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.
