All Unit Owners and Residents shall refer to the Master Deed and Trust Documents for further explanation concerning the duties and authorities of the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) and the descriptions of the Harborside Condominium, its Units, Common Areas and Facilities, and the authorized “uses” and “restrictions” of same.
A2. In reference to the Master Deed (paragraph 13.A., Units Subject to Master Deed, Unit Deed, Condominium Trust, Etc), the acceptance of a deed or the entering into the occupancy of any Harborside Condominium Unit constitutes an agreement with the provisions of the Master Deed, the Trust, and the By-Laws and Rules and Regulations, and any violation of same shall justify legal action to be taken by the Trustees.
Use of Resident Units, Common Areas and Facilities

No electrical device(s) that could cause electrical overloading is permitted. All Units shall comply with the Town of Marblehead Health and Safety Codes.
B2. Nothing shall be done or kept in any Unit or in any Common Areas and Facilities, which would increase the rate of insurance of the Condominium (buildings and contents within), without prior written approval of the Trustees. No Unit Owner or Resident shall permit anything to be done, or kept in his or her Unit or in any Common Areas and Facilities which would cause the cancellation of insurance coverage or increase insurance premiums of the Condominium, or which would be in violation of the law.

B5. No alterations of the wooden rail caps on the stainless steel rails may be made without express written authorization of the Board of Trustees, including, but not limited to flag poles, painting, staining, oiling, etc. Any unauthorized alteration of a wooden rail cap may result in a fine and replacement of the wooden rail cap at the expense of the owner who altered it without written permission.
B6. The Master Deed states that all decks, patios and lawn areas are Common Areas (Master Deed, paragraph 4.H., Description of the Common Areas and Facilities). As such, these decks, patios and adjacent lawn areas are “limited Common Areas.” Units that have direct access through an existing doorway to any deck, porch, patio, steps or platform have an easement for the exclusive use of such deck, porch, steps or platform, subject to the right of other Unit Owners to make emergency use thereof.
B7. Deck, patio and lawn furniture and accessories shall be conventional in design and in color. Marine-type storage boxes (also neutral in color) may be used to store miscellaneous deck items.

B12. No accumulation of garbage, refuse, rubbish, debris, or unsightly material shall be permitted in Common Areas and Facilities. All garbage, refuse and trash shall be placed in trash bags and placed in designated trash containers within the designated Trash Disposal Room.

The disposal of large articles is the responsibility of the Residents and shall not be left in the Trash Room or elsewhere in the Common Areas and Facilities. No noxious or offensively odorous articles may be placed in the trash room. The Trustees may further direct that all such trash be separated and placed in specific containers for the purpose of recycling.

Plants or decorative art may be hung from the interior of windows or placed on interior windowsills, however any such decorative art must be in keeping with the general, conservative appearance of Harborside. Unit Owners and Residents are encouraged to seek the opinion of the Trustees before installing any window decoration.
B16.

B18. Nothing shall be done in any Unit or Common Area and Facility that would impair or change the structural integrity of any building. All plans for major repair, addition, alteration, or improvement of any Unit affecting any Common Area or Facility, must be approved in writing by the Trustees before any such modifications are initiated. All such repairs, additions, alterations, and improvements must be done by licensed and insured contractors. If requested by the Trustees or Management, Certificates of Liability Insurance naming Harborside Condominium Trust as additionally insured must be obtained from the licensed contractor(s).
B19. In the course of a Trustee approved remodeling project, should a structural defect within a common area part of the building be found, that would otherwise not be uncovered but for the remodeling project, the Trust may bear responsibility for its remediation. However, any structural integrity modifications necessary for modification elements related to the remodeling project alone, including but not limited to beams and joists, windows, doors, etc. to accommodate such remodeling, whether or not it benefits more than just the remodeling unit owner, shall be the sole responsibility of the unit owner making such remodeling modifications. Trustees may ask for a structural engineering report from the requesting homeowner before making any final determination whether to permit the alteration. Any such structural integrity modification must be approved in writing by the Trustees before the modification is made.
B20. Any modifications to the Common Area which are for the exclusive use of the unit owner requesting the modification or for the improvement of their individual unit shall be the sole responsibility of the owner of that unit with regard to maintenance (excluding painting) and upgrades to those improvements. This responsibility attaches to the unit and whoever owns the unit at the time such maintenance or improvements are required, not necessarily the original requestor of the common area modification. Such exclusive use modifications include, but are not limited to, air-conditioning units and their covers, bump-out seating and their rails, vestibules, custom entryways or stairways, etc.
B21. Contractors may begin to set up construction equipment at 7 am, but actual construction may not start until 8 am without written consent of the Trustees. No construction is permitted on Sundays without written consent of the Trustees.
B22. Changes shall not be made in any Common Area landscaping without the prior written approval of the Trustees.
B23. The Laundry Room, as part of the Common Areas and Facilities, is available to all Harborside Residents. While the washers and dryers may be maintained by an outside vendor and the Laundry Room shall be periodically cleaned by the Harborside Condominium Management Company, all Residents shall be responsible to maintain its cleanliness and good repair.
B24. For the purpose of effecting repairs or to maintain Common Areas and Facilities, the Trustees or their agents (including the Condominium Management Company), and any contractor authorized by the Trustees may enter any Unit or Common Area and Facility after written notification (either through registered mail, hand delivery, or email) to the Unit Owner or Resident and oral and/or written (letter or email) confirmation of the same. No notification is required in cases of emergency.
B25. No smoking shall be permitted in any Common Areas and/or Facilities. Owners, residents, guests and workers must make all reasonable efforts to ensure that smoking within units does not interfere with the enjoyment and health of other Owners and Residents to the use of their units and/or Exclusive Use Common Areas. Owners are responsible for informing their guest and workers of this policy.
B26. No modifications, alterations or embellishments are permitted to the self closing fire rated unit doors that face interior common area corridors without prior express written consent of the Trustees.
Air Conditioning Policy
C1. All Harborside Unit Owners must obtain written approval from the Trustees before proceeding with air conditioner installation. Submission of work to be done must include the following: (1) Manufacturer’s specification sheet including dimensions, noise level data, etc; (2) Photographs, drawings or sketches of any exterior elements in their proposed location; (3) Detailed descriptions of any work in common areas, including decks, walls, ceilings, roofs, plumbing, wiring, drainage, crawl space, utility rooms, etc; and (4) Description of any activity that may affect another Unit Owner such as wire conduit, refrigerant and condensate tubing, drain plumbing, duct work, etc. All such installations must conform to all Marblehead Town covenants, Harborside Condominium By-Laws, and not intrude in any appreciable way on the existing visual or audible landscape of Harborside.
C2. Units having forced hot water ductless heating systems shall need to use ductless air conditioning systems. Systems such as the Sanyo model 18FH22W, 16,000 BTU/H are recommended for their very low noise operation (55 db at the condenser unit), or approved equal.
C3. Units heated by forced hot air ducts may use their existing ducts by having evaporator coils installed in their furnace ductwork. However, it shall be necessary to insulate the ducts to eliminate condensation and potential water damage to adjacent walls and ceilings. The cost will be borne by the Unit Owner.
C4. Placement of air conditioning condensers may vary, depending on the layout and Common Area access of the Units. Following are general guidelines for potential condenser placement: (1) Condenser units cannot be located where they can be seen from a public access way, such as Lee Street or Gregory Street unless properly shrouded, nor may they be placed on roofs; (2) Window units are not allowed unless approved in writing by the Trustees. Window units are not permitted in any location unless they are shrouded by an architectural enclosure so as to not be seen by other Residents; (3) Condensers may, if approved, be located on decks provided they do not block fire escape access, comply with all fire protection regulations, and do not create adverse visual or audible impact to neighboring Units; (4) Condensers units proposed for installation on decks or common areas must not exceed the standard of 55 dBA at 1 meter, and (5) Condensers may, if approved, be placed in Common Areas, if they are shrouded in an architecturally acceptable enclosure as determined by the Trustees. All such placements must be approved in writing by the Trustees after consultation with Unit Owners who abut the Common Areas in question.
C5. Proper licenses and bonding are required for all project workers. If requested by the Trustees or Management, Certificates of Liability Insurance naming Harborside Condominium Trust as additionally insured must be obtained from the licensed contractor(s).
C6. Refer to the Harborside website www.harborsidecondos.info for further Air Conditioning Policy guidelines.
Actions of Unit Owners and Residents
D1. No Unit Owner or Resident, nor their family members, guests, employees, agents, and their pets, shall make or permit any noxious, offensive or dangerous activities, or any disturbing noises, in the Units or Common Areas and Facilities which could cause damage or would interfere with the rights of peaceful enjoyment, and comfort or convenience of any other Unit Owner or Resident.

D4. The Trustees may determine that certain appliances and features of Harborside Units pose a safety threat to all of Harborside Owners and Residents if not inspected regularly, maintained properly or replaced when needed. The Trustees may set up a regular inspection schedule for such appliances and features which Unit Owners must comply with and provide proof of maintenance and/or inspection. Such appliances and features include, but are not limited to, fireplaces (wood burning, gas or other fuel), clothes dryers, furnaces, boilers, etc.

Any payment made by the Trust for inspection, maintenance and/or replacement of an appliance or feature and any fine levied for non-compliance will be treated in the same manner as late payments of association dues; late charges and interest will apply.
D5. The Trustees, when made aware of certain condition(s) within a unit or units, may determine that condition may pose a safety threat to some or all of Harborside Owners and Residents if not inspected and/or corrected in a timely manner.

Such possible conditions may include, but are not limited to, electrical, plumbing, venting, smoke and/or carbon monoxide detector issues, etc.
Failure to perform the required inspection and/or correction and provide proof of such by the deadline set by the Trustees, without prior Trustee approval, may result in the Trustees having the inspection and/or recommended remediation completed at the Unit Owner’s expense and a fine of $250 per occurance. Any payment made by the Trust for inspection, and/or remediation of the condition(s) and any fine levied for non-compliance will be treated in the same manner as late payments of association dues; late charges and interest will apply.

D11. Nothing shall be altered in, constructed in, or removed from the Common Areas and Facilities, nor shall any part thereof be decorated or furnished, except upon prior written approval of the Trustees.
E. Motor Vehicles
E1. All vehicles belonging to Unit Owners or Residents, or those belonging to their guests or their occasional employees (including cleaners, repairmen, and delivery persons) shall be parked in a manner so as to not impede access to or from the driveways, garages, carports, and the designated parking areas of the Harborside Residents. Additionally, all vehicles must be parked within the designated parking place “lines” and comply with the “compacts only” signs.
E2. Residents are authorized one or two parking spaces as specified in the Unit Owner’s deed.
E3. Visitors should plan to park elsewhere unless they shall be here for only a short period of time (less than three hours, except for one hour in the summer season). If a visitor will be here longer, their vehicle must have a “visitor sign” with the Resident’s Unit Number printed on it displayed on the front dash, and the Resident must park his or her vehicle elsewhere (i.e., the combination of the Resident’s and the visitor’s parking cannot exceed the authorized parking spaces for that Unit). It is permissible to ask another Unit Owner or Resident who is not using their parking space if that space may be used for a guest. If that request is approved, the “visitor sign” must reflect the requesting Owner/Resident’s Unit Number as above and the granting Owner/Resident Unit Number in parenthesis, e.g., D-4 / (D-6).
E4. All Residents must “register” (i.e., notify and list) their vehicles with the Harborside Condominium Management Company. Residents must provide the vehicles make, model, color and license plate number.
E5. The parking area shall be used only for the parking of approved private passenger motor vehicles displaying current license plates, inspection stickers and being maintained in proper operating condition so as not to be a hazard or nuisance by noise, exhaust emissions or appearances.
E6. An approved vehicle shall be any conventional passenger vehicle, including; (whether bearing commercial plates or not) sport utility vehicles, passenger vans, mini-vans, and private pick-up trucks, motorcycles or any such vehicle that the Trustees may determine through Rule, for the personal use of the Unit Owner or Resident entitled to use said Parking Space and their immediate family. Prohibited from parking in the parking areas are all other vehicles including but not limited to; trucks 1 ton or larger, equipment burdened pick-up trucks and vans (excepting passenger vans with luggage racks), vehicles bearing advertising or signage, recreational vehicles, mobile homes, trailers (whether capable of independent operations or attached to an automobile or other vehicle), boats, watercraft of any kind, vehicles too large to fit into the marked boundaries of a single parking space, and any unregistered vehicle, except with the written consent of the Trustees and for the parking from time to time of commercial vehicles providing services at Harborside Condominium.
E7. Vehicles must be able to be moved for snow removal purposes. If any Unit Resident vehicle owner shall be absent from his or her Unit for more than a 24 hour period during the months of November through March, he or she must have the ability to have their vehicle moved if necessary for snow removal. In preparation for an expected snow storm, vehicles will be parked in the lower lot, up against the B or C Buildings or along the seawall starting from the north. The goal is to not have any vehicles in the upper lot or in the path of the plow to the south end of the seawall. After the plowing and shoveling, vehicles may be parked in the upper lot, but pulled as far forward as possible against the C Building and in as close as possible along the south side of the upper driveway. Do not block the garages or carports. A “no parking” cone may be placed in the “Compact Car Only” spot next to the entry way to the C Building, as it’s very difficult to get vehicles out of the carport if a snow bank forms.
E8. Owners and Residents who are away for an extended period of time must park their cars along the south side of C Building in the lower lot to help facilitate plowing and snow deposits but must not park in the spaces directly in front of C2, and the gate located at the sea wall end of the fence for C1 and C2.
E9. No mechanical vehicle maintenance (e.g., oil changes) is permitted in the Common Area parking lots nor carports and garages.
E10. The Trustees may levy fines of $25.00 per incident, per day for violations of parking rules, and may, if necessary, resort to having violators’ vehicles towed at the owner’s expense.
F. Docks
F1. The Harborside Docks (North and South Floats) are part of the Common Area and Facilities. They are administered by the Harborside Dock Committee (HDC), composed of three Resident Owners, one of whom is a Trustee. The HDC is responsible to the Trustees for the management, operations and maintenance of the docks, gangways, and auxiliary services (such as water and lighting for the docks), management of the dock facilities to include reservations and rental of dock tie-up spaces, financial management of the fees paid by both Unit Owners (an annual allocation from the Common Element Fees) and the additional fees paid by Resident boat owners who reserve spaces for seasonal tie-ups, and for administration of safety procedures to include maintenance of gates to the gangways, posting of safety-related signs, and maintaining safety equipment on the docks (such as safety rings).
The current Harborside Docks Rules and Regulations are published on the Harborside website www.harborsidecondos.info.
(The addition of the language and the elimination of Sections F2-F10 were made and approved unanimously by the Board of Trustees during a regular Board meeting on April 22, 2015.)
G. Pets
G1. In accordance with the Master Deed (paragraph 9. (g), Restrictions on Use), no dogs, cats, or other animals, birds or pets of any kind shall be raised, bred, kept or permitted in any Unit or Common Area or Facilities without the written consent of the Trustees.
G2. Neither pet dogs nor cats are permitted to be in any Common Areas or Facilities without being attended by their owner (on a leash), unless they are contained within an Exclusive Use Common Area.

G7. Visitors who bring their pets onto Harborside property shall abide by all the Rules and Regulations pertaining to pets. Unit Owners shall be responsible for the actions of the pets of their tenants, guests and agents.
H. Delinquent Fees and Assessments
H1. Any fee or assessment payment not received within 14 days after the due date (being the first of the month) shall be termed delinquent. At the time a fee becomes delinquent (on the 14th day of the month, as set forth in Article VII of the By-Laws), a late charge of $25.00 shall be added to the Unit Owner’s account and recorded for the subsequent statement. Interest in the amount of one and one-half percent per month (1 ½ %) shall be charged to all outstanding past due balances.
H2. Payments received from a Unit Owner shall be applied in the following order of priority: (1) Late Fees; (2) Interest; (3) Special Assessments; (4) Collection and Enforcement Costs; and (5) Common fees.

I3. The lease must require that the tenant read and comply with the Harborside Condominium Rules and Regulations. Failure to comply with all rules and regulations shall be grounds for default under the lease.

I4. A copy of all leases shall be provided to the Harborside Management company within 30 days of the signing of the lease. Leases on file with the Management Company shall only be used for compliance purposes. Unit Owners and their Tenants may remove any references to the amount of rent paid and any highly personal information (e.g. driver’s license numbers, social security numbers, etc) prior to providing the lease agreement to the Management Company. Contact information (name of tenant(s), phone number(s), email address(es) for the Tenant(s) must be provided to the Management Company within 30 days of the lease signing.
Insurance
J1. As stated in the Rules and Regulations pertaining to the Use of Resident Units and Common Areas and Facilities, above, nothing shall be done or kept in any Unit or in any Common Areas and Facilities, which would increase the rate of insurance of the Condominium Property (buildings and contents within), without prior written approval of the Trustees.
