There is one rule that covers all aspects of condominium living - BE CONSIDERATE
OF YOUR NEIGHBORS AT ALL TIMES. If this rule was strictly observed, there would
be no need for any others. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. This may be
due in part to the fact that residents are not always aware that they are disturbing
others. It is in this spirit that these rules are published.

unit exterior doors, replacement windows or sliding doors, washers and dryers,
furnace replacements, and satellite dish receivers. If available, copies of
brochures, contractor’s proposal, city permit, sketches, diagrams, etc. should be
included to facilitate the review process. Any damages caused to property as a
result of modifications will be the homeowner’s responsibility. The Homeowner is
responsible for obtaining any city permits, if required.
3. The Board of Directors reserves the right to revoke any prior written approval.
4. Construction must conform to the City of Foster City’s Noise Ordinance:
“Permitting the operation of any tools, or equipment used in construction, repair,

eight p.m. on weekdays and before nine a.m. or after eight p.m. on weekends and
legal holidays, in a residential district or within one hundred yards of a residential

sources exceeds one hundred DBA at the producer's property plane unless prior city
