At this meeting, you can expect more in-depth conversations about the following topics:
Trash Collection – We’ve been notified of a number of bulk trash dumping instances in the community and it’s negatively impacting our neighbors. We want to remind you about the benefits as a resident of Fairfax County:
- Each household can request up to 5 free bulk trash collections per year.
- To schedule a pickup, call 703-802-3322 or visit specialpickup.fairfaxcounty.gov.
- Once a pickup has been scheduled, please leave your trash in front of your house where it’s easily accessible, and include a sign with your contact information.
No Dumping Signs – To further prevent bulk trash dumping in our community, we will be installing “No Dumping” signs throughout the cluster in July. Repeat offenders may have their rights to services and use of Common Area Facilities such as parking spaces suspended.
Quarterly Dues – The quarterly dues payment will be staying at $210.00 per quarter for 2023.
- Q3 dues are due July 31, 2023. Please make payment promptly to Zego to avoid a late fee.
Community Inspection – We have received several complaints about cleanliness issues within a few townhouses that’s causing pest infestation and rodent harborage in the community. If not addressed, our entire community could be in violation of Virginia’s health and safety code and be at risk of losing trash removal services through Fairfax County or be issued drastic financial or legal penalties. As such, the cluster association Board will be making Community Inspections around the neighborhood (outside the premises of your home) this month to document cases where we have severe pest and rodent issues. When necessary, the cluster association will be contacting the homeowner(s) in violation and/or escalating the issue to the Fairfax County Health Department.
Tree Removal – We will be identifying tree removal needs in the community and discussing options to do so within our financial means.
Financial Updates – We’ll be providing an update of our finances to keep you abreast of our cluster association’s financial health.
Law Firm Changes – Due to numerous ongoing issues with Gates Hudson (our previous property management company) and the law firm they manage, we are going to hire a new law firm to represent the cluster association. More details about the changes will be shared at the meeting.
Thank you,
Southgate Square Cluster Association Board
