As part of our common area treatment contract, our new pest company, Owl Pest Prevention, has offered complimentary treatment for up to seven units per month on a first-come, first-served basis. Contact AMV to set up an appointment, if needed.  

Unit owners are responsible for any separate and/or additional treatments, and for maintaining their units in such a way that does not invite pest activity. This includes, but is not limited to, sealing off probable entry points inside their units (gaps around doors, pipes, baseboards, etc.) and keeping food, water, and refuse in containers that are inaccessible to potential rodents or pests.

Unless otherwise indicated, board meetings are being held virtually on the 4th Monday of each month at
7:00 pm.  Please submit a link request and any related questions via email by 12 pm on the day of the meeting.

Trash is picked up Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Please bag and secure household refuse before placing inside the dumpsters, and try to deposit it near the back part to fit in more trash. Bulk-pickup is on Wednesday.  Please wait until later Tuesday evening or early Wednesday morning to put out furniture/bulk items (NO APPLIANCES, RENOVATION/CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS, OR HAZARDOUS MATERIALS), and do not block access to the dumpsters or recycling bins. Regular pickup cannot occur if the dumpsters or recycling bins are inaccessible.

Dumpsters and recycling bins are for residential use only. Contractors must appropriately remove their own trash and debris when renovating or repairing units. Dumpsters, recycling bins, and bulk pickup MAY NOT be used for renovation/construction-type refuse, electronics, or appliances. 

Arbors has single-stream recycling. That means that you don't have to separate accepted recycling items. Just put them all in the bins, preferably loose, or in paper bags only. Please do not put recycling items in plastic bags. Please do not throw regular trash in the recycling bins! Recycling bins located by the mailboxes are only for junk mail. Arlington County can fine us if the wrong items are placed in the recycling bins. Click on these links to see what and how to recycle, and what to throw away:

Arlington also has two designated recycling drop-off locations — at Quincy Park (N. Quincy Street and Washington Blvd) or the Arlington Trades Center (2700 S. Taylor Street).
​
Corrugated cardboard, which is the kind of cardboard that has layers to it--like moving boxes, and boxes that are sturdy, must be BROKEN DOWN FLAT. Usually, there's enough room to slide them in between the bins, once they are broken down. Better yet, cut them up to put in recycling bins, so they don't blow around the parking lots.

If you want to give items away, a Goodwill is conveniently located across the street on Glebe Rd. There are also organizations that pick up donated items.  Please avoid leaving usable items by the dumpsters to help reduce landfill waste.  http://www.charitychoices.com/whoaccepts.a

Move-In/Move-Out Fee
Per Amendment to section 2, effective January 1, 2021:

A nonrefundable move-in/move-out fee of $200 is levied by AOA on all persons moving into the community. This fee is due from the unit owner upon signing a rental lease or upon settlement of the resale of a unit. This fee is intended to defray costs the Association assumes during resident turnover periods, such as administrative costs, and increased wear and tear on the common elements.

Email Notices
There are two ways to sign up for email notices. Owners and other residents can sign up for periodic notices via the Mailing List subscribe box and button found on our homepage:  arborsofarlington.com

Unit owners only may also sign up for notices from our property management company, AMV, using information provided on monthly mailed statements. Landlords/owner agents are responsible to inform their tenants with any relevant information. Please contact AMV for further information on this process.

Please note that on occasion certain notices may be sent by regular or certified US MAIL.

Permission is required to replace windows at the Arbors to avoid some of the common installation pitfalls and to ensure quality of materials, as well as aesthetic conformity. Following is some information about procedures to follow with the Association and technical details to pass on to your contractor. Please note that construction work, hammering, or other noise-producing activities are limited to the hours of 9am-9pm.

Permission is also required when making structural changes to a unit, and/or where common area elements (pipes, walls, etc.) and/or limited common elements may be involved.  Doors and door hardware must conform to accepted standard for resident unit doors (matched door and paint; and similar gold/brass color and type of lock/doorknob/door knocker/peephole for exterior side.)

​Please refer to the governing documents and inquire with management for more information before beginning the planning process.
