Updates

n Please remember to report any landscape, building or irrigation issues on Baldwin Park Solutions. Reporting items on Baldwin Park Solutions allows residents to share photos of the reported area(s) and receive real-time updates from management staff on corrective measures being taken. Baldwin Park Solutions can be accessed on the Baldwin Park Network.

n City Homes No. 1 will be the next service area to receive roof replacements. No schedule is available at this time, but it has been projected that the re-roofing project will begin in the summer. Townhome buildings within City Homes No. 1 will receive roof replacements and new gutters. More information will be released to the community as it becomes available.

n New sod that was installed in June has been treated with a fungicide.

Helpful Information For Townhome Owners

This is a reminder that the association does not maintain or make any repairs on behalf of the townhome owners to any balconies and/or sundecks within Baldwin Park. Tile floors on exterior porches or balconies may require grout sealing to prevent water damage. The grout may need to be touched up from time to time as the flooring ages. Likewise, remember to re-caulk around any window or door areas where caulking has shrunken due to sun or weather exposure. Sundecks should be examined annually to make sure everything is “water tight” and that no leaks are occurring at either your townhome or to the townhome located next to you.

n BrightView is continuing to monitor any landscaping that has been impacted by the recent drought conditions. Irrigation has been adjusted to allow for additional watering until the rainy season has arrived.

n Per DRS Inc., here is the Townhome painting schedule for July 2023: Mattamy.

n Per DRS Inc., here is the Townhome maintenance schedule for July 2023: City Homes No. 2, Mattamy.

Schedules will be projected one to two months out to anticipate any possible future changes or delays. Notices are still being left on townhome front doors one to two weeks in advance to inform residents of any upcoming projects beginning in their address range.

Things To Know

n New ARC Process. The ARC Committee approved an updated ARC process and application. The new application and process is posted on the Baldwin Park Network and in CommunityPro. Any change to your building or landscaping must go through the ARC Review Process. If the change is a likefor-like change, an application still must be submitted. All ARC documents can be submitted to me via email at BPatterson@ BaldwinParkCOA.com.

n Trash Talk. The dumpsters in the commercial lots are for use of commercial tenants and apartment residents only. Apartment residents are encouraged to throw their trash down the chute on the side. When the door is closed, it will compact. Commercial tenants are not to use the trash chute for discarding trash. Instead, they should go inside the enclosure and throw directly in the dumpster. Please do not leave trash bags in front of or around the dumpster; this attracts bugs and rodents. If the dumpster is not working (or not there because of pick-up), please use one of the other parking lot dumpsters and contact the office so OUC can be notified to repair.

n Bulk Pickup. The dumpsters in the commercial lots are meant for trash bags and small items only. For all large items, please use OUC bulk pickup. Stuffing these items in the dumpster or leaving them causes multiple issues including dumpster break down and rodents. Visit orlando.gov/ Trash-Recycling for more information and to schedule future pickups.

n Landscaping Upgrades. The COA board has approved a landscaping upgrade project for several of the Village Center parking lots. The first will be the lot behind CVS. This is scheduled for sometime in the summer. Please avoid walking between parking rows and backing in the parking spot as exhaust is bad for the plants.

n Covenant Inspections. Like the ROA, the COA also has covenant standards. The Community Association Manager conducts monthly inspections of the parking lots and building to ensure these standards are being kept. Any property not in compliance will get a violation notice. Covenant Committee Meetings are held on the fourth Tuesday of the month as needed.

n Baldwin Park Solutions. Commercial owners, tenants and managers can submit work requests through our new Baldwin Park Solutions system. It is located on the Baldwin Park Network. Simply click “Resident Home” at the top right, and you will find the link in the middle of the page. If you do not have a Baldwin Park Network account, you can request one from that page as well.
