The notice below is a general letter to all residents of a condominium complex that explains how the condo rules and regulations were formulated in the first place and how they are monitored and enforced on an ongoing basis. With new owners and tenants continually moving in/out of a condominium building, the new residents are often not aware of what the rules are, or what is expected of them. In this particular case, once this notice was posted prominently on a permanent basis in a common area of the building, infractions of the rules and regulations decreased noticeably.

These “fire emergency orders” for a condominium building were developed and issued to be followed by all responding condo board members whenever a fire alarm sounds in the building. These specific fire orders were drafted because when fire alarms sounded in this particular building, no one on the condo board was clear about what they should do, or what their responsibilities actually were in the case of a fire emergency.
