all unit owners in advance of the necessity to gain access to units so
they may be present. However, if access is required due to an emergency,
the Board will leave a notice indicating the time and date of entry and
the reason.
D. During the period from November 15 to March 31 it
will be considered reasonable for the Board to enter unoccupied units to
determine that such units have their heat set at the minimum required
and for the Board to adjust such temperature settings to maintain the
minimum required.
E. If any key or keys are entrusted by a unit owner
or by any member of his/her family or by his/her agent, servant,
employees, licensee or visitor to an individual employed by the
Association other than the Property Manager (Note: Board members are not
employees of the Association), whether for such unit owner's unit or an
automobile, trunk or other item of personal property, the deliverance of
the key shall be at the sole risk of such unit owner, and the Board
shall not (except as provided elsewhere in the By-laws) be liable for
injury, loss or damage of any nature whatsoever, directly or indirectly
resulting therefrom or connected therewith.
