4. If any equipment is found to be blocking access to the sprinkler system at any time, the Board may immediately move the equipment in the sprinkler room and issue a warning and/or fine as per the Fines and Warning Policy.

5. Members are not permitted to store anything but the designated equipment that has been approved by the Board.

6. The Board of Directors is authorized to revoke member access and storage of equipment if the member has had repeated warnings and/or outstanding fines related to the sprinkler room.

7. If the member’s equipment is not removed within one (1) week from the date of notice due to permission being revoked the equipment will be removed and the member will have to contact the office to claim the equipment.
