Important Belmar Garden UpdatesThe Board Members of Belmar Gardens have received letters regarding parking. The letters ask that we address the parking issues in the front, not only the back. Please be aware that the street belongs to the City of Pittsburgh and we have No Control over who can park there. In regards to the handicap plaques in front of homes, they were requested from the City of Pittsburgh and placed there by the City of Pittsburgh.

Thank you all for keeping our community colorful with all the different plants and flowers. Remember, we have a lot of deer in Belmar so you may want to plant something to keep them from eating your flowers. We will be continuing a contract with with Peak Landscaping (formerly Bonomi). Please report any problems with landscaping to our Management Company, your board member representative or on our website. We can't correct problems if they are not being reported!

Allegheny County Health Department officials urge the public to protect themselves from mosquitoes by getting rid of standing water in yards and neighborhoods, making sure that open windows and doors have screens, using insect repellent on exposed skin and minimizing time spent outdoors, especially at dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active. Complaints regarding properties with stagnant water in tires or other water-holding containers can be reported to the Health Department by calling 412-350-4046 and reported to our Management Company. _____ Because of Covid-19, when walking through Belmar Gardens, please remember to wear masks, practice 6 feet social distancing, wash your hands constantly.

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.
