					  <description><![CDATA[When you&rsquo;re decorating your home, there are two things you want to bear in mind if you
&nbsp;have children. You want to keep the design functional, but safe. After all,
&nbsp;anyone who&rsquo;s ever had, or just looked after, a baby or toddler, can tell you that little
&nbsp;kids have an uncanny knack for finding things and getting into places they
&nbsp;shouldn&rsquo;t. It&rsquo;s a parent&rsquo;s and caretaker&rsquo;s responsibility to keep an eye on your child, but it helps to have your home as
&nbsp;safe as possible in each and every room.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;Birds in flight may be beautiful, but their departure sometimes leaves the nest
&nbsp;unprotected. And when that nest is in a condominium community, property
&nbsp;managers and boards must do their best to compensate.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;Owners of condominiums and cooperatives in urban areas of New Jersey like
&nbsp;Hoboken or Jersey City with parking garages in or adjacent to their building
&nbsp;are blessed in so many ways. The ability to drive right up to your front door
&nbsp;provides a level of satisfaction almost beyond words.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;The responsibilities of property managers include a wide array of tasks, from
&nbsp;the physical to the administrative. While many of these jobs involve concrete
&nbsp;things&mdash;like sending out monthly bills, filing paperwork, or going to meetings&mdash;equally important is managing the people involved with the building. That
&nbsp;includes everyone from the building&rsquo;s staff, to the residents to those on the board and committees.

					  <title><![CDATA[Q&amp;A: Board Rule Changer]]></title>
					  <link>http://njcooperator.com/articles/718/1/QampA-Board-Rule-Changer/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;I am on our condo board. We have a problem with a previous condo board member
&nbsp;who maintains that any rules (not bylaw changes) must be enforced by subsequent
&nbsp;boards and can never be adjusted or changed. When she left the board the last
&nbsp;time, without any notice or discussion, she put through a bunch of onerous
&nbsp;rules just before leaving and now demands that future boards enforce all of
&nbsp;them. My question is: Is it true that New Jersey laws require current condo
&nbsp;boards to enforce rules and regulations (not made part of a condominium&rsquo;s bylaws) set by a previous board, and at the same time prohibit future condo
&nbsp;boards from ever modifying or reversing such rules?

					  <link>http://njcooperator.com/articles/717/1/QampA-Delinquent-Dues-Member/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[Our condo association, which is private, has a situation that seems to be going
&nbsp;nowhere. One of the units in the association has been for sale for over 2 years
&nbsp;and the owner has not paid their HOA dues in 3 plus years. We as the board
&nbsp;filed a lien on the unit, prior to the unit going on the market and one after
&nbsp;the unit went up for sale. The owner has had all HOA privileges taken away
&nbsp;(access to the pool, clubhouse) but we still have one lingering issue and that
&nbsp;is parking on the street by family members. We can tell them not to park on the
&nbsp;street but we are not sure how to enforce this. Can this be enforced? Also it
&nbsp;seems the unit may stay on the market for some time. We have a lawyer dealing
&nbsp;with the liens but we are wondering as an association board, is there anything
&nbsp;else we can do besides wait?

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;The harshness of winter can be challenging for all of us, but for cold-blooded
&nbsp;insects, it's downright brutal. Yet every spring when temperatures rise,
&nbsp;insects are once again crawling and buzzing around as though winter never
&nbsp;happened. How do they do it?

					  <link>http://njcooperator.com/articles/715/1/Keeping-In-Touch/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;As recently as five years ago, traditional phone logs and Rolodexes were a
&nbsp;common part of a property manager's daily communications arsenal. Yet, with
&nbsp;recent advances in property management software, such anachronistic methods are
&nbsp;largely a thing of the past. Today&rsquo;s tech-savvy manager can handle large volumes of communication, track and
&nbsp;prioritize messages, schedule maintenance, and interact with vendors via modern
&nbsp;web-based applications. Some of these applications can even serve as one-stop
&nbsp;solutions for every aspect of condo communication.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;Most buildings have emergency preparedness plans in case of fires, floods, or
&nbsp;hurricanes. But there&rsquo;s one form of crisis that very few have an organized response for: the public
&nbsp;relations disaster. It could come in the form of a scandal, criminal
&nbsp;indictment, or even (especially these days) a nasty bedbug infestation.
&nbsp;Managers and board members not only have to handle the crisis itself, whatever
&nbsp;it may be, but they must also address the aftermath and communicate with
&nbsp;residents and sometimes the press about the situation. And that's something
&nbsp;that takes poise and forethought to handle correctly and with minimal drama.
