Trash Removal/Recycling

A trash chute is available on every floor. Designated recycling bins can be found in the main trash/recycle room near the West entrance of the building.

Storage Area

Each unit owner is provided an assigned storage bin. Storage areas are located in a secured area adjacent to the lobby.

Pets

AKW offers designated pet areas. Pets must be kept on a close leash, held by the pet owner, or confined to a pet carrier at all times while in the common areas. This includes hallways, elevators, lobby, and driveways, parking areas, garages and all other grounds not part of the dog exercise area.

 

US Mail, UPS, FedEx & Overnight Express Services

The office can accept delivery packages on behalf of the resident (pending completion of the Package Acceptance section of the Resident Registration Form). The office has no jurisdiction over when the US Mail, UPS or any other parcel services arrive. The freight elevator may be reserved for large deliveries if necessary.

Handyman Services

It is the owner’s responsibility to perform all maintenance within the unit and to pay all costs incurred for such maintenance. An owner may perform the work personally or contract with a private repair service. All work must be done by a licensed contractor and in-unit modifications or contracted changes must comply with all permitting and codes. AKW offers handyman services through on-site maintenance staff.

Heating/AC Units

Maintaining the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) units is the owner’s responsibility.

 

AKW offers a twice-a-year HVAC service that includes vacuuming the unit, replacing the filter, oiling the motor, adding an anti-mold tablet in the spring, and checking the valves and condensation line.  (For residents with some HVAC models, residents may purchase their filters through the office at cost.)

Security

AKW contracts with an outside security firm for guard services.  Those guards man the security desk and roam the property.
