| Can I remodel my unit?
| Yes, you own it, so you can remodel it. However, you must check with the GHOA office first, they need to know
what is going on, they often have very useful, even crucial, suggestions for you,
they may require you to know the building codes, there may be restrictions, etc.
Note:If you are hiring contractors, schedule all work through the office, and note that it must
be scheduled during weekdays and during the day, so as to minimize noise for your many neighbors.
|
| What do we get for our homeowner's dues?
| There are four main areas where your money goes: (1) Security, (2) Maintenence & Repairs, (3) Amenities, (4) Management
24-hour security is funded by your
dues -- in most years there is not even a single burglary of anyone's home or a single mugging at our 487 unit complex.
The dues cover all needed maintenence and repairs of all buildings and common areas.
Gateview owners have never had to pay a special assessment for repairs, an all too common event at
many other homeowner-owned complexes. The building is getting older, and this is a growing proportion
of the monthly dues.
The plaza, tennis courts, pool, gym, sauna, hot tub, table tennis room, package reception, recycling,
window washing, landscaping, the walkway in the back, cheap and convenient laundry rooms, and more,
are all funded by your dues.
With 487 units and approximately 1500 residents, full time professionals are needed to coordinate the
care of the complex, serve the homeowners, handle questions, etc. Your dues take care of this expense,
also.
Cable TV and water are included in the dues.
