RESIDENTS:
The Board and CAMS have recently received a complaint regarding smoke odors in common areas, including hallways and stairwells. This is a reminder of our community guidelines and we ask for your cooperation.

Smoking in Common Areas

Smoking, va**ng, or producing smoke of any kind in common areas—including hallways, stairwells, and shared spaces—is strictly prohibited. In addition to creating discomfort for neighbors, cigarette smoke, cooking smoke, and v**e fumes are known to trigger our building’s sensitive fire alarm systems. This can result in unnecessary building evacuations and “false alarm” emergency response from the fire department.

Being Courteous to Your Neighbors

While the Association cannot prohibit smoking inside your unit we ask residents who smoke or v**e indoors to be mindful of how odors can travel. Smoke seeps through walls, doors, and ventilation systems, impacting neighbors neighboring units and shared spaces. As a courtesy to your neighbors, we strongly encourage residents to:

- Use in-home air filtration or purification systems
- Open windows or increase ventilation when smoking indoors
- Take reasonable steps to minimize odors escaping into common areas
- Never open your hallway door to vent kitchen smoke — this practice sets off hallway detectors

Ongoing Monitoring

We are continuing to monitor this concern and will work to address issues as they arise. Residents who experience concerns should report them through the CAMS portal so they can be properly addressed.

We appreciate everyone’s cooperation in helping maintain a respectful and comfortable living environment for all members of our community.

ATTENTION ALL VILLAGE OF SOUTHEND RESIDENTS:

The Fire Marshal instructs that we must do a MANDATORY inspection of fire alarms in each unit in our building to isolate the source of a fault in our fire protection system, and until we are in full compliance, a fire watch patrol will be engaged at an un-budgeted cost to the COA.

All owners must sign up via the link in the CAMS email sent today, Friday 4/10/26 for an brief inspection. Time slots are spread over two different days and full participation is required.

If you rent your unit from a landlord, establish contact with them immediately to set this up.

RESIDENTS:

CAMS and the Board have received several reports of a dog off leash in the hallways and charging at other residents and their pets. This behavior poses a safety risk and is not permitted under our governing documents.

According to the Village of Southend Declaration, Section 7.8 states that no pet is allowed on the Common Elements unless it is carried or leashed by someone capable of controlling it, and all pets must be managed so they do not create a nuisance or disturbance. Hallways are Common Elements, and pets must remain leashed and under full control at all times.

If you observe an unleashed dog or unsafe pet behavior, you are encouraged to report it to Charlotte Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control at (704) 336 7600, located at 8315 Byrum Dr, Charlotte, NC 28217. Please also notify CAMS with details such as the time, location, a description of the dog and its owner, and the unit number in which they live if you know it.

Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and respectful environment for everyone in our community. If you have any questions, please contact CAMS.

This is a reminder CRS Safety Solutions will be onsite today. Beginning around 9–10 AM, they will troubleshoot an issue with the fire alarm circuit serving the 1st and 3rd floors.

Resident reminders for this weekend’s winter storm:

Ice/snow pretreatment was ordered ahead of this storm but stores throughout the region are sold out of ice melt and the board doesn’t have any on hand. Expect sidewalks to be slippery until the weather breaks. Be careful.

If you park inside the garage, be sure your vehicle is taking up only one space so that more residents can park inside.

Our janitorial service does not return until Monday, so please do your best to shake snow off of your shoes before walking inside.

Residents:
With another winter storm predicted for the weekend, please be considerate if you park inside the garage.

Be sure your vehicle takes up ONLY one parking space — within the lines.

We need to be able to utilize all of the available spaces for residents who want to use them.
