WELCOME

THE
ASHBY D FAMILY

Welcome to Ashby D. We are delighted that you have decided to
become a member of our family. As you may know, each building in
Century Village East has its own Condo Association, elects its own
members to the Board of Directors, and is responsible for its own services
such as landscaping, building repairs, laundry facilities, etc. We believe that
Ashby D is one of the best buildings in CVE, and we continue to strive to
make it the very best! We can do that, but only with your cooperation and
your assistance. Remember: you are an OWNER, not a tenant!
The Board of Directors, consisting of a President and six additional
members, are all owners of units in the building. Since the Board shares all
of the concerns and needs of the building’s residents, its mission is to serve
those needs and concerns in the most efficient manner possible, while
ensuring that each dollar expended in pursuit of that mission is spent wisely
and economically.
There are several committees, appointed by the president of the
Condo Association; these committees may consist of both Board members
and non-Board members. Elections of officers and Board Members are
held annually; there is an Annual Installation Dinner, which is open to all
Ashby D residents.
Perhaps, after you’ve settled into life at Ashby D, you will decide that
you would like to have a say in how the affairs of the building are
conducted. Please feel free to attend the monthly Board meeting, as a nonvoting guest, and to volunteer your services for a committee or special
project.
Again on behalf of the Board of Directors and of your fellow-owners,
welcome to Ashby D family. We look forward to getting to know you.
The Ashby D Board of Directors
Joe Sachs, President

AGE RESTRICTIONS
Century Village East is a adult retirement community. Permanent
occupancy or residence in a unit of any person under the age of 18 is
prohibited.
However, unit owners are permitted to have a person, under the age
of 18, as a guest for reasonable periods of time. Such periods should not
exceed a total of 30 days for the year.
ASSESSMENTS
As the owner of a Unit in Century Village, you will be required to pay three
monthly assessments: CVMM: (Century Village Mast Management): $70.00
CENDEER: $86 and Century Services: $ 46 for a total of $202.00 for a 2
bedroom unit and a little less for a one bedroom. If you choose, your bank
will be able to make those payments for you, so that you will not have to
write and deliver checks. These assessments cover the use of all the
facilities, the recreation areas and pools, the Trolleys and the Clubhouse.
An annual assessment will be due to the Ashby D Condominium
Association. This assessment is based on the projected budget for the
coming year. The assessment will be recommended by the Board of
Directors, and approved by the General Membership at the Annual
Meeting. Unit owners will then be billed for payment.
Unit owners are also assessed for their proportional share of the Ashby D
liability Insurance Policy. Each Unit Owner is required by Florida law to
have his own/fire/theft/liability insurance.
The Board of Directors has the authority to levy additional assessments, if
necessary. The Board of Directors is required by Florida law to maintain
reserves to cover major expenses. Money is put away each year so that
the it will be available when the expense is incurred.

The following excerpts have been taken from : DECLARATION OF
CONDOMINIUM P. 51
6. Default in payment of any assessment due to the Association within ten
(10) days from the date due shall entitle the association to levy a
reasonable late charge against the defaulting Unit Owner of up to $25.
7. Lien – The association is also empowered to place a lien on the
apartment of the Unit Owner who is in default in the payment of any
assessment. The defaulting Unit Owner shall be liable for all costs of
collecting the same, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs.
The Board of Directors strongly recommends that you make arrangements
with your bank to have direct payments for all your needs concerning CVE.
Ashby D is a smoke free building
On February 2007, Board of Directors Monthly meeting it was voted
unanimously that there will not be any smoking on the catwalks, laundry
rooms or any other common elements.
AUTOMOBILE REGULATIONS
Parking Spaces
Each unit is assigned one parking place. Each parking space is designated
by the bumper of the unit, which is painted on the car blocks at the back of
each space. You may have noticed that in some areas the numbers run
consecutively, but that in others there seems to be no rhyme or reason as
to how the spaces have been designated. When Ashby D was first built, all
areas had consecutive numbers. However over the years, one or another
unit owner applied to the Board to ‘’change’’ spaces for medical reasons.
The Board may use its discretion in granting those requests.
Your parking space is for your use only. If anyone parks there without
your permission, that person is in violation of the rules. If you
authorized someone else to use your parking space for an extended
period of time, you must notify the Board of Directors of that
authorization, in writing.
There are also several spaces in which the car block has been painted
yellow, with the word ‘’Guest’’ painted where the number would otherwise
be located. These spaces are to be used by your guests: relatives,
contractors etc.

ID DECALS AND BAR CODES
Car-owning Unit Owners must provide the Management Office with
information about each car owned. Go to the ID Office in the Club House
to do this. When the owner is issued his/her permanent CVE identification,
he/she will also, be given: a) an ID decal which is placed on the front
windshield, just under the rear view mirror and b) a bar code to be placed
on the passenger side rear window of the car. These decals and Bar Codes
allow the driver to enter the village through any of the gates without having
to show his/her ID card. Cost Free.
NO PARKING AREAS
No parking areas mean just that - NO PARKING. These areas must remain
empty so that in case of emergency, vehicles such as ambulances, fire
engines, etc. may have easy access to and from the building. However,
the No Parking areas may be used for loading and unloading vehicles. The
unloaded vehicles should then be moved to an appropriate space (reserved
or guest).
PROHIBITIONS
1) Automobile on blocks with or without tire are not permitted to remain
in the parking area.
2) Major repairs on the parking areas surface are prohibited. Washing
cars and using hook up a hose from waste bins in building areas is a
no no.
BICYCLES
Bicycles must be parked either in your assigned area (in front of your car)
or in the Bike Room located on the same floor as your unit. In the Bike
Room an identification tag must be placed on the item. The tag should
include your name and unit number.
BUSES AND TROLLEYS
Century Village has its own trolley system, the Lolly Trolley. These trolleys
travel all around the Village, making it easy to get from one place to
another without driving. Use of the trolleys is free. The Trolley which
services Ashby D is the #4. The trolleys leave the clubhouse area on their
7/28/2016
5
routes, roughly on the hour and the half hour. However there is no service
between 12:00 and 1:00 PM. There is a bench at the entrance to the Ashby
D parking area, which is designated trolley stop. For a complete trolley
schedule, see the CVE Reporter, a monthly paper put out by Century
Management and delivered next to the mailboxes.
Next to the Clubhouse, there is a parking area for buses. Municipal buses
provide transportation to shopping centers, supermarkets, malls and many
other places. That bus schedule is also printed in the Reporter. There is a
nominal charge for use of the buses.
CATWALKS
Owners have voted unanimously to make Ashby D a non-smoking building.
They will be no smoking on catwalks or other common areas such as the
laundry rooms. Smoking in your units will be your choice. All Catwalks
must remain completely unencumbered. Chairs, plants and all other items
may not be kept on the catwalks, nor is anything allowed to be hung from,
or placed on the balustrades. Nothing which might impede walking on the
catwalk, or which might present an obstacle to people using
walkers/wheelchairs is permitted. There are no exceptions.
DAMAGE TO COMMON AREAS
The Unit Owner is responsible for any damage done to the catwalk and/or
the elevator by movers, repair people, deliveries etc. New owners are
required to leave a deposit of $200 with the Board of Directors, before
moving into the building. The new Unit Owner is required to instruct the
movers to use rubber-wheeled dollies, rather than metal wheels to prevent
damage to catwalk finish. In case of damage, the $200 deposit will be
applied toward the cost of repairs, with the balance, if any returned to the
new owner. If the damage exceeds $200, the unit owner will be responsible
for the difference. The entire deposit will be returned if there is no damage.
Similarly, an owner planning major renovations or repairs will be asked to
give a security deposit of $300 to the Board of Directors. The owner is also
instructed to inform their contractor that they will be responsible for any
damage done to the common areas of the catwalk and the elevator. Waste
debris has to be removed by contractors and not dumped into our
7/28/2016
6
dumpster. Return of the deposit will be on the same terms as for the new
owner move in deposit.
GARBAGE, TRASH AND RECYCLING
Garbage
Garbage should be put into plastic bags, along with other food preparation
items (foils, cling wrap, paper towels, etc.) and other normal household
trash. The plastic bags should be secured and thrown down the garbage
chutes, which are opposite the laundry rooms.
BE SURE THAT THE BAG TO BE SENT DOWN THE CHUTE IS SMALL
ENOUGH TO PASS THROUGH THE CHUTE INTO THE TRASH
CONTAINER BELOW, DO NOT TRY TO FORCE A TOO-LARGE BAG
DOWN THE CHUTE AS IT MAY BLOCK THE ENTIRE CHUTE,
REQUIRING SOMEONE TO REMOVE THE BLOCKAGE
TRASH
Cartons: If you have a new appliance delivered and installed, and the
appliance comes in a large cardboard carton, it is the responsibility of the
appliance dealer to remove the carton from CVED. If the driver does not
take the box with him, you must cut the carton apart, into pieces small
enough to be placed in the recycling container. The pieces must be flat.
The same procedure for disposing of cardboard cartons must be used for
cartons of all sizes
RECYCLABLES
There are four recycling bins at the east end of the parking area. (close to
the pool). The largest one is for newspapers and cardboards. The others
are for cans and plastics. Please follow the directions on each bin to make
sure that our recyclables are going into the proper container. BE SURE TO
SHUT THE COVERS OR DOORS OF THE RECYCLING CONTAINERS
AFTER PUTTING YOUR RECYCLABLE INTO THEM.
Unwanted Furniture, Kitchen Appliances, etc.
7/28/2016
7
Unwanted items, such as furniture, appliances, exercise equipment, old
carpeting, etc. may NOT TO BE PLACED NEXT TO THE RECYCLABALE
BINS. THEY ARE NOT RECYCLABLES! If you are replacing an old
kitchen appliance, having new carpeting installed, having new flooring
installed, etc., you should arrange to have the dealer take the old appliance
away when delivering the new, and the installers remove old materials,
packaging, etc. when the job is completed. If you have a piece of furniture
or appliance that you don’t want, and if you believe that it has no use to
anyone else, you may dispose of it as follows: Call the city of Deerfield
Beach/Trash Collection Department 954-480-4379 tell them what you have.
They will tell you when they will pick it up. Make sure you get a confirmation
number. IT IS THEN YOUR REPONSIBILITY TO SEE THAT IT IS
PLACED OUTSIDE, IN FRONT OF THE DOOR TO THE TRASH
CONTAINER. IT SHOULD BE PLACED THERE ON THE EVENING
BEFORE THE SCHEDULED PICK-UP. There is no charge for the pick-up.
If you have something that you no longer use or want, but that is in good
enough condition for someone else to use, there are many local charities
that will arrange to pick up the item from your home.
GUEST PASSES
Guest passes, for individuals who will be staying with the Unit Owner for
short periods of time (up to 30 days) can be purchased at the ID office in
the Clubhouse. The guest must accompany the Unit Owner to the office to
secure the pass.
Keys
Each Unit Owner is required to provide the Board of Directors with a key(s)
to open the door to the unit. The Board of Directors will keep those keys
under lock and key, those keys will be used only in case of emergency.
LAUNDRY FACILITIES
There are two laundry rooms on each floor of the building. Each room has
one coin-operated washer and one coin operated dryer. While you are
likely to choose to use the laundry room closest to your condo, it is
permitted to use any laundry-room in the building. However, whichever is
your choice, we ask that you help maintain cleanliness in the room by
disposing of trash in the wastebasket, by making sure that the washer is
clean when your wash is done, and by cleaning the lint trap after drying
your laundry.
Signs posted in each laundry room indicate that the average wash takes
about 45 minutes, and the average drying takes about 1 hour. Please
7/28/2016
8
return to the laundry room to retrieve your laundry within those time
periods, so that the machines are not tied up for use by other owners. Also
indicate on the small board on top of the washing machine your unit
number using a peg.
PLEASE LEAVE BOTH MACHINE DOORS CLOSED WHEN LEAVING
THE LAUNDRY ROOM, SMALL ANIMALS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO
CLIMB INTO OPEN MACHINES.
If a machine is not operating properly, please contact the President of the
Association so that he/she may call the proper repair service. The cost of
using the laundry machines is nominal: at present, 75 cents for the washer
and 50 cents for the dryer. The money collected from the machines is
placed into the Condo’s laundry account, so that there is money available
to cover the costs of repairs and replacement.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Under the By-Laws of COOCVE and the Ashby D Condo Association, unit
owners are prohibited from having washers and/or dryers in their units.
Since both prohibit such activity, it is NOT ALLOWED FOR AN OWNER
TO HAVE A CLOTHES WASHER AND/OR DRYER INSTALLED IN
HIS/HER UNIT.
NOISE
Unit owners are asked to respect the sensibilities of other owners. For that
reason, television, radios, musical instruments should be played at a sound
level that will not be annoying to neighbors.
PETS
No four legged pets are permitted in the building, on the premises of CVE.
OCCUPANCY IN THE ABSENCE OF THE UNIT OWNER
No guests or invitees of any unit owner (other than children, grandchildren,
parents, brothers or sisters of the owner(s)) are to occupy the unit in the
absence of the owner(s), WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE
BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

RENTALS
Ashby D is a rental building, however you have to follow the regulations for
rental. A document for that purpose is included within.
RENOVATIONS
When a Unit Owner hires a contractor to renovate his/her Unit, that owner
must inform the contractor that all construction material removed from the
unit and/or debris from the job MUST BE REMOVED BY THE
CONTRACTOR. THE MATERIALs ARE TO BE REMOVED FROM
CENTURY VILLAGE, NOT PLACED BY THE DUMPSTERS. If the
renovation is being done by the owner himself, the owner must arrange
with the City of Deerfield Beach to have the debris/construction materials
removed (there will be a charge to the owner).
SERVICE CONTRACTS
Each Unit Owner is responsible for obtaining a Service Contract covering
the appliances in the Unit. There are several Service Companies in the
area, including Century Maintenance. These policies generally cover
repairs to your appliances and replacement when repair is not possible.
STORAGE AREA
There is a storage area behind each laundry room. You should receive a
key to that area at your closing. The area is divided into separate cages,
which are allocated, one for each condo. It is your responsibility to provide
a lock for the door to your cage. You will notice that some things are in the
storage area, but not in the cages. Rather, they are in the ‘’general’’ area of
the storage room. If you are going to leave something in that area,
temporarily, it is required that you tag the item with your name and condo
number. NO items may obstruct the path from the front of the storage
room to the rear wall.

NO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS ARE TO BE LEFT IN THE STORAGE
AREAS. DO NOT LEAVE THE STORAGE AREA DOOR OPEN. DO NOT
LEAVE YOUR STORAGE AREA UNLOCKED. THE CONDO
ASSOCIATION IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING LOST,
BROKEN OR STOLEN.
TILE FLOORS
Any Unit Owner who decides to have ceramic tile laid on a portion of the
floor must inform the workman that the tile must be laid over a ¼ inch cork
sub-floor… This is for the purpose of soundproofing.
WATER AND WATER VALVES
The water valves are behind the building, directly under the windows of
each floor unit. Each unit has it’s own water valve. There are four valves in
each set, marked 1,2,3, & 4. Valve #1 is for the first floor unit, valve#2 is for
the second floor unit, etc.
Each unit owner is required to turn off, or have turned off, the water to
his/her unit if the unit is going to be unoccupied for at least two weeks. The
unit owner may call Century Maintenance to arrange for both turning off
and turning on of the water. There may be a small charge for this service.
Alternatively, the unit owner may turn off and on the water himself. Ashby
D has recently had new valves installed that make that procedure
extremely simple. The valve moves only in one direction up, to turn the
water off – and down to turn the water on.
PERSONAL DATA SHEET
Each Unit Owner is responsible for completing a Personal Data Sheet
which is attached. This is done so a responsible party can be reached in
case of an emergency.
