What am I responsible to maintain and what is the association responsible to maintain?

While it’s impossible to provide an all-inclusive list, a partial list is below. If your answer isn’t here, please ask us and we’ll get it published for the next person who may be wondering.

 

Roof: The association is responsible for roof repairs and replacement.

 

Interior Damage from Roof Leak: Homeowners are responsible for repairing interior damage from roof leaks.

 

Gutters & Downspouts: The association is responsible for repairs, replacement and cleaning of gutters and downspouts.

 

Skylights: Homeowners are responsible for repair and replacement of skylights.

 

Plumbing: Plumbing is a homeowner responsibility to maintain, and there are no plumbing systems common to the association.

 

Sewer Back-Up: Sewer back-ups are a homeowner responsibility to clear or repair, as there are no shared sewer lines before the main.

 

Siding: The association is responsible for repair and replacement of siding.

 

Shutters: The association is responsible for repairs and replacement of shutters.

 

Exterior Doors & Doorframes: Homeowners are responsible for repair and replacement of exterior doors.

 

Windows & Screens: Windows and window screens are homeowner responsibility to maintain and repair. If windows are replaced, they must be aesthetically identical to the original windows.

 

Light Fixtures: Homeowners are responsible to repair and replace light fixtures.

 

Foundation: The association is responsible for the structural stability of the foundation and repairing any cracks or defects. This does not include water infiltration due to hydrostatic pressure in areas that were not finished by the developer. If hydrostatic pressure causes water infiltration in an area that was originally unfinished, it’s the homeowner’s responsibility to install a drain and sump pump system.

 

Garage Doors: Homeowners are responsible for repair and replacement of garage doors.

 

Termite Protection & Damage: The association provides termite protection, which includes a warranty to cover any interior termite damage.

 

Decks: Homeowners are responsible for repairs and replacement of decks and deck materials. While all units which have decks have the same decking, this was not original to development and was installed and paid for with the agreement of the owners of the units at the time. Full responsibility for maintenance thus becomes the responsibility of any subsequent owners as well.

 

Lawn Care: The association provides lawn care.

 

Snow Removal: Snow removal is provided by the association for the private streets and the private walkways up to porches. The city plows the public streets, which are Sherman Drive and Sherman Park Drive. Unless snow accumulation is greater than 2 inches the Board will decide whether snow should be removed or not. Homeowners should be prepared to remove lesser snowfall from their own property if desired.

 

Tree Maintenance: The association is responsible for tree maintenance and removal when needed.

 

Landscaping: The association is responsible for the maintenance and removal, when needed, of original landscaping. Any landscaping installed by a homeowner, which includes all landscaping that isn’t in the front of the property, is a homeowner responsibility to maintain.

 

Exterior Hose Spigots:: Homeowners are responsible for repair and replacement of exterior spigots.

 

Mailboxes: USPS owns and maintains the mailboxes within the association. Report any issues and obtain replacement keys from the post office located at 1600 Woodstone Dr, St Charles, MO 63303.

 

Sidewalks & Walkways: The association is responsible for maintaining the sidewalks, except the public sidewalks that run along the public streets.

 

Streets: The streets within the community are private and maintained by the association. The streets that border the community, including Sherman Park Drive and Sherman Drive, are public and maintained by the county.

 

Street Lights: Street lights within the community are owned and operated by Ameren Missouri. Any street light outages or other damages should be reported to them at (314) 342-1111. Street lights along Sherman Park Drive are privately owned by the association and the association’s responsibility to repair and maintain.

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.
