Pets
No animals or fowl shall be raised, kept or permitted within
the Condominium, except domestic dogs, cats, or other household pets,
not to exceed 50 pounds in weight. (Bylaws 7.15)
Any
unattended pet found in a common area may be removed to a pound or animal
shelter by calling the appropriate authorities. (Bylaws 7.15)
When
in common areas, all pets shall be leashed and attended at all times.Each
person bringing or keeping a pet in the building shall be liable to
the other Owners, their family members, guests, or Tenants for any damage
to persons or property caused by the pet. Owners must be able to keep
their pets from jumping up on other people while in the common areas
of the building.
Pet owners are urged to take their animals away
from the building and the trees in the sidewalk surrounding
the building to relieve themselves. The care of the trees around
the building is the responsibility of the condominium Association; we
must maintain them and, per city ordinance, the Association must replace
them if they die. Owners are reminded that Portland has a "poop
scoop" law
and that all waste should be removed.
- The
fifth floor balcony is not a pet walking area and pets should
not be taken there to relieve themselves.
- No pets shall be
permitted to run at large or be kept, bred or raised for commercial
purposes or in unreasonable numbers (as determined by the board)
per Primary Unit.
« Reptiles (turtles, iguanas, etc.) and rodents
(mice, gerbils, hamsters, etc.) must be kept in an appropriate
cage or pen at all times and shall not be allowed to run loose
within a Primary Unit.
- Any inconvenience, damage or unpleasantness caused
by pets shall be the responsibility of the Unit Owner(s).
The cost of cleaning and deodorizing any common area
due to a pet's accident is the pet owner's obligation. The
pet owner is expected to handle removal of the original accident
immediately. In the event a pet soils a common area and the
owner does not clean up after the pet without delay, such an
occurrence will be treated as a nuisance and the Owner may
be subject to a fine. (Pet owners have immediate responsibility
for their pets, but Unit Owners may be held accountable for
tenants who do not control or clean up after their pets.)
- It is not acceptable for a pet to soil the common areas,
or bark excessively either in the Unit or in the common areas,
or threaten other people in the building in any way. At the
discretion of the Board, persistent offenses that result
in complaints from neighbors are subject to fines and/or
a request for the removal of the pet from the building.
- An owner may be required to permanently remove a pet from
the condominium after receipt of two notices in writing from
the Board of Directors of violations of any Rule, Regulation
or restriction governing pets within the Condominium.
