GYM USE:  We continue to operate our on-site gym on a dual platform of having both "Reservations Only" and "Open Hours" timeslots to accommodate the different needs of residents.  During "Reservations Only" times, only ONE person may use the gym at any one time on based on signing up for the reserved timeslot on our website.  This rule is strictly enforced.  Please do not ask someone who signed up to use the gym if it's OK to use it while they are in the gym.  They may be too polite to say "no."  If these rules are not followed, we will need to turn off gym access to those residents who violate this rule.

Residents MUST sign up to use the gym by adding their name onto this Google Form: GYM  RESERVATION  FORM

​

Residents using the gym must wipe down all used equipment BEFORE & AFTER each use.

Please use extra care during quiet hours (11 pm - 7 am).  During these hours, residents may work out in a quiet manner (treadmill, stationary bike, free weights, yoga, etc.) but must refrain from listening to music, talking on the phone, or dropping free weights or weight stack bars.  Should we receive noise complaints, we will need to revoke the temporary quiet hours use.

- burnt-out lightbulbs,

 ARCHIVED, PAST NOTICES:

 CURRENT, ACTIVE MATTERS:

PEST CONTROL: Foster Tower's new pest control contractor -- Able Pest Management -- will be at Foster Tower on Tuesday, October 1 between noon-2 p.m.  If you would like to hire them to treat your apartment, you may sign up for this service here:  PEST CONTROL SIGN-UP FORM.   The contractor charges $25, tax included. 

You must sign up for this individual service by EOB September 30, as we need to hand over the list to the vendor Tuesday morning.  Payment must be labeled and given directly to the technician or our guards (in a labeled envelope) before service is rendered.  Payment options are exact cash or check written out to Able Pest Management.

EXTERIOR WINDOW CAULKING & WASHING: Foster Tower's contractor will be at Foster Tower between July 24-26 (weather permitting) to wash the exterior windows. Some homeowners reported leaking windows or window A/Cs during heavy rains.  Our window cleaner contractor agreed to offer the service of caulking gaps in the window caulking or A/C housing from the outside.  If you noticed that your A/C unit or window needs to be caulked, you may sign up for this service here:  WINDOW WASHING OR A/C SLEEVE CAULKING FORM. The contractor charges $95, tax included. 

During this visit, only EXTERIOR windows will be washed.  If you would like to hire the contractor to clean your interior windows, please use the same sign-up sheet to sign up for the additional work:  WINDOW WASHING OR A/C SLEEVE CAULKING FORM.  The interior window cleaning is per quote, so please sign up before July 24 so the contractor can take a look at your interior windows to be able to give you a quote before doing the work on Friday.  The contractor will take care of the exterior cleaning on July 24-25, and the interior window cleaning and window A/C caulking on July 26, weather permitting.​​

REGISTRATION: Foster Tower's House Rules require all owners, tenants and guests staying for more than 72 hours to submit a completed Resident Registration Form to Security.  This rule has always been a Foster Tower House Rule.  During the coronavirus epidemic, it is even more important to know who is staying in the building at all times.  Please ensure that everyone fills out the form and submits it to security.  You can download the form by clicking on this link : RESIDENT REGISTRATION  FORM 

BICYCLE  REGISTRATION:  The Bike Room’s exterior has been repaired on the top level of the garage and the room is now ready for interior work.  In order to clean the floor, paint the interior walls, and construct new bike racks, we need all the bikes removed from the Bike Room by May 22.  It will take our staff 3 weeks to renovate the interiors of the room.

For the duration of the interior renovations, owners need to lock up their bikes in their parking stalls.  If you do not plan on using your bike during these times at all, you may take your bike up to your apartment for safekeeping, but after taking the bike up, you would not be able to continue using the elevators with the bike until returning it to the reopened Bike Room, as bicycles are not allowed in the elevators for safety reasons. Bike registrations will begin as soon as the room is completed.  The 2024 Bike Room storage fees were set at $50 for the calendar year of 2024 (June-December 2024).
