Termite Tenting Preparation Week
Dear Residents & Owners:
We thank everyone for their continued cooperation, and together we should all be proud of our residents and owners who have come together as a community to accomplish the tenting of Sunwood! Preparation guides will be delivered to each apartment today for your convenience in both English and Spanish.
We ask all residents to take this week to begin preparing their food, medicines, and personal items for the tenting that will begin on Monday July 17th . The tenting company will be bringing cranes and tents Monday morning and they ask all residents to vacate the property by 8:30 am on Monday. This is for everyone’s safety, as the tents are very heavy and we do not want anyone walking around or trying to exit the buildings while tents are being brought up to the roofs and down to the ground floor.
Tenting Schedule:
1) Vacate the property by 8:30 am on Monday July 17th
2) Return to your apartment after 12 noon on Thursday July 20th
Tenting tips:
1) Make sure to turn off your Air Conditioners when you leave your apartment.
2) Purchase a new air filter to bring with you as a replacement when you return.
3) No appliances, refrigerators, or electronics are required to be unplugged.
4) Follow instructions provided for bagging food, remember any food that is not sealed by the manufacturer in an air tight seal must be bagged.
5) A Miami Dade Police officer will be on site during the tenting, but please out of an abundance of caution do not leave any valuables, money, jewelry in your apartment.
6) For any questions please visit the manufacturers website Vikanefumigant.com
7) The Association will be providing any updates via the Associations website SunwoodCondominium.com
8) After the tenting is completed keys can be picked up at the maintenance office the following week. The Association will notify residents of the key pickup schedule where you will be required to sign and present identification in order to pick up your key.
Failure to vacate for the tenting will result in legal fees and the possibility of multiple law suits brought against you in a court of law. Please govern yourself accordingly.
Respectfully,
Your Board of Directors
Sunwood Condominium Association of Miami Inc.

TERMITE TENTING INFORMATION UPDATE
.jpg)
Unit Owners:
Below is a summary of our recent Board of Directors meeting and preliminary information about the upcoming termite tenting project:
1. Sunwood has a termite and beetle infestation which can ONLY be treated by tenting all 7 buildings.
2. The total cost of the project including the extra costs of hiring off duty police, removing portions of fencing and trimming of foliage close to buildings will be approximately $175,000.
3. The Association can apply $40,000 toward the total leaving a balance of $135,000.
4. There is no money reserved for the remaining $135,000 balance and, therefore, a special assessment will have be made. The total amount ($135,000) divided equally among the 105 unit owners leaves an amount of $1,285.71 which can be paid in a lump sum by owners or over a period of four months.
5. Owners will receive a special assessment meeting notice soon for a March meeting. The special assessment can either be paid in full or over 4 monthly payments (March - June). The first payment will not begin until after the March meeting. Specific payment instructions & details will be included in the upcoming notice you receive.
6. The tenting will require vacating all units for approximately three days. Residents will be required to vacate units on the scheduled starting date which will be a Monday and able to return on that same Thursday. Due to the size of the project a weekend schedule cannot be possible.
The goal is for the tenting to be in June or July. We will keep you informed of project details, and instructions as they become available. Be on alert for emails and notices about scheduled meetings over next few months.
Those of you who are renting your units, please keep your tenants informed and updated.
Thank you,
Your Board of Directors & Management
