Important Belmar Garden Updates



Belmar 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.

​
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 announcements. Please see the site here: https://www.pgh2o.com/projectsmaintenance/search-all-projects/2020- water-main-replacement-homewood, lincoln-lemington
Please direct any issues 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. Please check with the water company if you need more instruction.

Neighborhood Community Updates

SLOW DOWN WHEN DRIVING THROUGH BELMAR!  Children play throughout Belmar gardens. Please be mindful of that. Please encourage your friends and family of this also. It is your community and we must keep it and our children safe.

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 exposure is 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! Thieves are 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 Representative. You can also call Rubinoff and report it to Alex Speck.

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.
