Neighborhood Community Updates
PLEASE BE MINDFUL OF CHILDREN RUNNING AROUND BELMAR AND 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! It is still happening. Please be diligent about locking your doors. It has happened to many shareholders. Thieves are checking car doors at night and daytime 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 or any Board Member. You can also call Lotus Real Estate to report it.
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 (412) 255-2036 and to Lotus Real Estate Company or the "Violation Reporting Form" in this website or to your assigned Board Member.
