 Braemar Towers
Update As of July 2006, the Braemar Towers Condominium
Association is no longer required to provide water sampling
results to the Worcester County Health Department. However,
the Braemar Towers Condominium Association is required to
develop and implement an on-going control plan for Legionella.
Since Braemar Towers Condominium Association is responsible
for developing and implementing an ongoing control plan for
Legionella, CAR Legal Counsel Al Monshower felt that we should
continue to provide a Disclosure to prospective buyers or
tenants of units at the Braemar Towers Condominium and also to
sellers. Al Monshower has written a new Disclosure to address
all of these issues and the Board of Directors at their
December 13, 2006, meeting has approved the new Disclosure. In
order to cover the buyer and seller, Al Monshower recommends
that we use the same Disclosure for both. A copy of the
Disclosure with a line for the buyer’s signature should be
used when writing a contract for a unit at the Braemar Towers
Condominium and a copy of the Disclosure with a line for the
seller’s signature should be used when writing a listing
agreement for a unit in the Braemar Towers Condominium. A copy
of both versions of the Disclosure are now posted on Zip Forms.
