Things To Know

n Annual Tree Trimming. The annual tree trimming for the commercial lots will start sometime in March. The purpose is to lift the trees to keep and establish the canopy. The crepe myrtles will be trimmed, as well. n Loading Zones. Most parking lots around Baldwin Park have loading zones. These areas are for short-term loading and unloading vehicles only — and not for parking. Please make deliveries and unloads quick, because it can cause a traffic jam if these zones are blocked.

Helpful Information For Owners Wildlife In Structures

The tree-lined streets of Baldwin Park offer shady canopies for residents to enjoy the outdoors and provide homes for amazing animals like songbirds, squirrels and even bats.

Bats provide great pest control. They are protected year-round from harm and cannot be evicted from buildings until after the end of the annual bat maternity season, between April 15 and Aug. 15.

Now is the time to evaluate your home for potential wildlife entry points and make necessary repairs. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission provided us with a comprehensive video addressing “How to Remove Bats from Buildings.” You can access it by visiting youtube.com/ watch?v=IbaKnvc8sZA.

Helpful Information For Townhome Owners

Dryer Vent Cleaning

The townhome Service Area Committee would like to ensure every owner is aware of the importance of cleaning your dryer vent. It is recommended the dryer vents be cleaned every year. Lint clings and can build up inside of the vent hosing. This can create a potential fire hazard by trapping the heat inside the vent system. When this happens, it also can cause condensation to form that in some cases creates what looks like a leak on your ceiling. Please check the phone book, internet or any other referral source for carpet cleaning companies, dryer vent cleaning companies or other general contractors for this type of work.

n Advanced Roofing will release a more detailed schedule to the community for roof replacements once the exact dates have been selected.

n New sod that was installed in January/February has been treated with a fungicide.

n BrightView is continuing the annual trimming of crepe myrtles within the service areas.

n BrightView currently is working on a schedule for the annual tree trimming of the canopy trees. This schedule will be available once it has been provided by the vendor.
