Membership to the Memorial Northwest Homeowners Association is mandatory for all property owners within the jurisdiction of the Association. Most members forget the rights they have as members and the responsibilities expected. The mission of every owner is to preserve property values and enhance the quality of life.
Being a member provides you the right to request a lawsuit to be filed for violating the restrictions. The volunteer Board of Directors attempt to do this on your behalf, yet some may not be observed or recorded adequately. You may participate by emailing your Area Director or Third Vice President by submitting photographs with date/time and a brief description of the violation.
Today we currently have 151 properties (8%) in the legal process for not paying assessments or to correct neglect on their property.
The owners who failed to pay the assessment automatically go to legal for court ordered foreclosure sale. Several properties are going to constable sale in the near future to help recover necessary funding.
The owners who have neglected property, lawsuits are filed to have a judge order the owner to correct the negligence. These properties will also be ordered to reimburse the Association for reasonable expenses.
Don’t forget, paying assessment provide funding for great amenities as well as to protect your property values.
Stay involved!
I hope that the homes that are using their backyards for recreational vehicle storage are being looked into. This should not be acceptable.
Has it ever been brought up regarding the fences on the main thoroughfare be uniformed…..perhaps be converted to brick fencing like some other upscale neighborhoods. Just asking?
The Deed Restrictions apply to the entire property. The Management Company Inspector is limited to photography from within their vehicle. Therefore, the Inspector may not be able to document violations not visible from the street. We have been successful enforcing violations in the backyard like high weeds, storage of junk, above ground swimming pools, etc. It is up to all owners to help with the documentation to be provided to the Court or the County Health Department to enforce this situation. The HOA is willing to help when there is compelling documentation (evidence) provided.
Concerning fences, these belong to each property owner. We have been asking owners to cooperate by installing the required cedar fencing uniform with their neighbor. Some have complied while others have not. A fence project study was performed (many years ago) to determine the feasibility of installing fencing in the County Right-Of-Way. The estimate is many millions of dollars and provides very little value to all owners in the HOA. The County and MUD were not interested in such a project.
Start enforcing the prohibition on parking in the street. It is getting worse and worse. It’s dangerous for pedestrians and seems like selective enforcement of the restrictions. I am not aware on any vote to delete these restrictions from the rules. Enforce the rules equally.
This rule was not removed, but is also very hard to enforce as they are county roads. If the vehicle is inoperable the Sherriff/Constable can be alerted of the issue and will be able to tag the vehicle for tow, but that is a process that will not move quickly either.
Texas Pride seems to have a habitual issue answering their business phone so that their customers can address issues like pick up missed, payment change ect.
I made four documented calls leaving a number for TP to return my call. I needed to update the payment method. That return call NEVER happened.
I had to contact MNW office and the sweet young lady suggested that I email TP. I did, no response. HOA office manager called TP and ONLY THEN did I receive a return call. I submitted the change payment method, that apparently was never put in and my trash was missed being picked up for eight pick up times. After much effort and disparaging email exchanges with TP my payment method was changed, sticker that was to be mailed was not then only after a second request was it mailed. When I received my bill, i was charge a late fee of $20.00 and charged the full amount. Since MNW hired this ” company” I ask that the refuse bill be adjusted and the late fee of $20.00 be returned to my card. I was not late——I WAS IGNORED!!!!!!!!!!
While the HOA did select Texas Pride as our trash collection provider, we are not affiliated with or able to request or enforce action on their part. You have to work with Texas Pride regarding your account with them.
