Trash cans at the curb have recently become a common problem. Note we have “Backdoor Service” which means our trash and recycling (Fridays) cans should be visible and accessible ONLY on collection days and remain at our backdoor / garage / gate area. Do NOT take your cans to the curb. If you take your cans to the curb that is where the trash collectors will learn to look for them. Put them where they are supposed to be, backdoor area, and that is where they will learn to look for them.
On non trash days, please also ensure your trash cans are not stored in public view.

Wall Care:
The Board is seeking quotes for the cleaning of several sections of wall.
If you live along a community property wall, and notice an issue, please send an email report through the Board contact form on the website.
We require that every resident who has the direct benefit of our brick walls care for the walls by keeping their trees and foliage from growing against and over the walls. These practices will help us protect and prolong the life of our walls and prevent avoidable damage to these valuable community assets.
Be aware; owners are responsible for their and their guests and tenants damage to the Association’s common property.
