At the request of several residents, the Board would like to remind pet owners in the building to please observe House Rules about  pet hair-free washing machines and dryers .  If you have a pet, please do not use the pet hair-free machines to do your laundry . These machines are set aside for residents who are sensitive or allergic to pet hair and dander, or who otherwise appreciate not having pet hair in their laundry.  The below recently-taken pictures of pet hair in the pet hair-free machines illustrate the extent of issue. As a courtesy to your fellow neighbors, please abide by the rules and make an effort to clean the machines after use-- especially if you do have pets. Your neighbors thank you!

On Tuesday, January 28, 2014, the New Plaza Condominium Association held its annual owner’s meeting .  The Board set an aggressive budget in 2013 and took on several capital improvement projects.  The Board accomplished a lot last year , such as replacing the front door, creating a more attractive and comfortable front yard, and securing Thos. D. Walsh, Inc. (“TDW”) as the new property management company; all while staying under budget.  TDW has proved a beneficial property management choice.  Keith Carr, Blake Barber, and their staff have helped the Board accomplish its capital improvement and building maintenance goals by using their wealth of industry knowledge to negotiate and secure cost-effective options for vendors. Communication between the Board, Association members, and our property management has also improved substantially under TDW. The Board anticipates another year of ambitious capital improvement and building maintenance projects.  Adam Beebe presented the
