The Board conducted a meeting on February 19th to discuss these topics
- Specifications for roofs. Owens Corning has discontinued the Desert Tan color only in their Durations Desert Rose is the replacement line but Corning still offers it in their Oakridge product If you have an emergency and need expedited help please call the management company at the number above. Roof replacement requires authorization from the management company and will advise on any questions.
- Parking. Parking on street and in the turn around's continues to be a problem and is prohibited including on the grass (see below). Two additional spots are now to be installed on Wallace Park and Wedgewood that will max out available space. All are encouraged to use their garage and driveways as much as possible and encourage guests to park on Dunluce if no parking is available until 2AM. All vehicles per Pennsylvania law must have current registration and inspection or must be garaged to avoid being cited and towed by the police. Parking of any non-registered vehicle is a code violation in Whitehall even in your driveway.
- Finances. The association is in good financial health. Work was done to invest reserve funds into rotating CD's in order to get maximum interest and protect against inflation.
- On Street Parking is NOT Permitted YEAR ROUND AND WILL BE ENFORCED BY TOWING! Why? Our streets are not wide and MUST be kept open for access to all units for safety services (Police, Fire and Ambulance), deliveries and trash collection and in winter for snow and ice removal. We must pay the snow removal contractor EVERY time the contractor comes and needs the entire width of the street to treat the road. That money comes from the monthly assessments. If your vehicle is blocking any of these services it WILL be towed at the owners expense. Whitehall Borough ordinances also prohibit on street parking once snow depth reaches 3 inches and the shoveling of snow onto a street. Additional parking is permitted on the park side of Dunluce Drive except from 2AM to 6AM by borough ordinance. Violators will be towed at their own expense.

Borough ordinances state the following regarding trash: This a violation of your fellow homeowners rights and is NOT waived if one is moving or for any other reason. Your neighbors do not want to look at your trash for several days. Violators WILL be reported to the borough. The placement of garbage, rubbish and recycling containers at curbside may be no earlier than 3 PM on the day prior to the designated collection day and must be removed from curbside to the storage area no later than 8 PM on the day of collection. With the exception of pickup days when the containers are placed at curbside for collection, garbage, rubbish and recycling containers shall be properly stored behind the front face of the building and shall be screened from view of the street. Please go to the Borough web site and click on services for more detailed information on trash regulations.
- Trash and Recycling 2023. A reminder that refuse pickup (Normally on Wednesday) will be delayed due to holidays by one day In 2023 Memorial Day week, 4th of July week, Labor Day week and Thanksgiving week.
- Who do I call with an issue? Per the bylaws and covenants of the association from its founding, the association is limited in what it can or cannot do. The vast amount of its charge is the roads (including snow removal), common areas, insurance, landscaping and legal issues. We cannot deal with an issue that is not on common property with very few exceptions. We can take action when the integrity of the building is compromised or if a property is not kept up. But for the latter our power to enforce is limited to a $10 a day fine that in many cases cannot be collected until the unit sells. But in many cases, what is going on in a yard is also a violation of borough ordinances which carry a much more robust set of consequences such as much larger fines. Nobody should have to deal with high weedy grass, animal feces or both. In this case it is best to contact the borough code enforcement officer. Individual yards are not the full responsibility of the association as we do not maintain them but it is the responsibility of the borough to enforce its ordinances.
- Pet Waste. Cleaning up after your pet is not an option! It is a borough ordinance! The association has zero tolerance in this matter of sanitation. THIS APPLIES TO BOTH YOUR PROPERTY AND COMMON AREAS. Violators will be turned into the borough as pet waste is a health hazard and attracts unwanted vermin.
- Remember to keep up with your lawn and hillsides in the warm months. It is the responsibility of every homeowner to care for their lawn area and any hillside behind your units. This is to comply with both association rules and ordinances of the Borough of Whitehall.
- Paint and siding details are in the Members Area after login. Consider upgrading to Vinyl Siding (You may use any contractor you wish as long as proper materials are used. For specs, login to the members only area and hit the siding specs link on the right side bar.). Forget that ladder! Increase the value of your property. Save time and MONEY in the long run. As time goes on the T-111 siding on your property will continue to age and need replaced in the future. Avoid the expense of repeated paint cycles and invest in the new vinyl siding, soffit and fascia and metal trim that is warranted for as long as you own your home. The limited lifetime warranty transfers to any buyer of your home for 50 years from the date of install. Talk to your adjoining neighbor about doing the upgrade at the same time for a great look and save on installation! Details and a list of contractors that have been used are available on this site in the members area. If you have any questions or you don't have the passwords, just e-mail us with your name and unit number and we will supply you with that information or give you a call back at your request.
- Did you know that you can drop off your US Mail (letters only) in the community? The mail boxes on Wedgewood Drive, Benson Circle, the box near the entrance to Wallace Park Drive and now at the new box on Wallace Park Drive also contain slots for outgoing mail. The mail is picked up daily when mail is delivered.
