Property Tax
Some owners have been seeing a balance on their
property tax advice prior to 2017-2018. These
payments were done by the Strata, however because
their system have changed, they are still updating
the records.
The Tax Administration has advised us that for the
payments to be applied owners will have to clear the
outstanding tax for the years 2017-2018, 2018-
2019, 2019-2020.
If you have already made your payment and is still
seeing a balance you are asked to provide proof of
payment to the Strata office and we will take it from
there.
Kitchen Sink
Owners are reminded that they are not to
pour Grease or coffee grains in the sink. In
recent weeks we had to be cleaning kitchen
drains of grease.
Note that the drains are shared, and it does
not affect only one person and the cost to
clear it is expensive. Whenever grease/oil is
poured in the sink it causes a buildup in the
drain and it becomes hard as a stone.
Owners are advised to ensure that there is a
basket in the kitchen sink to prevent coffee
grains and other items to escape in the
drains.
This is all grease which was recently removed
from a drain.

planning to have a party and the required fees must be

Common area lights- out

Dear Residents,

There will be no outside lighting in the common area tonight, due to an electrical fault caused from the power surge from JPS last evening and this morning. The damage is extensive and our in house electrician has been contacted and he is working assiduously to have the fault corrected.

We are not sure of the time factor of restoring the light for tonight and asked that you exercise caution in the common areas / walk ways and stair cases.

The guards have been asked to be more vigilant and extra patrolling will be done.

We thank you for your patience and understanding in this situation and an update will be provided in the morning.

Regards

Claudette
