Important Belmar Garden UpdatesBelmar Gardens now has 2 new board members. Welcome to Stephanie Hampton and Tyi-Sanna Jones for joining the Board of Belmar Gardens and contributing to the community. Thank you to Carolyn Hill for her dedicated service and contribution for many years in the community. We also thank Magistrate Kevin Cooper, Jr. for his service and contribution to the community. The next Annual Shareholders' Meeting day is to be determined, but will be held in December 2023. Meetings are held from 10 am to 12 noon. Due to Covid 19, our meeting will be held through Zoom online. Once the date is determined, you will receive instructions on how to join the meeting. Many shareholders have asked why the meetings are in December most times and on Saturdays. The meetings are always on Saturdays because that is when most people are off and they are held in November or December because our fiscal year ends October 31st. Please be aware that the street belongs to the City of Pittsburgh and we have No Control over who can park there. We are asking that neighbors be courteous and mindful of the shareholders who have no driveways and need to park on the street. In regards to the handicap markings in front of homes, they were requested from the City of Pittsburgh and placed there by the City of Pittsburgh. Carrying charges are subject to change if necessary. Winter season began December 21, 2022. Please remember, we have a lot of deer in Belmar so for your safety, please slow down and be on the lookout for them as you drive. 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. Belmar’s annual furnace checks, change of batteries in smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors are now completed. We will be continuing a contract with with Peak Landscaping (formerly Bonomi). Please report any problems to our Management Company, your board member representative or on our website. We can't correct problems if they are not being reported! Please do not block the areas of snow removal so the plows cannot clear the snow. _____ Flu Season is upon us. Remember Covid-19 is still around. Please be safe and check on your neighbors if possible. 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. 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. RECYCLE TRASH CANS Recently, the City of Pittsburgh delivered recycling cans to your home for your use. Please move and store your recycling can at the rear of your home, along with your other trash cans. All trash and recycling cans must be kept at the rear of your home. Fines will occur for any trash and recycling cans left in the front of your house after garbage day. If you are unable to physically move your trash to and from the back of your home, you may be able to apply for a medical exemption through the City of Pittsburgh, to have the refuse workers pick up your trash from the back of your home. To do this, call the City of Pittsburgh’s hotline, by dialing 311. Ask for a medical exemption form to be mailed to you along with instructions on completing the form. As of 2023, the City of Pittsburgh will fine residents who don't put their recycle items in the recycle cans. Recycle cans will be picked up every other week. You can get a copy of the schedule on line at https://pittsburghpa.gov/dpw/collection-schedule to print the schedule for the Central and Eastern Side or by calling 412-255-2773 or 412-255-2631.
