Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the homeowner Association?
The Homeowners Association is made of all the homeowners in Brookview. When you
purchased in Brookview, you automatically became a member of the Homeowners
Association and agreed to follow all the Rules and Regulations of the community.
2. Who directs the Homeowners Association?
Each year, at the Annual Meeting in March, the homeowners elect members to the Board of
Directors. There are five members on the Board of Directors. One year two members are
elected and the next year three members are elected. The members of the Board are
homeowners, like you, who volunteer their time. They do not get paid for serving on the
board. Each Board Member serves a two year term.
3. What does the Board of Directors do?
It is the board’s job to oversee the management of the Common Area and exterior
maintenance of the town homes and to see that the Rules and Regulations are followed. The
Board meets monthly to discuss issues that affect the homeowners. Minutes of the meetings
are sent to all homeowners. We urge you to read the minutes carefully since they
contain important information.
4. What are the common Areas?
When you purchased your town home, you actually purchased only the structure and the
ground underneath it. You should have received this information at your closing. The
information is available from the Greece Assessor’s Office, Everything from your home
outward was legally conveyed to the homeowners Association by the Developer (See
Red Book, pages 2, 4, and 16 paragraph 2) and is considered a Common Area which
the Board of Directors is responsible for maintaining.
5. I understand I have to pay a maintenance fee each month. What does that cover?
Your Red Book contains a list on Page 3 of what your monthly maintenance fee covers.
Basically it covers the following:
a. Most exterior maintenance of the town home. (See page 3 for specifics)
b. Refuse Collection
c. Fire and Casualty Insurance covering the townhouses, Association property, and
liability insurance for the Association. (You will need insurance for the interior of
your unit.)
d. Reserve funds for future repairs
e. Maintenance including repair and replacement of the common areas, driveways,
landscaping, etc.
f. Snow removal for driveways.
6. How and where do I pay my monthly maintenance fee?
You should have received a coupon book for your monthly payments. Please note that you
will have to pay late charges equal to 10% of your monthly payment if you are paying after
the middle of the month. (Red Book, p.67)
