Maintenance Responsibilities
The general division under the covenants — see the Declaration for controlling language.
| Item | Responsibility |
|---|---|
| Common areas — walks, drives, drainage channel & liners, parking areas/islands, storm sewers, private utilities, landscaping, grass | Association maintains and repairs (Art. XIII). |
| Your lot & the exterior of your home/improvements | Owner. If an owner fails to maintain to the board's satisfaction, the board may (by 2/3 decision) enter, repair, and add the cost to that lot's assessment (Art. XI). |
| Townhome lawn care & snow removal | Covered by the additional dues townhome owners pay. Each townhome's sprinkler system, shrubs, and plantings are the owner's responsibility. |
| Party walls (shared walls between townhomes) | Shared by the owners who use the wall, in proportion to use. Negligence damage is that owner's cost (Art. IX). |
| Sidewalks abutting your lot — snow, ice, obstructions | Owner, at own expense (Art. VII §9). |
Unsure whether something is yours or the association's? Ask the board before spending money or starting work.
