Welcome to Schultz Estates II
Condominium Association

Dear New Owner,

By way of introduction, Association Management, Inc. is the managing agent for the Schultz Estates II Condominium Association. We welcome you to your new home and are here to serve you should the need arise. As you become settled, you may have questions regarding the care and maintenance of the community. We recommend first that each resident read and understand the governing documents for the Association. You should have received these documents, known as the Master Deed and Bylaws at your closing.  These documents contain most of the information necessary to define responsibilities, guidelines and procedures pertaining to all aspects of your home and the surrounding community. Please take time to review these, as they are most helpful in understanding the condominium concept of living you now enjoy.

Questions you may have regarding the maintenance of the common areas, maintenance to the exterior of your unit, or inquiries regarding your account status should be directed to AMI at 586-739-6001 during regular business hours, 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM Monday thru Friday. The phone line for AMI is also monitored after hours by a “live” answering service to handle emergency or off-hours calls.  Work order request forms are available on-line at our website:  www.amicondos.com or work order request can be emailed to [email protected]. Please note: Prior to completing a request for service, refer to the enclosed responsibilities list to determine if your request is for an item that is defined by your governing documents as Association responsibility.

Your monthly assessment payments to the Association are due on the 1^st of each month. Payments postmarked after the 5^th will be assessed a service fee of 10% of monthly dues. Make checks payable to Schultz Estates II and include it with the monthly coupon statement.  AMI offers the option of having your monthly assessment payments automatically deducted directly from your bank account through our online portal. Enclosed is a letter detailing our payment options.

If you have any questions regarding your monthly association fee, for example, if your payment has been received, current balance on your account or dispute of a balance, you may contact the Accounting Department through e-mail. Please feel free to place all of your accounting questions and concerns in writing by e-mailing us at: [email protected].

Association Management has been involved in the management of successful multi-family communities for over 35 years.  I believe you will find our office personnel courteous and responsive to any questions you may have concerning the management of Schultz Estates II.  If you would like more information about our company, or if we can be of any assistance to you with regard to your Association, please do not hesitate to call as we are looking forward to making your community living experience at Schultz Estates II enjoyable and rewarding.

Sincerely,

If you have neighbors who are not regular computer users and could benefit from this free program please pass on the information below. Also the site has information if you are interested in volunteering with Meals on Wheels.

The Meals on Wheels is designed for older adults who are home-bound and unable to prepare meals for themselves. Through the program, a volunteer delivers a meal directly to the seniors’ door. Hot meals are locally prepared fresh on a daily basis and meet the recommended dietary guidelines.

A $3.50 contribution is suggested for each meal. All donations go directly back into the program to help provide meals.

Please call the Office of Senior Services if interested in applying for this program.

If a senior is not eligible for Meals on Wheels, he or she can have a hot lunchtime meal at a Dining Senior Style site. These sites serve meals at various locations throughout Macomb County. A list is available at the bottom of this page.

Many residents have questions about the AMI Work Order process. How do they determine what is covered, what work orders are assigned to a service contractor and what work orders are assigned to our association maintenance department, Dan. The following process description covers the hows and whys of the work order process. If you have any questions about this process please use the contact information for AMI listed in the process below.

New Maintenance Requests

When a homeowner places a maintenance request, the Mgmt. Co refers to the Board-approved service protocol.  In accordance with that service protocol, the Mgmt. Co responds in one of three ways.

• The Mgmt. Co assigns a vendor to the work scope.
• The Mgmt. Co creates a service request (not assigned to a vendor) for consideration when the Association next performs a larger project that includes the requested work scope.
• The Mgmt. Co declines the maintenance request and provides its basis for that decision.

The Mgmt. Co & vendors use the master deed to determine the appropriate response to all maintenance requests. When a Homeowner cannot reconcile their expressed position with the Mgmt. Co, they may request an escalation to the Association’s Board of Directors who will either affirm or amend the expressed position of the Mgmt. Co. To request an escalation to the Association’s Board of Directors, a homeowner emails:

• [email protected] for work order escalation requests
• [email protected] for all other (non-work order) escalation requests

The Mgmt. Co forwards the homeowner request to the Association’s Board of Directors who vote on how to respond to the homeowner’s request.  The Mgmt. Co shares the Board of Directors’ decision and with the homeowner and executes in accordance with that Board decision.

Maintenance Follow Up Requests

Homeowners who are dissatisfied with the work scope the Association performs on their unit may request a follow up review by emailing [email protected] and detailing the specific action(s) they are seeking from the Association to resolve the maintenance request.  The Board relies on the Mgmt. Co to be mindful of the Association’s financial capacity when it addresses homeowner-reported maintenance matters.  The Mgmt. Co directs vendors to keep non-urgent work scopes below the amount authorized by the Board.  When an initial work scope fails to resolve the issue, and a homeowner reports the matter is unresolved, the assigned vendor will return either on a warranty basis or with the approval to perform a supplemental work scope.

Please call Priority Waste for trash/recycling questions, large item pick-up, arrange renovation disposal, etc.
Priority Waste:  586.228.1200

Trash must be securely contained in plastic bags. Place breakables in heavy paper bags or other containers to prevent shattering and cutting through the plastic bag. Flatten Boxes so that they take up less space. Do not leave garbage, furniture, or appliances on top or next to the dumpster, they will not be picked up.

Co-owners that may have large items to be discarded can use the Maintenance yard on Beverly. This area is not for rehab or construction materials. Please get your own dumpster for these items. Approval is required if getting your own dumpster.

Your Board of Directors in conjunction with AMI have implemented the following parking/towing rules.

Signage has been posted at the following entrances Greenfield, 19 Mile, Garfield and Edloydtom at Beverly Way.

Any vehicle parked 24 hours or more on our streets will have a violation parking sticker placed on it. The next time it will be towed at your expense.

Any vehicle that is parked in visitors for 24 or more hours without being moved will also be in violation and receive a sticker. The next time it will be towed at your expense.

Any vehicle that is unlicensed in our visitors parking or unlicensed on the street for 24 hours or more will receive a sticker and the next time it will be towed at your expense.

Legally all we need do is post the signs and that has been completed as of June 2, 2022.

This is intended to keep our roads clear for emergency vehicles and to prevent our parking areas from being abused. Your adherence to these rules is appreciated. It has become necessary to take these measures due to habitual offenders.
