FGHA currently contracts, month-to-month, with a certified property maintenance monitoring vendor (PMMV). They monitor 1,500 properties, once a month in two groups. The PMMV reviews compliance according to the association's Rules & Regulations (R&Rs). 

The PMMV provides their findings to the Property Maintenance Committee (PMC) that indicates: 

• 1st, 2nd or 3rd notice
• which rule & regulation is in question
• the date of notice 

PMMV provides documentation and photographic evidence for proper records keeping. The PMMV & PMC do not enter private property. Photos are taken roadside. 

The PMMV's findings are reviewed by the FGHA Property Maintenance Committee (PMC) before any notices are sent to property owners.

Should a property be found to not meet the R&Rs, the homeowner (& tenant) will receive a 1st notice with a response form to provide the PMC with information about corrective action(s) that will be taken.

A 2nd notice will be sent if the corrective action response is not submitted and the property remains out of compliance.

3rd notices are accompanied with a fine.

The goal of property maintenance review is to have a neighborhood that is aesthetically pleasant. Success is not defined by citations or fines. The property maintenance monitoring vendor (PMMV) applies the Rules & Regulations (R&Rs) adopted by our homeowners’ association. 

A summary of findings from the PMMV are published within the meeting minutes each month. Properties are not identified by address to protect privacy. Information concerning a property's compliance or fine status is never shared with other homeowners.

According to the FGHA ACC Guidelines, approval is required for all exterior work to a home in our community. An Architectural Control Committee (ACC) Form must be submitted and approved prior to the start of any work.

The completed form may be:

• Faxed to: (425) 271-5804. 

Turn around time for approval is generally 7-10 days. If you have a "rush" item, please indicate on the form so the ACC chair can call you with approval/questions. 

The specifics for fencing can be found on page 3 & 4 in our ACC Guidelines. You should also review the Architectural Control Rules & Regulations. General & special covenants regarding fencing can also be found in Article IX & X in our CC&Rs. All fencing projects require an ACC form to be submitted and approved prior to beginning the project. 

The specifics for approved roofing materials can be found on page 2 & 3 in our ACC Guidelines. All roofing projects require an ACC form to be submitted and approved prior to beginning the project even if you are submitting one of the approved materials. 

No. Tree removal from your Fairwood Greens property does not require FGHA approval. You may need to check with King County for any required permits. 

This question has come up a lot, especially when news of mail theft is shared. The desire for a locking mailbox is up to individual homeowners to pursue. More information can be found in our Report On Locking Mailboxes.
