If you plan to renovate or alter your apartment in any way, you must have approval from Management. For approval, you will need to submit a completed Alteration Agreement.

Copies of the Alteration Agreement can be found initially in the cubbies, and can also be obtained by contacting the Maintenance Department at 201-453-2436.
