How do I update my mailing address in the Resident Center?
While you can update your email address, password and phone number from the Resident Center, the software provider doesn’t allow homeowners to directly update their own mailing addresses. We would prefer they did, but this isn’t within our control. Hopefully they will change this at some point in the future. For now, please email us at service[AT]ajenning.com with your correct mailing address and we will update it for you. Please replace [AT] with the @ symbol when emailing. We don’t publish email addresses to the web verbatim to prevent spam bots from picking them up.
Will the snow and ice be removed, and from which surfaces?
The association is responsible for removal of snow and ice from the private streets, parking lots and walkways within the community, as well as the driveways for the buildings directly off of Land O Woods Drive . The city is responsible for plowing the public streets. The public sidewalks are not cleared. To be clear, the private sidewalks are the ones within the community near the buildings. The public sidewalks are the ones along Land O Woods Drive and Judson Manor Drive. Likewise, Land O Woods Drive and Judson Manor Drive are the public streets the City of Chesterfield clears. The private streets, which are all composed of asphalt instead of concrete, are cleared by the condo association.
To prevent damage to vehicles, snow is not removed from parking areas immediately near where cars are present. It is wise to keep a small snow shovel on hand to clear snow immediately around your car if it is parked in an open parking space.
Generally speaking, if there is any ice accumulation or snow accumulations exceed 3 inches, the association will provide snow removal services. If there is no ice accumulation and snow accumulation is less than 3 inches, the Board can make a judgment call to perform services anyway depending on the nature of the storm and what weather over the next few days after will look like, but most often services will not be performed. This criteria is used to minimize expenses, as if every snow event resulted in snow removal services being performed, your assessments would be substantially higher. It is not uncommon that clearing snow even only once or twice per winter can cost your association more than, for one example, what your association pays our company in property management fees for an entire year. Since these services are so expensive, discretion must be exercised to prevent substantial increases to your assessments.
Likewise, to minimize expenses, while the walkways within the community are the association’s responsibility, they are usually not cleared, since homeowners can also exit to the private streets, which are cleared. Case-by-case decisions to clear these walkways may be made by the Board, but they generally will not be since their function is redundant.
As far as timing when services will be performed, it is impossible to say. Your snow removal contractor services other communities like yours, as well as commercial properties and other one-off clients. Once they are on the road performing services for their various clients, we usually can’t get in touch with them to obtain specific estimated service times. However, in most winter weather events, they may pretreat with ice melt in advance, but won’t begin plowing or shoveling until the snow stops falling. The city also shares no information with us, and getting specific information from them is even less possible. In the event of ice accumulation or more than 3 inches of snow accumulation, both the city and the association’s contractor will get there. Please be patient.
In the event snow removal services will be performed without ice accumulation and for less than 3 inches of snow accumulation, we will usually announce that via email since people aren’t expecting it in that circumstance. This decision is usually made by the Board if the snow is very slick in its composition or if subfreezing temperatures are expected in the coming days that could pose a risk for re-freezing. If you haven’t received an email from us telling you services will be performed when there is no ice accumulation and less than 3 inches of snow accumulation, it is almost certain services will not be performed.
Why is a maintenance request I reported that has been completed still show as being in progress in the Resident Center?
Most often it’s because the contractor assigned to the work hasn’t billed for it yet. While there are some exceptions, we typically don’t close requests until the final bill has been received for the work. In the case of some contractors, this can take up to several months, as not all of them are expedient with their billing. If you know the work is done, this is nothing to be concerned with.
I’m in need of new windows and/or doors. Can you offer a recommendation?
We provide recommendations based on contractors and vendors we work with and their consent to being included on this list. We do not receive any “kickbacks” or other incentives for sharing their information, and we do so strictly as a courtesy to the homeowners we serve and because we believe in the quality and price of their work. None of the contractors below are affiliated directly or indirectly with A. Jenning Properties nor any of its staff members. As these are simply recommendations, we also cannot accept any liability for conflicts and issues that may arise later with these contractors.

I’m making plumbing repairs and I can’t find a shut-off for my property specifically. The plumber says we’ll need to shut down plumbing for the whole building to do this work. How do I coordinate this?
There is no main building shut-off except for the water meter. Your plumber will need to shut down the water at the water meter itself, which they should be equipped to do. We prefer this to coordinating with the water company because they can be difficult to coordinate the shut-off with and take unnecessarily longer to turn the water back on.
We ask that you please take the time to go door-to-door in your building and let your neighbors know what you will be doing. Once you’ve notified all of the neighbors you can, please then also notify us by calling (314) 380-3100 and press 0 to speak with a live receptionist, or email us at service[AT]ajenning.com. Replace [AT] with the “@” symbol if emailing. This way if any neighbors weren’t available at the time you visited, we know what’s going on and can fill them in.
We ask that you not shut down the water for the entirety of the repairs or improvements you are doing. Please shut it down only long enough to establish a shut-off for your unit. Then turn the water back on for everyone else, turn your new shut-off off, and complete your repairs.
I’m making a change to the interior of my property. Do I need approval to do this?
Generally, no. If your improvements won’t affect any elements the association is responsible for, approval is not needed. This would include load-bearing walls and, more rarely applicable, plumbing and electrical systems that are common to the building.
Please note the lack of association approval needed does not mean permits from local government aren’t needed, and we are not qualified to say when you will and will not need a permit.

I’m making a change to the exterior of my property. Do I need approval to do this?
If the exterior appearance of the property will change, you are adding something that doesn’t currently exist, or the work is on a major building component, you will need to obtain approval first.
Approval, if needed, can take 30-60 days, but most straightforward improvements consistent with the norm in the community, especially when others have already done the same, will usually come faster. You can learn more about this process and submit your request here.
Please note the association only issues approvals and denials on the basis of aesthetics. Approval of your proposal by the association does not substitute a permit, and we are not qualified to tell you with certainty when permits are necessary or not.
I submitted a maintenance request, but there’s been no progress, or it’s taking a long time to complete. Why?
Different types of requests may take different timeframes to complete. Some types of contractors are quick to respond, while others may be scheduled out for a couple of weeks. Some items are seasonal and must be done at an appropriate time of year.
The primary reason for delays, however, are when costs exceed what we as management are allowed to spend without board approval or if your need is relatively common and will be combined with other similar needs to save the association money and keep your association assessments as low as possible.
You are welcome to inquire with us about your specific issue, but these are the most common reasons delays may occur.
How do I submit a maintenance request?
Aside from contacting our office, you can log into your Resident Center account and click on Requests in the menu. You can also do so without an account by clicking here.
