Rules and
Regulations
Update: As of 10/10/03 - 70% of you have submitted inspection
certificates or appointments scheduled and we want to thank you for taking care of this obligation.
Rules and Regulations…scary words, aren’t they? We
first learned about R&R’s as kids from our parents, i.e. “Do your
homework before you go out and play!” and we probably didn’t like them then!
Yet, we all know how important they are in every phase of our lives.
We all chose to live in PRVA for varied reasons, however,
it’s a pretty safe bet that we checked out the grounds to see if they were
nice, and probably asked to see the financials of the Association to see if we
were fiscally sound. We understood
there would be those dreadful R&R’s to follow, but we knew without them,
it would not be a good place to live. And, PRVA is a good place to live.
You’ve elected a Board to make sure it stays that way.
One of those Rules and Regulations must be met again in
2003, chimney inspections. Now, I can almost hear the groans of you who don’t
use the fireplace, but, it’s for the good of all, remember? So, here’s the
nitty-gritty.
The regulation states that fireplaces and chimneys need to
be inspected every two years, regardless of whether or not you use them. This is
an inspection year. After the inspection and cleaning (if necessary) you’ll
receive a certificate from the licensed chimney sweep which needs to submitted
to the Board no later than
October 1, 2003
. According to the rules, after October 1, a $200 fine will be assessable to
your account. Most of our unit owners use Top Hat in Grafton. They are good and
reasonable. Of course, we are not officially endorsing Top Hat, you
may use any licensed chimney sweep. For Top Hat info, visit www.paulreverevillage.com/chimneys.htm
.
A fire would be disastrous to PRVA, so, for the good of us
all, please remember to line up your chimney sweep. NOW, you can go out and
play…;)
Thanks!!
