that they are there legitimately.
All charitable organizations are required to be registered with the

Below is a description of the types of
inspections that are done on Ashburn Farm properties. All
inspections are done to outside only. Ashburn Farm staff do not
perform any inspections inside the home.
Complaint Inspection: These are
inspections made to investigate a specific complaint
received by the Association Office. All complaints to the office
must be made in writing-see resident Complaint Process in the right
column.
Annual Inspection: Annual
inspections are performed (as workload permits) to insure that the exterior appearance of
the
properties are in compliance with our Covenants and
Restrictions and the Architectural Guidelines.
Annual inspections are primarily performed as "curb appeal" inspections
where the entire property is not inspected, unless maintenance issues
are sighted from the curb. A curb appeal inspection will surface
maintenance issues such as but not limited to: faded or peeling paint,
missing shutters, missing house numbers, fence repairs, rusted metal
railings, rust stains on concrete steps, non-conforming exterior
modifications, poor landscape maintenance such as overgrown shrubbery,
trees/shrubs impeding safe pedestrian passage on sidewalks, & dead
plants.
Disclosure Inspection: These inspections are
performed at the request of the homeowner, automatically when a
Disclosure Packet is applied for. The homeowner's property
is walked and inspected for compliance. (Landscape, lawn and the
exterior of the home will be viewed.) The Association will
verify that all exterior modifications have been applied for and
constructed in accordance with the approved application. If
modifications were made without an Exterior Alteration Application (EAA)
being submitted and approved or if the modification was not constructed
in accordance with the approved application, then this would be a
violation.
Some of the most common exterior
modifications that have been noted as violations are:
-
Hardscape i.e., walkways, patios, widening
of driveways
-
Play sets or other recreational structures
-
Color changes on doors, shutters, siding,
etc.
-
Major landscape enhancements, including
walls, rock & ponds
-
Removal of porch railings
Other exterior issues that would constitute
a violation include, but are not limited to:
-
Peeling paint and exposed wood on any area
of the home
-
Rusted and corroded metal railings, rust
stains on steps and landing
-
Fences that are beyond "weathered
naturally", i.e., excessive mold or mildew or fungus, etc.
-
Excessive warping on any exterior wood
structure i.e., fence pickets, garage doors, etc.
-
Excessive mildew, mold, grime on any
exterior structure i.e., walkouts, decks, siding, etc.
-
Landscape is examined for dead plants,
excessive weeds, etc.
-
Missing or damaged gutters, downspouts,
shutters, fence & railing pickets, etc.
-
Mismatched paint colors (i.e., shutters
that are 2 or more different colors).
-
Any exterior structure requiring
maintenance
The homeowner is notified of any detected
violations (from any of the above inspections) and given a time-frame in
which to make the repairs or perform the maintenance. When the
current homeowner is completed resolving those items in violation, the
Association Office should be notified by the homeowner, and a second
inspection requested to confirm and close out the violation's which are
on record.
