Brook Forest Townhome Association Inc

What Brook Forest Townhome Association Inc's governing documents say

This is a maintenance covenant and easement document for Brook Forest Townhome Association, a townhome community in Raleigh, NC. It is not the community's full rulebook; it specifically governs the stormwater control facilities (a wet detention pond) and grants the City of Raleigh rights to inspect, maintain, and assess for those facilities. It binds the association and all lot owners, and is relevant to anyone living in or buying a home in this community.

• Stormwater maintenance responsibility: The association is responsible for maintaining the stormwater control facilities (a wet detention pond and related drainage) in good working order, per the Stormwater Operations and Maintenance Manual and Budget. If the association fails, the City of Raleigh may step in and assess costs to the lots.
• City access and enforcement: The City of Raleigh has permanent easements to enter the property to inspect and maintain the stormwater facilities. The City can also seek specific performance and, if not reimbursed, can levy assessments against lots after notice.
• Reserve fund for stormwater repairs: The document includes a suggested reserve fund schedule of $10,115 per year (based on a $202,300 initial cost over 20 years) to cover major repairs or replacement of the stormwater facility. The association is urged to maintain such a fund to avoid future assessments.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is not the community's full declaration or rules. It does not cover typical HOA rules like pets, leasing, architectural review, or parking. Those are in the separate Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions referenced but not included here.
