A good HOA must be careful not only to repair what is visible, that is, what is on the surface, but most of all, a good HOA must make sure that everything on the property under its care is working properly . It is dangerous to have something that looks good only on the surface, but is falling apart inside.
There are plenty of things to monitor in the Home Owners Association. Landscaping to construction signs, everything should flow correctly to avoid possible dangers.
Landscaping can be expensive, especially if there is no ongoing maintenance done to the land. If the grass is sick and is not known until the disease has spread across the lawn, for example, would be a costly and time consuming expense, but if monitored money will be saved.
The signs around the property must be well maintained because they are easy to discolor, warp, or seem spent. The maintenance of the signs of the property would not only make it easier for visitors, but also help give your property a nice and clean curb appeal.
What about the amenities you have in your property, such as exercise equipment and maintenance such as clubhouse, swimming pool, etc? Keeping everything in proper order is extremely important. This encompasses working not only keep your residents happy but also to prevent potential lawsuits.
Board members and committees could help the Homeowners Association to be on top of things by requiring periodic inspection reports on a monthly or quarterly basis. The use of a form that lists the things needed to be documented can help ensure that everything on the property is monitored correctly and that necessary repairs are carried out expediently.
Homeowners love living in an HOA community when they have confidence that the HOA will make their life more comfortable. The board, management company and the community must work together to ensure that you have a community of happy residents, free from any threat of lawsuits looming on the horizon.
