​You will soon receive instructions on this also.

​Because of Covid-19, when walking through Belmar Gardens, please remember to wear masks, practice 6 feet social distancing, wash your hands constantly.  Please be safe and check on your neighbors if possible. 

Many of our residents are struggling through this difficult time.  Please note the information below if it can help you in anyway.

The Lincoln Park Community Center Food Pantry will operate strictly as a drive-up pantry. No patrons will be allowed inside the building.

They have made these changes in hopes of reducing the risk of exposure as well as to aid with the reduced volunteer staffing.

All food pantry patrons will receive a standard selection of available food and paper good items. There will be
a limit of 2 “families” per vehicle.

Although the drive up food pantry will still continue
on Wednesdays, they have changed their hours to
4:30pm - 6pm.

PWSA - PGH H20
As we all know, PWSA have started their Water Main Replacement Project. This project, will replace portions of water mains on several streets, providing more reliable water service to our customers. They are offering updates on their website that let you know what streets they are currently working on and any annoucements. Please see the site here: https://www.pgh2o.com/projectsmaintenance/search-all-projects/2020- water-main-replacement-homewood, lincoln-lemington Please direct any issus to H2O PWSA.​

PWSA - PGH H20 Customer Portal
As many residents have been concerned about the high cost of their water bill, we would like to let you know that you are able to monitor your own water usage through the Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority (PWSA) website. An instructional flyer was mailed out to you. Should you have any issues or questions with logging on, please reach out to Katie Smerkol at 412-779-0367 or ksmerkol@rubinoffcompany.com

​Belmar Gardens Updates

Carrying charges will remain the same as of January 2020 but is subject to change if necessary.

Our sincerest condolences to the families of 
  • Lorraine "Renie" Pratt, a longtime resident of Belmar Gardens
  • Dorothy Mosley, a longtime resident of Belmar Gardens, who was in a nursing home.
Please keep these families in your prayers.

Remember to turn your outside water faucets off and remember to turn it off inside your basement also.  We have had many pipes burst because shareholders did not turn the water off from the outside and the inside.  If you do not know where it is or you cannot reach it, please call Rubinoff Company to help you.
 
The first day of Winter is December 21, 2020. Please report any snow removal problems to the Rubinoff Company or on our website.  Also, please do not block the areas of snow removal so the plows cannot clear the snow for everyone.

Stahl Plumbing will be visiting every house to check the furnaces and change the batteries in your smoke detector.  If your smoke detector or carbon monoxide detector is determined to be bad, Belmar will replace it, not Stahl.

Zone 5 police can be contacted at 412-665-3605 for non-emergencies. 911 can be used for anything that you need the police for right now.

Please remember, according to Belmar Gardens Rules and Regulations, anyone over 18 who moves into your unit must pass a criminal check.

Lock your car doors!!  Thieves are going around the community trying unlocked car doors and vandalizing once they are in.

Remember, the responsibility for Belmar lies on all of us, not just the Board members.  Help do your part in keeping Belmar safe and liveable!

If you have information to share with the community, please see one of the Board Members assigned to your unit or any Board Member.

Neighborhood Community Updates

The Health Department reminds all county residents to avoid contact with wild animals or animals they do not know. Residents should have their pets vaccinated, and watch for unusual behavior. Rabies is a virus transmitted by an animal bite or scratch. It is almost always fatal when exposures are left untreated. The rabies vaccine is highly effective when given promptly after an exposure, but is still a major expense and inconvenience that can be avoided. The best prevention is to avoid stray animals, wild animals or those acting strangely as they can be potentially rabid.

LOCK YOUR CAR DOORS! Someone is checking car doors at night and stealing personal belongings. If at any time you see someone or something suspicious, please call the police and report the incident AND report it to the Board on the “Contact Us” section of the website or to your Board Member. You can also call Rubinoff and report it to Katie Smerkol.

Dogs and other pets – All dogs must be kept on a leash at all times.  Please carry a pooper scooper to clean up when walking your dog. If you see a dog without a leash, please report it to Animal Control and to the Rubinoff Company or the "Violation Reporting Form" in this website.  The violator will receive fines from both places.

Please remember, parking in the common driveways is prohibited.  Parking against the fences in the back of units is also prohibited.  This restricts your neighbor from maneuvering in or out of their garages.  This will be enforced and fines attributed to the shareholder.  If you see this happening, please report it to the Rubinoff company or on the company website.

Parking on the one side of the street, on the grassy areas or up on the curbs is also prohibited.  It causes problems for buses to get through and concreting the sidewalks is a costly expense to all shareholders of Belmar Gardens.  If you see this happening, please call the police and then report it either to the Rubinoff Company or the "Violation Reporting Form" in this website.

All units should plan an escape plan with your family in case of fire.
