In addition, University Towers prides itself on being a community of residents who are interested in, and care
for, both the building and their fellow neighbors. Its recent vote to respect others with a smoke-free environment
demonstrates that care. Everyone’s privacy is respected yet, because people are owners sharing the available
common spaces, they enjoy a greater sense of community than might occur in a comparable rental building.
There is often confusion between the Homeowner’s Association fee in a condominium and the HOA in a cooperative because they cover different expenses. The University Towers monthly HOA fee, which is partially tax
deductible, covers a broad range of costs, including:
*The property mortgage interest and property taxes are tax deductible for residents based on a calculation by
their percentage of ownership in the building and IRS rules pertaining to deductions. UT shareholders may also
request other routine maintenance be done by on-site staff for a reasonable fee.
