To lay out practical rules for balcony usage to ensure member safety and the overall appearance and amenity of the Railyard Housing Co-op.

Balconies, patios, terraces or limited common property should be used primarily as outdoor spaces for the enjoyment of members. Members should take care not to engage in activities that may affect other members in outdoor or indoor spaces nearby. This includes playing loud music, loud games such as floor hockey, smoking or burning of incense (see Occupancy Agreement), charcoal or open fires that may cause smoke. Any items stored on balconies should be neatly arranged or enclosed and not detract from the overall appearance of the building. The Co-op reserves the right to restrict items that make the space seem unduly cluttered and disorganized and especially if they are not one of the following:

• One working electric barbecue
• Plants (Planters must be raised one inch to allow airspace if sitting on anything other than concrete)
• Outdoor furniture

At the discretion and request of the Co-op, and according to the timeline provided, a member must remove any items that annoy other members or detract from the overall appearance and amenity of the Co-op. Failure to comply will result in items being removed at the member’s expense.
