North Ridge Place Homeowners Association Inc

What North Ridge Place Homeowners Association Inc's governing documents say

This is a stormwater maintenance covenant and protection easement for North Ridge Place, a 22-lot single-family residential subdivision in Raleigh, NC. It is not a full HOA rulebook; it binds the developer and, after transfer, the homeowners' association (North Ridge Place Homeowners Association, Inc.) to maintain stormwater control facilities in perpetuity. If you're a homeowner here, this document means you'll be part of the association and may pay assessments for stormwater maintenance.

• What this document covers: This is a maintenance covenant required by the City of Raleigh, not a full set of HOA rules. It obligates the responsible party (initially the developer, later the homeowners' association) to maintain stormwater control facilities (pipes, inlets, level spreaders, filter strips) according to an approved manual and budget.
• Mandatory HOA membership & assessments: If the association is responsible for stormwater maintenance, membership is mandatory for every lot owner, and the association can levy assessments for those costs. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the lot.
• Maintenance obligations: The responsible party must inspect stormwater facilities annually (or after significant rain events), keep them in working order, and perform repairs as needed. The manual specifies quarterly, semi-annual, and annual tasks like clearing debris, checking pipes, and reseeding filter strips.
• Insurance requirement: The responsible party must carry liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 for the stormwater control facilities.
• City enforcement & penalties: The City of Raleigh has the right to inspect, maintain, and repair the facilities if they're not properly maintained, and can charge the costs back to lot owners. Failure to maintain can result in daily civil penalties and other enforcement actions.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not cover typical HOA rules like architectural review, pets, parking, leasing, or other community restrictions. Those would be in a separate declaration or bylaws.
