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.
