Maintenance – In addition to the interior of units and garages, unit owners are responsible for maintaining all porches, decks, stoops, lighting fixtures, railings and driveways. These Limited Common Elements must be kept clean of debris, dirt and snow accumulations. The Association will remove snow from driveways when accumulation exceeds two inches. Unit owners must keep their decks free and clean of all snow build-up as it will melt onto the driveway below and become ice.
Ice Melt and Sand – Each building’s gas meter utility room is supplied with calcium chloride (ice melt) for unit owner’s use if required for ice removal from driveways and front stoops. Sand is also available in the gas meter rooms of Buildings 5, 8, 13 and 16. Please fill a container with ice melt and sand and store them in your garage so that you are prepared when you need them.
Pets – Only one dog or cat is permitted within each unit. All dogs must be leashed and walked on the street. No pet is permitted to roam the property nor be left outside unattended. All owners must pick up after their pets and dispose of the litter within their garbage pails. The City of Clifton has a Pet Cleanup Ordinance No. 203-11 that carries a large penalty for violators.
Barbecue Grills – In accordance with State Fire Code Restrictions, no propane gas grills of any kind are permitted to be used or stored within the complex. Charcoal and electric grills are allowed, but they may not be used or stored on balconies or decks. Grills must be at least ten feet from the building when in use.
Additions/Alterations – No structural additions or alterations within a unit or any additions/alterations on the exterior of any building or unit is permitted without the prior written approval of the Association’s Board of Trustees. Storm/screen doors, windows and sliders are allowed, but only specific types and models are permitted. Please contact the managing agent for additional information.
Satellite Dishes – The installation of a satellite dish antenna is allowed according to specific association guidelines. If you are interested in having one installed, please contact the managing agent and request a copy of Resolution 01-01. For more information, please read the Satellite Dish Rules and Regulations.
Fire Alarms – Fire Alarms were installed on each building during the summer of 2003. They are intended to alert all homeowners of a possible fire, and should not be ignored. If you hear a fire alarm at any point, day or night, please call 911 to alert the fire department. If the alarm in your building goes off, please evacuate the building and alert the neighbors in your building. Please do not ignore these alarms. They could save your life or the life of your neighbors!
Carbon Monoxide Detectors – In addition to smoke detectors, every unit at Mews at Allwood is required to have carbon monoxide (CO) detectors installed as per manufacturer’s instructions, within ten (10) feet of all sleeping areas. New Jersey Law requires CO detectors in all residential units that use gas or oil, or have an attached garage. If you haven’t already done so, please install this life saving device in your unit at your earliest convenience. If you have any questions regarding CO detectors, please contact the Clifton Fire Department at (973) 470-5801.
Real Estate Signs – Real estate signs are prohibited at the Mews at Allwood and also on City of Clifton property. In the past, many agencies have placed signs on city property at the end of Mayer Drive and Lou Wong Drive. This is not allowed and signs will be removed by Clifton police if placed at these locations. If you list your unit for sale with an agency, please make them aware of this restriction. The restriction also applies to any unit that is for sale by owner.
