Marina Park Pet Policy

  1. MARINA PARK PET REGISTRATION POLICY:  A mandatory Pet Registration Form  (Attachment 1) will be completed by all pet owners. Tag information ensures that all pets have required vaccinations (important to the safety and health of all pets).  The form asks for the veterinarian’s name and the name of an alternate contact that has access to the pet in the event of an emergency. Failure to complete the form is subject to penalty imposed by the Board of Directors.
  2. PET RULE ENFORCEMENT PROCESS (Attachment 2): This document outlines a set of steps for reporting and controlling pet problems such as noise, lack of restraint on premises, destruction or damage to common property, etc.
    In the case of a barking K-9 it is recommended that the pet owner purchase a citronella collar or other device to curb incessant barking. Owners will be given every reasonable opportunity to correct or control the problem before any penalties or fines are imposed, but continued violation of the rules or continued disturbance will not be tolerated. 
    Fines will be in addition to an assessment levied to reimburse the Association for expenses and costs.  Fines for continuing or repeated violations may be increased in minimum $25.00 increments and up to a maximum of $100.00, daily, weekly or monthly, at the discretion of the Board.  Four (4) or more violations assessed to a single unit in any six (6) month period may result in additional fine of up to $1,000.00 at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
  3. CLEAN-UP MATERIALS: Paper towels and carpet approved cleaner will be placed in the Garbage rooms on each floor and in the garage. In the event of an “accident” in the hallways or other common areas, the responsible individual will have access to materials for a quick clean-up. The “accident” should also be reported to the lobby attendant who will notify maintenance. Cameras monitoring garage activity will also assist in knowing when there is a need for immediate response from maintenance.
  4. PET LOVERS BROCHURE: A “Good Pet Owner” guide will be developed by the Canine Club and posted on the web site.  It will also be added to Welcome package along with the Pet Registration form and Pet Rule Enforcement Policy.
  5. PET CONTROL IN COMMON AREAS:  All pets must be under the immediate control of their owners (on a leash or in a carrier) at all times while in common areas such as the hallways, elevators, garages, and walkways. 
  6. UNATTENDED PETS OUTDOORS:  No pets may be left outdoors (on a balcony or patio) unattended. When an owner is not at home, all pets must be confined indoors, with sliding doors and windows closed if necessary to control any noise or disturbance to neighboring units.
