entering the property. If you need a guest pass for anyone you have visiting the
property on Halloween night, please contact our office and we will provide a guest pass
for you. If you have guests coming to the property, please make sure you give them this
pass. As always, residents must display an NSHOA parking tag in the windshield to
park on the property. If you do not have an NSHOA parking permit sticker, you will
be stopped when entering the property so please make sure you have a sticker to
show you live on site. If you need a permit sticker, please complete a vehicle
information form which can be found on the website (above) or in your homeowner
portal, and return it to Management.

Be safe and have a Happy Halloween!

March 13, 2023: Monday-Wednesday Storm Information

Posted on by Chelsea Cove Northside

Good morning North Side. Unfortunately we’re expecting a big snow storm tonight into possibly Wednesday. Below is some important information concerning North Side HOA.

1. The red flags will be out on the main strip which means no parking on the main strip. Red flags = no parking. If you see the red flags out, DO NOT PARK ON THE MAIN STRIP. The main strip must be kept clear of all cars for the duration of the storm so the road can be cleaned of snow. Vehicles on the main strip will be towed so please do not park on the main strip. We know it sounds redundant but people continue to park on the main strip when the red flags are out and end up getting towed.

2. This storm will be a marathon storm which means it will go on for a long time. Do not move your cars to the main strip tomorrow because we have no idea when parking spaces will be cleaned. Please refer to #1 – no parking on the strip. We will send an email and a text to everyone letting you know when cleanup will start for the parking spaces. Do not move your cars until you receive the email/text.

3. Due to the amount of snow we’re expecting, ALL cars have to move for cleanup of the parking spaces. There is plenty of time to make arrangements now so please don’t wait until it’s time to move cars to say you’re at work and can’t move your car, your car doesn’t start or you worked the night shift and won’t be awake. Please make arrangements now to either move your car off the property or give your keys to a neighbor, friend or relative to move it for you. Leaving snow around any of the cars creates a liability for both the snow company and North Side HOA which in turn affects every single homeowner should someone fall. The fine for not moving for snow cleanup is $100.00 per car and/or towing.

4. Lastly, when it’s time for cleanup of the parking spaces, it’s going to take most of the day for the contractor to do the whole property due to the amount of snow. Keep in mind that the same crew will be working from tonight to possibly Wednesday morning only with breaks here and there so they will be exhausted. Let’s get them home as fast as possible. You can help by clearing off your cars ahead of time and being ready to move when it comes time for your lot’s cleanup. A lot of times, the trucks will enter the lot and people will just start clearing their cars off despite beeping of horns, emails and texts. The faster everyone exits the lot, the faster the snow removal will go and the workers will be able to get back to their families.

Please stay safe out there and don’t drive if you don’t have to. If anyone has questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact us. Have a a great day.

North Side HOA – Red Flags on the Main Strip

Posted on by Chelsea Cove Northside

We originally expected this snow storm to be a light one but unfortunately the forecasts are saying otherwise now. The snow contractor has recommended that the RED FLAGS be placed on the main strip to indicate NO PARKING until the storm is over and the roads have been cleared and salted.

Please do not park your car anywhere on the main strip. If it is already on the main strip, please move it. The strip needs to be kept clear of cars so the plows can keep the road clear of snow.

If any cars are left on the main strip while it is snowing, they run the risk of being towed.

We will follow up with more information tomorrow on whether or not cars will have to be moved for plowing of the parking spaces. Thank you and have a pleasant evening.

Fall/Winter Reminders

Posted on by Chelsea Cove Northside

November, 2022

Northside Homeowners Association
P.O. Box 1546 Highland, NY 12528
845-834-2368  NSHOA@CPPM.US
Chelseacovenorthside.com

Dear North Side residents:

We are officially into the cold weather now so here are some fall/winter reminders for all residents:

  • Pellet stoves or fireplaces: If you have a pellet stove, fireplace or wood stove, please have them cleaned by a professional prior to using Receipts of cleaning must be returned to our office. Please note wood burning stoves, fireplaces and coal stoves are no longer permitted to be installed. If you have one, it has been grandfathered in but cannot be replaced.
  • Holiday decorations should have been removed from outside of the units by Thursday, November 10th per the Rules and Regulations. This includes pumpkins left from Halloween as they will begin to rot.
  • Outside water spigot – Be sure to turn the water valve off in your basement and then open the spigot outside to drain the water This will prevent freezing of the line over the winter which can result in the pipe bursting and flooding your unit.
  • Fuel storage – Wood and bags of pellets are permitted to be stored on your back patios until April Wooden pallets must be disposed of properly when you’re finished with them. They cannot be placed outside the dumpsters and they cannot stay behind your unit throughout the year. In addition, delivery of the pellets must be in the front of the unit. At no time are trucks or cars permitted to drive on the lawn.
  • Snow policy – Look out for a future email containing the 2022-2023 snow policy and please, if you have not already – provide your cell phone number for texting as we plan to use community wide texting for snow removal notifications this winter. It really helped last winter with alerting residents to move cars for snow removal.
  • NSHOA Parking permits – Please make sure your vehicles have a NSHOA parking permit sticker while on the property.
  • Gutter Cleaning – This year’s gutter cleaning (front and back) is scheduled for Monday, November21st. Please note that leaf blowers are used when cleaning the gutters so please make sure your personal items are moved or secured as debris may fall during the cleaning.

Summer Reminders 2022

Posted on by Chelsea Cove Northside

Dear North Side Residents:

With the warmer weather hopefully here to stay, we would like to remind everyone of some things to keep in mind while living on the property.

  • Please obey the community speed limit – there are more children playing outside and they don’t always pay attention to their surroundings.
  • Children are not permitted to play with balls on the property. This includes inside the tennis courts.
  • Motorized bikes, atv’s, dirt bikes, etc are not permitted on the property
  • Please do not feed the wildlife. Feeding them bread or anything similar does them more harm than good and causes them to keep coming around which damages the lawns.
  • If your building was already sided, you cannot drill into or hang things in any way from the new siding or trim as it voids the warranty of the product.
  • For buildings which were already sided or are nearing the siding process, the warranty on the siding product requires that dirt/mulch be at least 6 inches from the surface of the product. If you have dirt, mulch, stones, etc within 6 inches of the bottom of the siding, please remove it. Plants should also be away from the siding.
  • If you wish to replace your windows or doors, approval is required first. You can complete an architectural review request through your homeowner portal.
  • Front porches are required to be stained by the homeowner. If your front porch has not been stained in a while, please stain it this year as it prevents the wood from aging/warping and in turn, needing replacement. We will be noting on the next inspection, porches that are in need of stain.
  • Vehicles with oil leaks or the like – some of the property was recently paved as we know. If your vehicle is leaking any type of fluid, it will damage the new asphalt. Vehicles with fluid leaks are not permitted on the property so please take care of your vehicle leak promptly. There are areas of the property which are scheduled for paving this year as well. If your vehicle leaks any type of fluid, please have it repaired now before paving begins. The cost to repair any damage to the new/newer pavement as a result of fluid leaks will be the responsibility of the vehicle owner.
  • Please pick up after your dogs and walk them only in the approved dog walk areas. Please also keep them off the newly planted grass seed around the property. Dog urine damages grass.

Thank you all for your attention to these matters and as always, let us know if there are any questions or concerns. Have a great summer!
