How often do you hear the stories of homeowners associations coming down on families for not taking care of their yards? Now one community has an alternative to fines.
– How often do you hear the stories of homeowners associations coming down on families for not taking care of their yards? Now one community has an alternative to fines — to help people who fall behind on yard upkeep.
With the blessings of code enforcement officials, neighbors in the Sherrelwood community recently banded together to help one of their own. It didn’t take much arm twisting for neighbors to want to spruce up the home belonging to Ron Armstrong.“Ron’s been here and he’s been such a good neighbor,” said neighbor and cleanup organizer Robin Hannon. “He’ll help us with any little thing we might have questions about. He knows everybody, everybody knows him.
Adams County Communications Director Christa Bruning said, “Lawnmowers and everything you would need to take care of your yard, and let’s partner with our residents versus giving them citations.” Edwin Lynch lives a block over from Armstrong and appreciated the opportunity to help beautify his neighbor’s yard.
