RA CLUSTER RE-INSPECTIONS @ MAR 15+

RA Covenants Administration informally advised HCA this afternoon that:  " ... We will be sending a new round of "intent to inspect" letters to (Hickory Cluster) homeowners that have open violations remaining from the (April 2018 RA Cluster Inspection) walkthrough.  We'll be inspecting some time after March 15 (2019), weather permitting.  These inspections will be specifically focused on open violations, not complete property inspections.  We are looking to see if we can close violations ... open for months."

(RA is) " ... working with about 56 homes (or almost 2/3 of all Hickory Cluster Goodman Houses).  There are 24 (homes) that have just one or two open violations so we want to give them every opportunity to clear these up before the re-inspection.  The letter ... will ask for an update.  The next group (about 26 homes) has between three and nine open violations.  There are six (homes) that have ten or more violations so they will likely be called to a Covenants Committee meeting quickly after the re-inspection."  (One Block 2 home) " ... had 19 violations from the walkthrough and that number is down to nine. ... "  During the 2018 inspections, RA also identified but has not yet formally cited HCA for 18 mostly Refuse and Debris standards Common Area violations, many of which appear to be caused over the years by nearby homeowners or contractors.  HCA Directors are discussing how to correct and budget for these Common Area violations.  Failure to correct April 2018 RA Cluster Inspection open violations after an RA Covenants Committee meeting and final deadline may result in further RA actions.  UPDATES ... March 6:  ... " ... Weather permitting, (RA Covenants Advisor inspectors will be) ... out there next Friday ... (March 15) ... .  We've been able to bring the number down to 42 (from 56) properties with 21 of those having just one or two open violations.  Our Covenants Committee team is taking over the inspections of six properties that have ten or more violations ... ."
