Useful Links for Unit Owners

Here are links to some web sites that Market Street at Town Center Condominium unit owners might find useful. I suggest you click on each of these links to get a better feel for what is available at each of the sites.


http://www.marketstreetattowncenter.com/
Official site for our Condominium Unit Owners Association (UOA). (Contains our bylaws and policy documents, Board of Directors meeting minutes, Association newsletters, etc.)


https://msa-towncenter.blogspot.com/
Bob’s leasing-bylaw-amendment blog. Check occasionally for new posts.


https://mstc-uoa.blogspot.com/
Paul’s Unit Owners Association (UOA) issues (other than the leasing issue) blog. (The site you are at now.)


https://mstcuoa.proboards.com/
Paul’s message board forum.  (You may find this forum helpful in navigating within the two blogs identified immediately above, because the forum is subdivided by topics.  In the forum, you can see one- or two-sentence summaries of the content of each blog post, along with the link to the blog post, so you can easily go to the blog post if it sounds interesting to you.)  (Although only unit owners who have registered for this forum can post on it, anyone can read the posts.  It would be good for back-and-forth dialog if other unit owners would post.)


Virginia Condominium Act
Law applicable to our Condominium.  See especially the 1949 and 1950 sections.


https://icare.fairfaxcounty.gov/ffxcare/main/Home.aspx
Fairfax County real estate tax records. (Provides information about each unit in our Condominium, including name(s) of owner(s), the size and model name, the assessed value, and the sales prices.  To view information about units recently sold in our Condominium, click on “address” and then enter “12001” in the “Number” box and “market” in the “Street” box.  To the right of “Options” sort by “Last Sale” in “Descending” order.)


When a building permit is required
Fairfax County building permits.  This link is useful if you are preparing to replace your gas water heater or your gas stove, because Fairfax County requires getting a building permit to replace gas appliances.


http://www.dpor.virginia.gov/LicenseLookup/
This link lets you check if a prospective contractor (perhaps for replacement of your water heater or air conditioner) is properly licensed.


On my own personal computer, I have the icons for all these links grouped together on my desktop, and, as a backup, I have these links in my favorites list as well. What worked well for me was to first add each site to my favorites list, then drag each site’s icon from my favorites list to my desktop, and, finally, add the sites to my favorites list again.

I believe the sites identified above are useful for informing our unit owners about UOA matters, and for facilitating communication among us unit owners regarding UOA matters.
