Throughout the year, the Covenants Inspector inspects the homes in Broadlands for a variety of issues. The following is a partial list of violations commonly seen in our community:

• Holiday Decorations
• Lawn Maintenance (*see below for details)
• Mildew, Wood trim, Faded Shutters and Doors
• Repairs (Pole Lights & Fixtures, Fence, Mailbox, etc.)
• Parking (expired tags, abandoned/derelict vehicles, blocking sidewalks, etc.)
• Play Equipment (no application, not stabilized, location, etc.)
• Pet Waste
• Snow Removal on Sidewalks
• Trash Cans (left out or in plain sight)

Primary reasons why you may receive a lawn violation letter from our Covenants Department:

• turf more than 6 inches
• weeds and grass in beds; weeds around property
• overgrown or dead shrubbery or plant growth (including vines running along home)
• tree branches hanging over sidewalks or other properties
• yards with litter, trash, debris or other objects
• other unsightly conditions

Please Note:

• Please remember that lawn maintenance pertains to all parts of the property including FRONT, BACK, and SIDES.
• ALL violations stated in the notice must be corrected to prevent incurred charges.
• The initial violation notice sent will allow 10 days to correct the issue(s). If any issues still remain, a FINAL notice will be sent. IF REPEAT VIOLATIONS OCCUR WITHIN A YEAR OF THE INITIAL NOTICE, ONLY A FINAL NOTICE WILL BE SENT AT THAT TIME.
• Association staff, contractors, officers and authorized parties are PERMITTED TO ACCESS THE EXTERIOR OF YOUR PROPERTY, front, back and sides, for inspections and lawn maintenance per the bylaws of Broadlands Association, Inc.
• If the violation is not corrected within 10 days and a hearing is not requested, THE HOA OR ITS CONTRACTOR WILL ENTER THE LOT AND CORRECT THE VIOLATION, AND THE RESULTING REPAIR COSTS AS WELL AS AN ADMINISTRATIVE FEE WILL BE CHARGED BACK TO THE OWNER’S ACCOUNT.
