After twelve years, it is time to check a few things.

Unit Inspection Program
Is my water heater Ok?

Should my expansion tank be replaced?

Are there leaks around my windows?

Are there any potential fire hazards in my unit?




These are just a few questions that will be answered after a unit inspection.  The purpose of the inspection is to let owners know what to repair, replace, or maintain to avoid costly incidents in the future.

The inspection will be offered at no cost to unit owners.  Twenty minutes is all that it will take to complete critical observations. Each unit owner will receive a private report with recommendations.

We plan to deliver the program in mid-June.  Letters will be mailed to owners explaining the program. Residents need not be present, but, are encouraged to participate.

The timeline and details will be forwarded in a few weeks.

We just ran a pilot with three units and have discovered a few unexpected problems.

New Parking Policy brings relief to Residents at Deep Harbour

To all Owners and Tenants at Deep Harbour,
~~
Note: This policy only applies to the property within the jurisdiction of the Master Association. Sub-associations have their own parking restrictions.
~~
As most residents know, the Deep Harbour Master governing documents restrict certain vehicles from parking on the property. This includes Recreational Vehicles, Trailers, boats and boat trailers, commercial vehicles with logos, commercial sized trucks, moving vans, pods, and trailers.

Previous to this newly adopted policy, residents had few options to safely and securely park their non-conforming vehicles.

Parking outside our fence line exposes vehicles to a higher degree of risk. The exception policy was developed to minimize risk to the resident’s vehicular property.

In the best interest of the residents at Deep Harbour, the DHMA Board has adopted a TEMPORARY PARKING PERMIT POLICY. The policy would permit otherwise non-conforming vehicles to park inside the Deep Harbour fence line on a limited basis.

The policy is documented in
Resolution 2018-2: Temporary Parking Policy; Parking Permits

Contact Sentry Management or a member of your board of directors for more information.  > Sentry contacts  
The Policy can be uploaded from > link to Parking Policy documents

Regards,

Deep Harbour Master Association Board of Directors

Attention: GATE CODE CHANGE! May, 2019

To all Deep Harbour Unit Owners

In the past year, the DHMA Board has initiated a more robust security and safety program.  Completing the fence line, limiting non-resident pedestrian access, and vehicular traffic has all been a first step in the process.  More projects are in the planning stage. We will need to balance cost with effectiveness when deciding on our next steps.

Included in an upcoming mailing is a notice regarding gate code changes, remote openers, and new pedestrian gate locks.  If you are a landlord, please convey this information to your tenants. The DHMA does not communicate with tenants directly.
Please note that as the gate code is abused more commonly, we plan to change the code more frequently.  In other words, get a remote opener.  Residents should not be using the code to enter.  They are available from Sentry at our cost of $27.00.

Also, encourage visitors to use the call box. Is your listing current?

Best Regards,
Deep Harbour Master Association Board of Directors
George Breig- President 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Notice to all Deep Harbour Unit Owners:
·       Gate code change
·       Remote transmitters aka clickers
·       New keypad locks on pedestrian gates
Gate code change
From time to time, the universal gate code is changed. Over a period of months, trespassing increases as the code ages.  To deter trespassing, the code will be changed more frequently in the future. As of May 1, a new code will be in force. The old code will be disabled on June 1, 2019.
NEW CODE …# NNNN (will be mailed to owners)
Passing this code to non-residents breaches the security of our community. Do not give it to outsiders like pizza delivery drivers.
Visitors should use the call box to enter. Each resident’s name is stored in the call box with an associated speed number.  Give your visitors and delivery drivers the speed number, not the general access code.
Not in the call box?   Call Sentry at 410-221-0398 ext 57100
Remote transmitters
Each resident should have a remote transmitter also known as a clicker. A clicker makes life easy. Code changes do not affect clickers. Entry is easy and safe when raining, snowing, and in the dark. These are available at the Sentry Office for $27.00
New Key Locks on Pedestrian Gates 

Pedestrian gates are now equipped with keypad locks.  The entry code will be  N-N-N-N (mailed to all owners) which will be effective on May 15.
