The ACC Takes a New
Approach to Get the Job Done!
It
is the responsibility of the ACC to enforce our subdivision’s restrictive
covenants and protect each homeowner’s investment. The restrictive covenants,
which we all must adhere to and is supported by Georgia Law, make it mandatory
to maintain our properties and the guidelines set forth by this community. The
ACC will enforce compliance to the rules of the neighborhood and will advise
each homeowner of any existing problems and refer all non-compliance to the
Afton Downs corporate attorney for legal action if necessary.
The
process concerning notifications of maintenance and other ACC business has
changed. To keep the community better informed and involved, the new procedures
will be as follows:
- A chart will be forwarded
monthly to all homeowners to inform the community of properties that are
in non-compliance of the restrictions and the law. The chart will consist
of phases progressively leading to legal action.
- Letters will be mailed to
inform homeowners of existing problems on their property and ask them to
contact the ACC if these problems cannot be resolved immediately. The ACC
will attempt to work with homeowners at all phases to offer solutions and
referrals. Properties will not be listed on the chart at that time.
- Phase I will involve a
follow-up letter to those homeowners who have not resolved the problem(s)
and have not contacted the ACC for assistance. If the ACC has not been
contacted within a two-week period, the property and issue shall be placed
in phase I on the chart.
- Phase II will consist of a
warning of the existing situation and a plea to resolve the issue or at
least discuss it with the ACC. After a two-week period from phase I, the
property shall be listed in phase II.
- Phase III shall be a final
warning of the existing problem(s) and the homeowner’s failure to comply
in resolving the issue. After a two-week period in phase II, the property
with documentation will be listed in Phase III and delivered to the
attorney for legal action.
- Phase IV shall represent all
cases being handled by the ADHA and its attorney(s).
We hope these new procedures
will encourage homeowners to take responsibility for their property and allow
for positive and effective communication between the homeowners and the ACC. By
working together, we can maintain the beauty and peace in our neighborhood and
support one another in times of understanding.
