Front Gate Camera Use & Data Policy

To all Owners and Residents:

As announced on October 5, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Westwood Village Townhomes Association and Westwood Village Condominiums Unit Owners Association approved the installation of security cameras at our gated entry.  Due to inclement weather earlier this week, the installation was pushed to today, October 10, 2025.

As the installation will complete today, we wanted to make owners and residents aware of the policy adopted in relation to the camera/license plate recognition system.

Regards,

Westwood Village CUOA
