• 2012 Budgets. The 2012 Budgets, Reserve Study, and Maintenance Plan have been posted on the Documents page.

• Dog waste removal: Please remember to pick up after you four legged friends. Not only is it disgusting and inconvenient to step in but it is unhealthy for our water systems. Click for further information on what dog waste does to our water systems when left on the ground. For your convenience and the community’s integrity there are five doggy bag stations located throughout the community. If the stations are out of bags it is still your responsibility to clean up your dog’s waste. Let’s work together and take pride in our neighborhood.

• Rowhome lawsuit update. Vial Fotheringham has provided an update on the construction defect litigation, which you can download on the Archives page.

• Light up the dark: Rowhome owners/tenants should check and replace burnt out light bulbs above garage doors in the alleyways. These lights turn on automatically at night and help deter theft and other unwanted activity. An additional step for keeping our community safe is turning your front porch light on at dark. Courtyards and streets are very dark at night, this simple step would greatly increase visibility and again deter unwanted activities. The very minimal cost of keeping a light on at night is worth it for your safety and that of others in the community.
