Aquarius Maintenance: Why is it the lowest of our neighbors? August 2016.Call it HOA quotas, or maintenance contribution, or regular assessment cal it by any name but it seems that Aquarius Condominium Association has the lowest maintenance fees of our ocean front neighborhood.
How can this be explained? It is possible that with a budget without any slack regular preventive maintenance is postponed sine die. This means that small problem may turn in big problems and the consequences very expensive to correct.
In 2015 we had two surveys on the maintenance quotas charged in the buildings next to Aquarius. It was August and April of 2015. In both probes Aquarius asks for the lowest maintenance of any of the neighbors.
Again in 2016 Aquarius requires the smallest payment as computed by the ratio dollar chaged by square foot. This ratio is traditionally used to determine the maintenance quotas in most buildings. This ratio is also used at Aquarius. Larger units pay more.
Is this good? It would be better to maintain the building in top shape avoiding problems. What do you think?
These are cents of the 
dollar charged per square foot of the units.

The law mandate 40 Year Re-Certification exercise Aquarius needs to comply will require an extensive rebuild of compromised areas in the East Pool Deck. This offers an excellent opportunity to redefine this community common space.
The East Pool Deck is the most used common area of Aquarius. It is a place for relaxation, socialization and plain enjoyment of our ocean front property. Linda Satz with the help of Bill Coleman organized a couple of expeditions to neighboring properties to collect ideas for our required refurbishing of the East Pool Deck. Groups of Aquarius Community Members visited Residences, Trump and The Wave. It was possible in these visits to appreciate the distinct styles of their swimming pool decks.
In this post we present a bird’s-eye view of several nearby ocean front condominiums. What is the one that you like best?

Don’t be left out! Register your fob and your car in the new system!What do you need to complete the registration process?
What happens after August 1st? Registration will continue but unregistered cars and fobs will not have access until registration process is completed. It is better to do it sooner than later.
Why are we doing this? Several reasons
So this new system will probably offer: simplification of administrative processes of the building, easier security management, new practical features. Are there inconveniences? Of course, but the advantages certainly have greater weight than the minor burdens.
