Message To New Owners and Tenants
Welcome to Shearwater
Whether you are a renter or an owner, we extend a warm welcome to you.
You can find a wealth of information about Shearwater on this website, including information about how to contact the property manager (Brodie Management, 410-571-1400), copies of association by-laws, a list of reliable resources, minutes for all association meetings, information about the marina, floating docks and kayak rack, answers to Frequently Asked Questions, and a directory of community residents.
For a complete list of rules and regulations, see the documents section on the website. There are a few rules that may not be obvious but can go a long way toward being a good neighbor. Most have to do with parking, trash disposal, and the marina. Please make yourself familiar with the following rules, and take the time to review the complete regulations on the website.

Please...Don't Feed Me!
Some people think they're cute,
Some people think they're a pest,
Either way please don't feed them,
all that does is make one big mess.
Seriously, be considerate of your neighbors and don't feed Shearwater's wildlife.

Potential Electrical Hazard
|
Some unit owners have expereinced problems with their electrical panels that could be hazardous. If you have breakers that constantly go off or sparking, you should consider getting an electrician or home inspector to look at your panel. It is believed that the problem may be that some of the panels contain an aluminum bracket that is not as safe as newer copper panels. Reminder on Need for Permits
The City of Annapolis reminds owners who are contemplating interior renovations to their condo unit, that a building permit is required. Typically your contractor would apply for this permission.
