HOW'S YOUR FENCE LOOK ???

When you install a privacy fence there are some considerations. First of all the Association does not maintain it, or for that matter anything the developer, or later on the Association, did not install. Fences may not be attached to the building, and only white vinyl fences are approved.

That means you are responsible for the care and CLEANING of the fence. And some of you have really dirty and moldy fences.

You should clean your fence at least once a year . No one likes to see a part green and part white fence. Now we don't care if you clean the courtyard side of the fence, just the public side. 


This also goes for you members that have stained, painted or veneered your front porch. You need to maintain it also. If it is stained, chipped or faded, RE-DO it.


The association is in the process of identifying those units that either need the trim cleaned or touched up. 

But while you are cleaning your fence, how about looking at your front porch area. A quick cleaning of the trim, columns and door could save the Association a lot of $$$$ and really improve the complex. I know we all moved to condos so we wouldn't have to do outside chores, but your help can keep our Association fees low.
