Clarification on Earthquake Insurance for Autumn Lakes
There is $25,000,000 earthquake coverage in place since Intact Insurance Company’s primary earthquake quote was “fully earned” (non-refundable), so it made no sense to cancel it. Daniel & Henry did cancel the additional $25,000,000 excess earthquake coverage the Board originally purchased. In short, Autumn Lakes has $25,000,000 Earthquake coverage currently.
The updated Certificate of Insurance has been added under More...Master Insurance Policy Documents.
A decision tree for determining who pays the Master Policy deductible as been added on the same page.

Permits – Heads Up
Maryland Heights requires a permit for many home projects (windows, basements, bathrooms, kitchens, decks, HVACs, hot water heaters). During the sale of a house/condo or if an inspector sees a contractor truck in your drive, they are sometimes checking with Maryland Heights or St. Louis County permit departments to see if a permit was requested and the work was properly inspected. This can result in a fine and in some cases demolition of the job if there was no permit. Warning: It does not matter with an occupancy inspection whether a violation was missed on a previous sale, you can still be fined.
For general information about Maryland Heights permits go to: www.marylandheights.com/residents/index.php To be safe -- contact Maryland Heights Code Enforcement prior to planning or starting any work or appliance replacement.
The Maryland Heights’ Guide to Home Improvements booklet can be found on the Maryland Heights’ web-site at https://www.marylandheights.com/Document_Center/Department/Community%20Development/Building%20and%20Code/HomeimprovementguideFINALc.pdf

Rental Reminder
Autumn Lakes Condos is an owner occupied complex. This allows us to meet lending criteria when selling, and it
keeps up our property values. This means that unless you were grandfathered in (ownership prior to September 2009)
you cannot rent your unit.
There is an exception if you are “renting” to your parents or your children, or if you are renting to a roommate
while you are still living in the unit. Just as all owners require an occupancy permit from Maryland Heights,
you are required to get a new occupancy permit each time the occupants change.
A copy of the lease (which can be open ended for family) needs to be on file in the CPM office as well.
Owners who do have rentals are responsible for the actions of their renters, and any fines levied
go to the homeowner. Just a reminder if you are renting - a legal bedroom requires
access to the outside (walk out or egress window), a closet and a private door.
Non-walkout basements can not use the lower level as an extra bedroom.
Maryland Heights and Autumn Lakes do not allow Air BnB or VRBO type short term rentals.
Smoke Detector Reminder
Firemen from the Maryland Heights Fire Protection District visited with residents at the Maryland Heights' Nite Out. The officers encourage changing smoke detector batteries, including backup batteries, annually when we change our clocks. They also recommend replacing the entire detector every 10 years. If any resident needs help changing smoke detector batteries please call 314-298-4400 and the fire department will coordinate getting them replaced. If you need help installing new smoke detectors the firemen will also help with that. Their recommendation also applies to carbon monoxide detectors - replace them every 10 years.
