PROTECT ONE OF YOUR MOST VALUABLE INVESTMENTS BY DEVELOPING A CONSISTENT MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
By doing some simple preventative maintenance, you can extend the life of your home and minimize costly repairs.
- Painting - It is important to put a good coat of paint on your home which may mean painting every three to five years on average, depending on the quality of the paint. Painting obviously improves the appearance of your home and protects your wood or hardiplank from the elements reducing rot. Don’t forget your ACC application along with paint color samples, which must be processed and approved first!
- Power washing - Take a walk around your property. If you see green or black mildew on your home and driveway, you can power wash the mildew off your gutters, home exterior, driveway and sidewalk. This small step of maintenance can keep your property looking well maintained.
- Gutters - Gutters need to be cleaned out on a regular basis. This time of year they fill up with pine needles and leaves. If the gutters are full of leaves and pine needles, they will not drain properly and will need to be cleaned. The extra weight will cause the gutter nails to become loose and the gutter will sag or fall from your home. Gutters are important as they protect the fascia boards.
- Landscaping - Trees, shrubs and seasonal flowers add a great deal to the value of your home and the community. Remember that over time trees and shrubs can become overgrown and unsightly. Please keep your landscaping well-trimmed and yard edged so that it enhances your home and does not interfere with the street.
- Street Parking - Please keep in mind that the streets belong to the City. Please report all street parking to Harris County Constable Precinct 4 non-emergency line at 281-376- 3472.
If you would like to report any violations, please do so.
Any questions please contact Angela Rivera at 281-213-3184 or via email at angela.rivera@associa.us.
DATES TO REMEMBER
POLITE PARKING
Several complaints have been received about visitors leaving their vehicles parked for extended periods of time. Please ask your visitors to park in your driveway or at least in front of your property, leaving your neighbors room for their visitors to park or to pass through with their vehicles.
DEED RESTRICTION VIOLATIONS
By PMG of Houston Management
Trash bins need to be out of view from the street. That means you cannot have your trash bins on the driveway, side of home or behind columns in front of garage door. You will get a letter and if you don’t comply we will send you to the attorney just for this trash bin violation and you will receive the attorney charge on your account. Please move your trash bins out of view from the street.
LEASH LAWS
There have been several complaints about dogs either running loose in the neighborhood or being walked but not on a leash. It is annoying and sometimes frightening when dogs run-up to a homeowner, so for safety reasons, please keep your dog on a leash. FYI-Excerpt from: The Khan Law Firm
Harris County Animal Control clearly states that “all dogs and cats must be kept under restraint while in the unincorporated areas of Harris County, Texas.” In other words:
- Dogs aren’t permitted to run around at large and
- They always must be kept under direct physical control (on a leash) of their owner
BARKING DOG PROBLEM:
- The best way is to call the Constable office to make a noise complaint. 24 dispatches number 281-376-3472 .
- Call from outside when the dogs are barking.
- Request from the operator who answers the phone exactly what to ask for on a formal noise complaint.
- Tell them you would like to meet the constable to make a formal complaint.
- The best way is to talk to your neighbor, but if you don’t feel comfortable call the Constable’s office.

RESIDENTS OF CYPRESS MILL:
Having your lawn cut either by yourself or a hired landscaper, please don’t put out your grass clippings out on the sidewalk until trash days, Monday or Thursdays. We are getting complaints of homeowners putting out grass clippings before trash days. We thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
SWEEPING OR BLOWING DEBRIS INTO STORM DRAINS
According to Herman L. Sanders of the Harris County Watershed Protection Group, “Sweeping grass, leaves, grass clippings, yard waste, etc., into a storm drain is cited as a civil solid-waste violation of State Municipal Solid Waste rules, Chapter 330.15 (a)(1). Civil penalties are $50 to $25,000 per day per violation. Criminal penalties, if pursued, are $500 to $100,000 per day per violation.” Please keep the front of the driveway and curbs cleaned to keep debris from going into the street gutters.
NOTICE: FITNESS ROOM USAGE
No one under 18 years of age is allowed in the fitness room at any time. If you are found in the fitness room your access card will be deactivated and you will have to come in front of the Board of Directors to discuss reactivating card. Please comply with the rules.
SOLICITATION IS AGAINST OUR DEED RESTRICTION:
Please do not purchase from solicitors and ask them to leave our neighborhood. Although it is difficult to enforce this violation, we can work together to keep this activity at a minimum. Please contact Constable Mark Herman dispatch at 281-376-3472 if any harassment issues or suspicious behavior arises.
