Repair, Maintenance & Replacement

The SSV Declaration divides the maintenance, repair, and replacement responsibilities between the Owners and the HOA. Usually these types of projects are handled by outside contractors hired by the responsible party, which then involves numerous issues including insurance coverage of the contractors, county permits and code compliance, parking and/or debris removal. These Guidelines are intended to (i) clarify the responsibilities for maintenance, repair, and replacement, (ii) ensure that both the Owners’ and the HOA’s interests are protected during these projects, and (iii) create a history of projects and changes to SSV homes.

 

Special Note To Current & Future Homeowners Interested In Doing Any Remodeling or Restoration:  Please review the Request Process for Owner Maintenance, Repair and Replacement in the drop down below PRIOR to retaining a contractor to assure they can accomodate the insurance and other requirements.

In the case of project denial, you may request a discussion with the full Board.
  • A Project Request Checklist will be maintained by the SSV Project Manager during the course of the project. For interior-only projects, only debris removal, parking and dates will need to be addressed. The Board will maintain a file of all project Checklists for future reference.
  • Send (i) a copy of the contractor’s required liability insurance, workers compensation, and Form W-9, and (ii) the project’s projected start and end dates to the SSV Project Manager for review and approval. The Owner must deliver to their contractors a copy of the SSV Contractor’s Guidelines, which are available on the SSV HOA Website.
  • After project approval, notify the SSV Project Manager in advance of the confirmed start date and request any needed parking reservations.
