Building Security

Last week some door-to-door sales people were working their way through the building. When approached they were asked to leave. Their intentions appeared to honest; however, it raises the issue of building access.

Our building is a private building, no one except for owners, tenants, and guests have any reason to wander in the common areas. Since the building is open to the public for real estate sales, the open door may invite some less than innocent browsing.


Some personal safety tips.

1. If you don't know that person on the other side of the peep hole, don't feel obliged to open your door.
2. Always use your deadbolt lock. The knob lock can be jimmied.


3. Install a door latch to prevent someone entering if you need to open the door to receive papers or talk. The latch will also stop entry by someone with a master key while you're inside your condo.


4. Have you cell phone nearby. Use it to confirm the identity of a vendor by calling the business that they represent. Have the phone number of a neighbor and the Cambridge Police in you cell phone. Cambridge Police: (410) 228-3333.


5. If you see someone in the building, politely inform them that our building is private property and solicitation is not permitted.

Pool Club House- Off Season Utilization

Master Board Meeting News.

In winter, the club house is used for storage of pool-side furniture and equipment. Given that we need common areas available for meetings, opening this area for off-season use would provide a remedy.

Shirley Moore is leading a committee to explore the options. In particular making the life guard room available. She will need volunteer committee members to research alternative storage locations, costs, and other possibilities.

Please contact Shirley Moore if you are available, or email

900 Marshy Cove

To: All Owners at 900 Marshy Cove
From: George Breig, resident at 900MC.

Welcome to our (unofficial) blog site.

The intent of this blog site is communication. Since many of the owners are part time residents, keeping up to date with the workings of the Condo Association and other activities has been difficult. I really don't know how well this will work, but, better to try. Perhaps, a formal and official web site might be next.

Here's the way it will work.
Messages of common interest can be sent to email address:
MarshyCove900blog@comcast.net
I will copy and paste relevant messages for all to see.

Also, you may add comments to any posted message

Pass the word. George
