Hello All
Please be advised, the Trust had two great candidates for the open Board position. Neither candidate received the requisite 67% of ownership vote. However, under the Trust’s documents, the Board can appoint a person to fill the vacated position.
The Board decided to appoint Dudley Welch having received the majority vote to fill this position.
According to the Trust documents, this appointment will be valid until the 2025 Annual Meeting.
Thank you. Lesley Management

| Common Area Etiquette: Dogs |
| Important reminder for all dog owners: We have recently received complaints of dog feces not being cleaned up on the property as well as bags of feces left (on multiple occasions) on the stone wall near D building. As a reminder you must immediately clean up after your pets and proper disposal is required. Per the Harborside Condominiums EXHIBIT B : RULES AND REGULATIONS G3. Unit Owners or Residents are responsible for the actions of their pets, and they must conform to the applicable laws, regulations and ordinances of the town of Marblehead. Per the Town of Marblehead General By-Laws Town of Marblehead, MA>2023-05-04>Part I: General Bylaws>Chapter 13 Animals>Article III Dogs § 13-9Disposal of fecal matter. [Added 5-7-1986 ATM by Art. 103] A. Duty to dispose. It shall be the duty of each person who owns, possesses or controls a dog to remove and dispose of any feces left by the person’s dog on any sidewalk, street, park, public area or any private property of another.

Dear Harborside Neighbors,
Thank you very much for your patience while the Board of Trustees considered revisions to the parking policy following the end of our construction project.
The problem, as you know, is that the total number of deeded spaces exceeds the number of spaces that physically exist in the parking lot. We surveyed the owners in late May to find out whether there was a preference for a single reserved spot per unit, or to return to the pre-construction policy of no reserved spots. The result of the survey, believe it or not, was a dead tie: 11 votes for one reserved spot, 11 votes for no reserved spots, and one “no preference.” Knowing that half the owners would be unhappy no matter what was decided, the Board spent a great deal of time exploring the pluses and minuses of each option. While one might think having one reserved space is better than having no reserved space, upon further discussion a number of practical issues with that option became apparent:
- Enforceability: As we saw during construction, it is very difficult to locate the owner of a car parked incorrectly in a reserved space and get them to move it.
- Disputes over location of assigned spaces: If the Board assigned spaces to each unit, inevitably there would be owners unhappy with their location.
- Changes in vehicles: Some parking spaces are too small for larger vehicles. As units change hands over time, the assigned spaces can become unworkable for the new owners/tenants. We saw instances of this during construction.
- Loss of flexibility: During times when the owner/tenant of a unit is not at Harborside, that space is removed from the inventory of spaces available for others.
On the other hand, having one reserved space per unit offered advantages:
- Spaces could be reserved for those with mobility issues.
- Everyone would have the assurance that there was always at least one space available to them.
After much debate, the Board has elected to return to the parking policy that was in place prior to construction, effective immediately.
- No assigned spaces
- Each unit is only allowed up to the number of spaces it is deeded, including guests, construction vehicles etc. Above the deeded number of spots, any additional guest cars, construction vehicles, etc. should be parked on Gregory/Lee Street (To clarify, if you have 2 deeded spaces, then you are only allowed 2 vehicles in the lot at one time – this includes yourselves, any guests, construction vehicles etc.).
- We ask those living in units with mobility-challenged residents to use their best efforts to leave spaces near the building open for them.
To clear up any confusion, attached are:
- A list of the number of deeded spaces per unit.
- A list of vehicles registered with management. (Additional vehicle information is also available on the Harborside website). If you have any revisions to this list, please let Kim at Lesley Management know.
We will monitor this policy going forward and adjust if warranted.
We on the Board are sorry for the lengthy delay in resolving this issue; a combination of illness, travel and work commitments made this decision take longer than we would have liked. We also regret that there was not an answer that would please everyone. In the end, we believe this solution, with all its pluses and minuses, is the most equitable and practical option available.
Yours truly,
Kimberly Lord
On behalf of your Harborside Condominiums Board of Trustees

Hello All
Please see this reminder notice re: No Smoking Policy. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Dear Harborside Owners and Residents
In late September 2020, the following policy was sent to owners:
The Harborside Trustees require that any non-emergency situation (including a move) that impacts, physically or on the privacy of another owner’s property, will require prior approval of the impacted owners through Lesley Management.
Over the past few years, it has come to the Trust’s attention that this policy needs to be modified. As such, the following policy is in effect immediately:
The Harborside Trustees require that any non-emergency situation (including maintenance and moves) that impacts, physically or on the privacy of another owner’s property, must obtain prior approval from the Board of Trustees. If Board approved, the impacted owners will be notified through Lesley Management with at least 24 hours’ notice.

Notice from Comcast
We’ll be working on the network in your area soon
Getting our network ready for next-generation Internet speeds
Bringing customers like you a fast and reliable experience is our number one priority. That’s why, in the coming days, we’ll be making improvements to the Comcast Business network in your area. The goal of the work is to evolve our network to ultimately allow us to deliver multigigabit upload and download speeds. This is just one example of how our next generation 10G Network is evolving to get smarter, faster, and more reliable.
Our most current information has us starting work in your area on 01/10, affecting service at 24 Lee St Bulk Master Account. While we will make our best effort to stick to that date, sometimes factors beyond our control – like weather – may cause us to shift the schedule.
How this work will affect you
As our teams work to make these enhancements, you can expect service outages. This downtime will affect all of your Comcast Business services, and if you are a Comcast Business Voice customer, you will not be able to call 911 from your wired phone line. Please know our teams will work as efficiently as possible to limit the duration of these outages. We anticipate completing our work within the day.

Please allow this (email) to update owners that the Motion to Amend the Master Deed did not carry.
Thank you.
-Lesley Management, Inc.
November 14 2023
Dear Harborside Owners
The Harborside Condominium Trust Board of Trustees seeks your commitment and assistance in protecting the Trust and Owners investment.
The Proposed Amendment would allow the ownership of 2 units at any one time; what is currently in practice at Harborside. The Amendment would limit more than 2 units owned by one entity at the same time.
This Amendment would assist in keeping the Trust in adherence with Fannie May and Freddie Mac Lending, which governs the majority of traditional lending options to homeowners. This Amendment would also foster a predominantly owner-occupied community – which is also currently in place.
Again, the HCT Board of Trustees seeks your support. Accordingly, please find a Consent to Amend the Master Deed.
Kindly print and sign the attached Consent Form and return to Lesley Management Inc by Friday, November 22, 2023. We have been advised e-signatures are now allowed at the Registry so you may e-sign the attached and return via email to : lesleymanagement@comcast.net
Thank you.

Hello Harborside owners and Residents
In response to concerns from neighbors re: the recycling blue barrels on Lee Street, the Trust is making a slight change effective Monday, September 11, 2023.

Instead, Marblehead Movers will be taking refuse and recycling at the same time on Monday (one time per week) It will “appear” that the recycling is going in the same trash truck, but MM will be separating the recycling at the Transfer station in the appropriate piles.
Please continue to separate your CLEAN recycling, your broken down boxes, and your refuse and place them in the appropriate areas/containers within the Trash Room.

Welcome to AppFolio!
Dear Homeowner,
We are thrilled to see so many owners have already set up their online portals! If you have not already set up your account, please follow the prompts in the email that was sent out yesterday with the activation link. Please note, Management does not have access to the password you select. Just like any other online service your unique username and password is your own. If you forget your password you will need to follow the prompts on the website to recover your password.
We strongly encourage ALL owners to activate their homeowner portals as this will be our main means of communicating with ownership. VERY IMPORTANT: If you opt out of email and/or text you will not receive our electronic communications. Please keep your electronic opt-in settings as “YES.” You will also be able to find important property information such as condo docs, meeting minutes, insurance information etc. It will take us time to upload your Associations documents into the online portal, so be sure to check in often to see the updates.
Due to the inundation of calls and emails, we may not be able to individually reply to all messages right away. If you have called or emailed, we have included your request on our list and will be working as quickly as we can to get back to you. Please do not send repeated requests as we have received your first request.
Please review your account information and advise us if your address, phone number(s), or email or any other information needs to be updated. (EX: you see that we have an old phone number you no longer have. Let our office know which number to remove and the new number to add). As we are receiving a high volume of calls and emails, please allow up to a week to see these changes made in your account.
Homeowners who rent their units should be sure to check the section on tenant information. If there is no tenant information, please provide the following: tenant name(s), email addresses, phone numbers, vehicle information. It will still be the homeowner’s responsibility to provide tenants with community information as you already do. It is our intention to include tenants in emergent/time sensitive text blasts when necessary (EX: plow is there, and vehicles need to move) but homeowners should still pass along all messages they receive. As we are receiving a high volume of calls and emails, please allow up to a week to see these changes made to your account.
For Owners that are seeing a balance on your account and are looking for more information, we are responding to these requests as quickly as possible. Please allow our office up to a week to process this request as we are seeing a high volume of calls and emails.
We thank you for your patience.

Hello Harborside Owners and Residents
Please be advised that we have received a complaint from DiPietro’s Construction Manager that residents are walking through the Construction Set up area in the south end of the parking lot. This Area is Marked and Coned up so no Residents should be walking through or around. Access to D Building should be via the walkway between B&D. There is an open pathway to the South Float Gangway and does not require anyone to walk through this coned off area.
If there are continued complaints, DiPietro will have no choice but to install Temporary Fencing Around this area which not only will cost the Association but certainly be an eyesore to all those at the property.

Dear Harborside Owners and Residents
The warm weather is here and everyone is finally able to enjoy the outdoors again. Please allow this email to remind you of a few Rules:
1.) Dogs must be on leash in the common areas at all times. There are many people walking about BUT the cars coming and going and the additional work trucks and staff make it very dangerous. Again, all dogs must be leashed when in the common areas.
2.) There is absolutely no smoking in any common areas, including but not limited to interior hallways and stairwells, exclusive use common decks or patios, parking area, trash room, docks and gangways. Please make sure your tenants and guests are aware of this rule.
Thank you all for your cooperation and enjoy the wonderful week ahead.

Dear Harborside Owners
The Harborside Condo Trust Board of Trustees received and accepted the attached resignation letter from Jay Carty. We thank Jay for his many years serving as a Board Member and his invaluable contribution to the many projects and issues facing HCT during his tenure. We know Jay will be a continued source of support and historian as we continue to navigate the projects at hand.
Accordingly, the Harborside Condominium Trust Board of Trustees has appointed Owner Joe Parker to fill the vacated position on the Board. Having expressed interest in serving on the Board in the past, receiving much support, and being a full year resident made Joe an appropriate person to fill the vacancy. We thank Joe for agreeing to this appointment and look forward to his many contributions.
Sincerely,
Kimberly Lord
Lesley Management, Inc.
Dear Harborside Trustees
This letter is to inform you of my resignation from the Board effective April 30, 2022. My reasoning is
- • At this point, I have decided to not run again at this Years Annual Meeting. I have thought long about this. Because we are at the early stages of the D Building Egress project, I feel having a new owner serve on the board would be appropriate to allow the time to bring them up to speed before the actual reconstruction begins.
- • I fully support this project as I have been a part of this since its conception. I will of course be a resource for the replacement Trustee and the Board to explain or review any of the historical decisions I have been a part of.
- • This just seems like the right time for me to step back and allow another owner to be an integral part of the project and assist as necessary.
It has been a privilege to have been on the Board for 6 years and look forward to assisting in any way I can. Best to all.
Jay

Dear Harborside Owners and Residents
We are pleased to announce that Phase I on D Building will be starting next week. (Removal of all siding and trim and replacement with Hardie Board and composite Trim boards) A dumpster will be delivered as early as Monday, April 18th along with the required Port-A Potty. Please remember that the dumpster is for Construction use and should not be used by residents for personal household or even individual remodeling refuse. Owners and Residents in D Building may wish to remove any wall hangings on the West Side and North side of the building as there will be banging and pulling off of siding which may disturb wall hangings and valuables. Owners and Residents may also wish to keep the windows closed to limit the dust and noise from coming into their units.
Parking: Please leave the four southernmost parking spaces (from the South Gangway towards C building) along the sea wall open. Cones and other barriers will be put in place marking off the area.
Communication: Lastly, please defer all questions to Management or to the Board of Trustees. Please do not confer with the vendor as they will politely ask you to contact Management or the Board.
We thank you all for your cooperation and again, are very happy to see the start of this project next week.

Dear Harborside Owners
The Trust would like to thank you for supporting the loan for the Building D and Building C combined project. For your information the loan process has been started and the initial contract for the project has been signed. We will strive to keep you informed as we progress.
Respectfully,
Kimberly Lord
For the Harborside Condominium Board of Trustees
March 25 2022
Dear Harborside Condominium owners,
As you are aware, the Harborside Condominium Trust is moving ahead with initiating urgent repair work on Buildings D and C (the combined project). The work on Building D was cited as urgent by the Marblehead Fire Chief and the work on Building C was mandated by the Trust’s insurance carrier.
During our meeting with owners on Wednesday, March 16, 2022, the Trust provided an update on the status of the combined project and an estimate of the cost that included a contingency for unforeseen expenses.
Subsequently, by a poll of all owners conducted by email, the Trust asked each owner to select their preferred option from two alternatives for financing the combined project. Most owners responding voiced their preference for Option A. Accordingly, the Trust is moving ahead with a supporting loan application.
Procedurally, pursuant to the requirements of the Trust’s governing documents the attached formal ownership vote is being taken to authorize the Trust to obtain a line of credit up to $850,000 to support the proposed egress on building D and siding work on Buildings D and C. Based on the results of the selected Option A, the Trust’s intent will be to limit borrowing to $350,000. In the event circumstances dictate the need to go above $350,000 owners will be informed along with the rationale for doing so. (The $850,000 credit line limit was established to act as a hedge against future unknown requirements).
Please read the attached ballot, sign and date indicating your approval of the loan, including your unit number.
Please print the ballot, sign and scan it or alternatively sign it and make a photo of the signed ballot. Please return the scan or photo by attaching it to an email to Lesley Management by no later than 5:00 pm (Boston time) on Wednesday March 30, 2022.
Thank you for your continued support!

Please be advised Justin Epstein will be on site tomorrow morning ~ 9AM. Vehicle should plan on leaving the parking lot when Justin Is on site (Drive around for ~ 20 minutes or go get a coup of coffee). He will then clear any snow left between vehicles.

Hello Harborside Owners
The plow will be coming throughout the day to keep the lot open. The shovelers are on schedule to come a few times when it starts to slow down a bit and open up doorways and egresses. As the storm ends, the shovelers will come for final walkways and egress clean up services.
It is expected that Justin Epstein will be on site tomorrow before noon to remove / move the piles and clear any parking spaces of snow. The easiest way to clear the lot will be to have the cars moved from the lot when Justin is on site tomorrow. We will update everyone with times if / when they are available.

Dear Harborside Owners
A storm is on track to hit Marblehead with blizzard-like conditions. It is expected to start late Friday night/early Saturday morning and last throughout the day on Saturday. With a view to be able to effectively remove the snow during and after the storm, please observe the following guidelines for snow removal as per past practices:
1. In order to facilitate plowing, when snow is forecasted, all vehicles should be moved from the upper lot. Park your vehicle in the lower lot, up against the C or B Buildings or along the seawall starting from the north. It is also important not to have any vehicles in the path of the plow to the south end of the seawall. (This will allow the plow to clear the whole upper lot and move the snow down to the south end of the lower lot. A contractor may plow periodically during and after a snow storm.
2. After plowing and shoveling, and once the storm is over, cars may be returned to the upper lot but should be parked as close as possible against the C Building and as close as possible to the bushes on the south side of the upper driveway. Do not block the garages or carports.
3. A “no parking” cone may be placed in the “Compact Car Only spot next to the entry to the C Building to allow for vehicles to come in and out of the carports.
4. Contractors will come towards the end of a snow storm and remove snow from all walkways, egresses, pathways, exterior stairs. They will not, however, shovel out individual vehicles.
5. Final Clean up and relocation of snow left from the plow may take a few days after the snow storm ends.
The trust would appreciate strict adherence to these guidelines by all owners and residents.
Thank you.
January 10 2022
Hello Harborside Owners and Residents
Please note, while the plowing was decent and to the ground, the shoveling and the detail work around the vehicles and to the entrances is not acceptable. Given that this was the first storm of the year, and the vendors are experiencing shortages, we are working with the vendor to address the cleanup work this AM as well as outline the expectation going forward.
As was done last year, the clean up of the spaces, piles left by the plow in front of garages and carports, and areas not able to plowed will be handled by Justin Epstein and typically the day after the storm.
Thank you.

Dear Harborside Owners and Residents,
If you have not done so already, it is Imperative, that you contact Xfinity @ 1-855-MDU-BULK. When prompted, please ask for “BILLING” and they will assist you through the process.
The Xfinity / Harborside Internet / TV bundle
- The new Harborside/Xfinity bundle, packaging Performance Internet service with HD Choice TV-Lite is now available for all units. As you were notified from Xfinity and Lesley Management, in order to activate this bundle (which means switching over from your old service) you will need to call Xfinity at 1-855-MDU-BULK. It is important that you call before October 22, 2021.
- The bundle is free of charge which will probably reduce or bring to zero your monthly Xfinity bill. If you decide to add additional services such as a fixed line telephone, additional TV channels or a higher speed Internet connection, the additional services will be at your expense and will be billed to you directly.
- Following the advice from one owner, you may wish to do the following when you call Xfinity:
- Be sure to tell the agent that this is for your unit at 24 Lee Street in Marblehead (with your unit number).
- If, before you call, you already have a bundled package, you should probably close it down (working with the agent on the phone), and subsequently have them activate the Harborside bundled package and add the extra services you want.

Dear Harborside Owners
I remember when electronic mail was becoming an accepted means of communicating on a regular basis. Based on yesterday’s exchanges, however, it has become, at times, a replacement for civil discourse, discussion and achieving consensus. It is not helpful or productive. I have no doubt everyone has the best interest of Harborside in putting forward what they think.
We can disagree, and we have, but let us begin by doing it in a civil and informed fashion. We each have a piece of this gem by the harbor. We don’t need to agree on everything but let’s agree about this; we don’t want to be the one to fracture the gem.
Let’s start by listening to and talking, not emailing, to the two good candidates who have put themselves forward. Don’t vote because you are angry, vote because you are hopeful. But vote. Harborside has evolved over the years and continues to do so. No matter how long any of us have lived here, we all have chosen to live here. We have a shared interest in moving forward. We need to move forward with the thought that a collaboration of ideas will better solve the issues each of us feels is most important.
We need to lift each other up so first, our lives are peaceful and, second, our investments are protected. We are entering a phase of growth so please, please let’s come together, communicate in a civil open fashion.
Jay Carty, Board Chair HCT

Dear Harborside Owners and Residents,
The summer season is upon us and with that comes more cars in our parking lot. The Board would like to remind everyone of the parking regulations which can be found in Section E of the Rules and Regulations which is posted on the website. In particular, sections E2 & E3.
E2. Residents are authorized one or two parking spaces as specified in the Unit Owner’s deed.
E3. Visitors should plan to park elsewhere unless they shall be here for only a short period of time (less than three hours, except for one hour in the summer season). If a visitor will be here longer, their vehicle must have a “visitor sign” with the Resident’s Unit Number printed on it displayed on the front dash, and the Resident must park his or her vehicle elsewhere (i.e., the combination of the Resident’s and the visitor’s parking cannot exceed the authorized parking spaces for that Unit). It is permissible to ask another Unit Owner or Resident who is not using their parking space if that space may be used for a guest. If that request is approved, the “visitor sign” must reflect the requesting Owner/Resident’s Unit Number as above and the granting Owner/Resident Unit Number in parenthesis, e.g., D-4 / (D-6).
In addition, if you are having work done in your unit, please have your contractor use your deeded parking space (see E2 above) or park up on the street.
Thank you. Lesley Management

Hello All
Leslie de Moraes was able to speak with Bob Storck and following is the update. Fortunately, Bob did not “break” his back as was originally notified. He did however fracture a number of vertebrae. The good news is that he is hoping to be released from the hospital before the weekend. Bob Storck from his hospital bed, so concerned about his clients, has made proper arrangements to have all his properties covered while he mends. As many of you have asked us to extend well wishes to Bob, we will update you with any further information.

We hope all is well with you and those you care about.
In preparation for the launching of the Harborside Floats the HDC would like to ask residents to protect each other on our waterfront by following an April 27 2020 Governor’s Memorandum which contains a few points we would like to pass on.
“Only persons from the same household should be together on a boat at one time.
No gathering or groups of persons from multiple households will be permitted on boat ramps, docks, piers, etc., and all users shall practice strict social distancing.
All recreational crafts shall remain a safe distance apart.
Tying boats or other crafts together is prohibited.”
Here’s a link to the full Memorandum: https://www.mass.gov/doc/boating-guidance/download?fbclid=IwAR3IundSBOT3UPFNouHQsKHvokjgNHdtujw4TL_1ACN-M4BgZ9ECTd9eoH4
We’ll ask that the state and town guidelines in place for masks, social distancing, and gathering size are respected on our gangways and floats.
We’ll ask that that you allow opposing traffic on the gangway be allowed to exit before getting on it.
And, in line with the new normal of wiping down things we touch, please also do that with the gangway gate, water hose, etc..
Needless to say, any or all of this may change.
We’ll keep you up to date concerning the launch date for our Floats and the installation of the Gangways.

State of the Harbor Update
This update is provided to give a current status of harbor operations and upcoming boating season due to the Covid-19 crisis.
First I would like to state that the harbor is to be fully functional for 2020 boating season unless the state deems otherwise.
As of 4/8/2020 all public docks are on schedule to be installed on their historical dates. This is based on the current abilities of the contractors and State policies. Public docks, ramps and facilities will require proper 6ft social distancing. Please be advised that this could change and will be posted.
Yacht clubs and public launch services will have their own policies in place.
Launching of boats and boat yard demands will be challenging.
Please understand that delays will occur with mooring assignments, mooring service and boat ramp access. Public safety provided by the Harbormaster Department will not be affected.
The Harbormasters office has and will be closed to public visits but will maintain limited personnel to answer phones and conduct harbor administration.
I will provide weekly updates on the town website. If you have any questions please feel free to email the office and we will respond as quickly as possible. harbor2@marblehead.org

Dear Harborside Owners,
The Trust typically would have an Open Board meeting early in the New Year. However, we have not yet had the opportunity to do so. Certainly the unprecedented times upon us all now have further complicated the ability to hold such a meeting.
Although there has not been an open meeting, please allow this email to confirm that the Board of Trustees has been actively working on a number of issues facing the Trust. In particular, the Board has been involved in regular meetings with Tucker Associates, the architect hired for the D Building egress system.
Covid-19 has made us delay work on other projects being worked on, but again, the Trust is in contact with various vendors and work will continue as soon as some of these bans are lifted. It is the intention of the board to entertain the Open Board meetings once Social Distancing is behind everyone and in the interim, the Board will communicate updates on the various projects once they are available.
Sincerely,
-Harborside Board of Trustees

Dear Harborside Owners
As you may be aware, Monday we had a very serious situation in building C. There were “deadly levels” of carbon monoxide permeating through multiple units of Building C. We are most thankful that working carbon monoxide detectors in units were functioning alerting Trustee Wheeler who was home at the time of a problem in the building. National Grid responded, heating units were turned off, and the building was aired out until there was no longer a threat to the building and residents. Individual Homeowner’s plumbers and Bartlett & Steadman for the Trust visited the boiler room where the problem originated, but the source of the problem has not been able to be duplicated. Investigatory work is still in progress.
We want to take this time to remind all homeowners that smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors MUST be in working order. We STRONGLY recommend that the batteries be replaced two times per year.
Likewise, please allow this email to be a reminder that All boilers/furnaces MUST be inspected and proof sent of inspection to Lesley Management, Inc. no later than December 31st. Given the severity of the situation on Monday, this Rule and Regulation will be enforced to the extent the Trust is allowed. Failure to abide will result in fines and the necessary corrective action. Again, the situation on Monday was very serious and could have had a very different outcome, one we are most thankful did not happen.
Thank you in advance to all homeowners who have already complied and we look forward to receiving all others before the end of the year.

It is time to celebrate together at our Annual Harborside Summer Picnic. As always, bring a “Pot Luck” munchie to share along with whatever you wish to drink (aka BYOB).
We will have tables set up by the flag pole and some chairs. We ask people to refrain from parking in that area on Thursday afternoon so there is plenty of room. Extra chairs are needed so if you can, bring one along. We’ll also have paper plates, napkins, etc.
Please RSVP to Liz Michaud (lizmichaud7@gmail.com). Sure hope you will be joining us!
It would be great if you could tell us what your food contribution will be
and how many will be coming. We look forward to welcoming several new owners. It is a great time for all of us to get better acquainted and share our beautiful spot on the harbor.
