HELPFUL INFORMATION FOR OWNERS Do your driveway and sidewalks look dirty? Cleaning these types of surfaces not only improves the overall look of your property, but also it helps to prevent them from becoming potential hazards, such as a fall risk to those visiting your property. Routine pressure washing/ cleaning ensures these surfaces are not slick and slippery from the growth of mold or mildew, which is so common in wet or humid conditions. Any exterior change to your home — including but not limited to painting, replacing or adding gutters, roofs, windows, plant materials/sod/trees, accessories, structural changes, etc. — requires ARC approval. All applications can be found at baldwinparknetwork.com under Home/Association Information/Residential Owners Association/Residential Architectural Review Committee/ARC Forms.
