Building Management has a limited number of AVI cards, which are available on a first-come first-served basis. These cards can be distributed to the guests for use while they are staying with the homeowner for an extended period of time. The fee for one night of use is $5.00 per AVI card. It is important that homeowners return these AVI cards to Building Management upon the departure of their guests. Building Management may charge a reasonable fee for any lost or unreturned AVI cards.

Packages that are too large to fit in the parcel boxes will not be left in the mailbox area.

Private carriers, such as Federal Express and UPS will deliver packages by using the visitor access system to call the residence. If the homeowner is not home for the delivery, arrangements will need to be coordinated directly with the carrier.

Packages may not be left in the lobby for the mail carrier to pick up.

Building Management and its employees will not accept packages for homeowners unless the homeowner signs a Package Release Form.
