CV Handbook: North Tower CityView I
Welcome to the CityView South Condominium Association
The management and staff of CityView South welcome you to our private condominium community. This handbook should help make your move into the property as smooth as possible. The handbook is not all-inclusive. Other topics may be addressed in your condominium documents.
Your Community Manager and the unit owners who serve you on the Board of Directors want you to be active in the CityVew South Condominium Association—attending association meetings, joining a committee or becoming a board member.
Each resident is entitled to use and enjoy his/her condominium home in a peaceful and private environment. To ensure each resident the right to quiet enjoyment, community policies are in place to define acceptable activities and behavior. The policies in this handbook supplement the governance documents of the Association and are not meant to infringe on the rights of any one resident, but rather to protect the rights of all the residents and the community as a whole. Residents and their families, guests, invitees, or other persons associated with residents (herein referred to as Resident’s Group) are subject to these policies; those who do not comply with the community policies will be notified, in writing, of the noncompliance or violation(s). Noncompliance with or violation(s) of the community policies by any resident or Resident’s Group will be grounds for fines established by the Condominium Association’s Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors reserves the right to amend, alter or supplement the Community Policy Handbook and its policies subject to providing residents with thirty-day advance notice of any change.

MOVE-IN PROCEDURES
Your CityView II Condominium Address is:
2001 Hamilton Street, Unit #____, Philadelphia, PA 19130
a. Moving arrangements and an arranged time slot must be scheduled in advance with (and only with) the Community Manager, with notification to the front desk.
Moving into or moving out of the condominium must be accomplished between the hours of 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. (5 p.m. on Saturdays) to minimize disturbance of residents.
Move-in on Sundays or national holidays is not permitted.
A move-in fee of $150 payable to the Association will be due upon move-in.
Parking in the driveway is very limited at all times due to fire department restrictions. The front desk must be notified if residents desire to have vehicles remain in designated parking areas. Vehicles are not permitted on the lawns, walkways, or similar access areas.
Before your actual move in, please be sure to arrange the following:
Telephone: To schedule for telephone service, please contact the telephone company of your choice to provide local and long distance service. Residents may choose any provider they like, but because Verizon owns the phone lines in our building, it is generally easier to use Verizon to set up a line and phone number when residents move into CityView South. Residents then may switch to another phone company if they wish.
Television/Internet Service: CityView uses Direct TV cable service only. No other cable TV provider can be used at this time. To schedule your television reception service, contact Direct TV representatives at Sollnet (215-587-9455). Verizon offers DSL Internet service; Sollnet provides cable Internet service.
Electric Service: It is not necessary to contact PECO for electric service. Your bill from Wentworth Property Management for your monthly condo dues also will include a separate line item indicating what you owe for your use of electricity. Our sub-metering contractor—MSI—also sends residents a monthly statement on electrical use, but residents should NOT make payments directly to MSI. Your MSI and Wentworth statements on electric use may differ because Wentworth’s bill reflects charges listed by MSI one month earlier and may include other charges. The MSI statement is for your information, but you must pay the amount shown on the Wentworth statement.

Flammable Materials: Storage of flammable fluids/liquids or explosive materials within the building or anywhere on the grounds of the condominium complex is strictly prohibited.

Insurance: Every unit owner is required to carry homeowners insurance and submit a copy of the policy to the Community Manager prior to settlement. All renters are required to have and maintain renters insurance. Prior to moving into the building, renters are required to deliver to management a copy of such insurance. Because this important policy helps assure the safety and stability of our community, any owner failing to supply proof of insurance is subject to fines.

Names of those living in your unit

The back-up name and number of a friend or relative
The names and descriptions of pets in your unit should we have to enter in the case of an emergency.

Disposal of Personal Property: Residents are responsible for removing and properly disposing of all unwanted household items or personal property. If Management must remove any unwanted household items or personal property, the cost of such removal will be charged to the resident.

CONDUCT OF EACH RESIDENT AND RESIDENT’S GROUP
Quiet Enjoyment: Residents are requested to control the volume of stereos, TVs and musical devices within their homes so that they do not disturb other residents’ right of quiet enjoyment. Noisy or disorderly conduct annoying or disturbing other residents will not be permitted.
Residents violating this policy will be subject to fines.
Unacceptable Conduct: Residents and their families, guests, or other persons associated with any resident will not engage in conduct that is illegal or prejudicial to the rights, privileges, safety and general welfare of the other residents or anyone living or working in the community. Any act that threatens, intimidates, harasses or physically harms another resident or community guest, or creates a public nuisance is forbidden. Residents aware of such conduct should notify the front desk. Incidents of unacceptable conduct will be considered violations of community policy and be subject to a fine established by the condominium association’s Board of Directors.
Visitor Announcements: All visitors, including delivery personnel, family and friends, must seek permission to enter our building. They may use either the call box at the entrance or check in at the front desk. Under no circumstances may a visitor gain access to the elevators without such permission.

PARKING
Assigned Parking: Residents are permitted to use only their own parking space or a space authorized explicitly by the owner of the space and the Community Manager. Residents will be supplied with a permit to be attached to the rear-view mirror of their vehicle(s). Each resident must supply the Management office with current vehicle information, including tag number, make and model. All residents using the garage must property display a CityView parking permit behind their vehicles’ rear-view mirror. Failure to display this permit could inadvertently lead to your car being towed. If this should happen as a result of the permit not having been properly displayed, related expenses and fines will be the responsibility of the vehicle owner. Residents should promptly report to the Community Manager any vehicles inappropriately parked or other objects improperly left in a resident’s assigned space. Residents have no authority on their own to call a towing service or to cause another resident’s, occupant’s, or guest’s vehicle to be removed from or towed from a resident’s assigned space.

| PAYMENT PROCEDURES FOR MONTHLY ASSESSMENTS
Shortly before the end of every month, every owner will receive a monthly bill from Wentworth Property Management. This bill will ordinarily include the condominium dues for the month about to begin, as identified on the statement, and the electric bill for the previous one-month period identified on the bill. The utility bill is delayed getting to residents because our management company assesses the charges and then handles billing and collection. This may require new and departing residents to monitor their utility bills to make sure charges are assessed in the correct amount and for the correct period and to the appropriate resident.
All payments are due the first day of every month. A late penalty will be assessed if bill payments are not received by the 15th day of the month due. This penalty will be the greater of $10 or 10% of the delinquent balance for each month a resident remains delinquent. Following payment instructions on each bill, residents can pay electronically or by check. Some banks may restrict automatic bill-paying service because fluctuating utility use (and charges) means the bill total will not be the same every month.
