Be In the Know...
Neighborhood site visits by Associa are contracted and conducted regularly in our community. Some things we've asked them to pay special attention comprises the top violations.
Those are:
- Property maintenance specifically mowing & edging, keeping plant beds free of turf grass, and keeping lawn and garden areas alive and attractive (2.11).
- Proper trash container storage and/or being left on the curb beyond trash pick up (3.08) .
- Non-approved improvements (3.01).
- Unsightly articles and vehicles (2.21).
It is impossible for every violation to be seen during neighborhood site visits. It will be up to us all to become the eyes and ears of our own community. WE live here and it is up to US to protect the beauty and harmony of our neighborhood for now and years to come.
To report violations please send an email (along with a photo of violation) to penny.evans@associa.us.
