YARD OF THE MONTH

The Sheffield HOA wants to recognize one neighbor every month for their dedication and devotion to the upkeep of their front yard. Each month’s winner will be featured in the Sheffield newsletter and will get bragging rights with a Yard of the Month sign displayed in their yard for that month. Residents can win only once per calendar year and must be in good standing. Good luck!


HOA DUES

If any Sheffield residents have not paid their yearly assessments, please email Darlene@crest-management.com for payment plan options. We are happy to work with you.

Please request the ARC application for your home improvement or modification. Please include all the necessary forms, photo, paint samples, solar screen samples, drawings, brochure, lot survey and your signature for us to complete your request in a timely manner. If these items are not submitted with your application, your request is denied.
A LOT SURVEY IS AN ARCHITECTURAL DRAWING OF YOUR PROPERTY SHOWING YOUR HOME, EASEMENTS AND BUILDING LINES. A COPY CAME WITH YOUR CLOSING PAPERS.
You will be notified by letter after the committee has made a decision. They have 30 days to review and respond to your application. If you have any questions regarding your forms, please contact Crest Management.
IMPORTANT: REMEMBER, WITHOUT PROVIDING EVERYTHING WE NEED-YOUR APPLICATION WILL BE DENIED

Deed Restrictions

VIOLATIONS

Do you know what the top three reasons management companies send out deed restriction letters?

  • The first is not keeping your yard mowed and weeded. Mow your yard on a regular basis, keeping it a little higher in the summer months, which helps in water retention and crowding out weeds.
  • The second is leaving your trash cans out in front of the house or garage. Trash cans should be kept out of sight (in the garage, behind the privacy fence or behind shrubs or a purpose-built enclosure. Contact Crest Management if you wish to build a trash can enclosure for Architectural Control forms.
  • The third reason is mildew on the house siding. This often happens on shady areas of the house. Power washing or spraying with a cleaning solution for mildew often takes care of the problem.

TRAILERS, RVs AND BOATS

It is a violation of our deed restrictions to park a trailer, mobile home, RV, boat, 18-wheeler tractor/trailer or camper in your driveway. You can park these on your property only if they are completely out of sight (in the garage, in the back yard behind the house). If you cannot meet these rules, it must be stored offsite (out of the neighborhood). If you have questions on this, please call the Community Property Manager, Monica Reyes, at 281-579-0761 or via email at monica@crest-management.com. Thank you for your cooperation.


GARAGE SALE SIGNS

Placing garage sale signs in the flower and shrub beds within the neighborhood is not permitted. Such signs found in the flower and shrub beds will be removed immediately and placed in the trash.

COMMUNITY INFORMATION AND MEETING NOTICES

If you are interested in receiving Board meeting email notifications, please go to the Crest website at www.crest-management.com and go to communities, then scroll down to Sheffield and there you will find a place to sign up with your email address and if you scroll to the bottom, you can obtain community information, legal documents or applications as well.


LITTER PICKUP

Just a reminder, if you see trash in the neighborhood, please be a good neighbor and pick it up and dispose of it properly. Otherwise, then the trash will either end up in someone’s shrubbery or trees or else get washed down the storm sewers, contributing to mosquito breeding and backing up of the storm drains in times of heavy rains. Thanks to those of you who regularly pick up other people’s litter.


PETS

  • Please remember that you are not allowed by law to let your dogs and cats run loose in the neighborhood. If caught, you may receive a ticket in the amount of up to $500 for such a violation (we have had residents receive such a ticket). If you see loose pets you can contact Harris County Animal Control.
  • A number of Sheffield residents either walk their dogs or let their cats run loose. It is a violation of deed restrictions to let your pet leave their poop on another resident’s lawn or the common grounds (they belong to all of Sheffield’s residents). If your pet does have to go to the bathroom, please be courteous and carry a plastic bag (store bags or the newspaper delivery bag are great for this), pick up the pile by placing your hand inside the bag, grab the pile through the bag, tie the bag up and throw it in the garbage. Leaving your pet waste around encourages the possible spread of pet diseases, such as Parvo, which can be life-threatening, or parasites.
  • A number of complaints have been made about stray cats roaming the neighborhood. To report stray or unconfined animals call 281-999-3191, Monday thru Friday during the hours of 9 AM until 6 PM.

VANDALISM

Remember, if you see suspicious activity in or around Sheffield, please immediately call the Harris County Sheriff’s Department at 713-221-6000.
