Thank you, Melrose, for taking the time to fill out the Melrose HOA Questionnaire! The HOA Board of Directors self-assessment survey was completed by 124 homeowners, and the Melrose Trustees appreciate all your responses. Overall highlights from the constructive feedback received include: wise use of financials – 31% approval, past four (4) years HOA rating – 41% approval, HOA transparency – 46% approval, and a call for board member change? – 72% yes/undecided. The neighborhood has spoken and believes that the annual budget is not being properly spent, leading to concerns about transparency and a request for overall Trustee change. Additionally, themes related to capital improvements and the community garage sale were noted. For further details, please refer to the Deed Restriction Handbook during the next Melrose HOA meeting.

what is the deal with the violations?
Beginning in April, PMI Centerline addressed these community concerns by sending out courtesy letters to homeowners who are in violation of a deed restriction. These issues include mailbox deterioration, improper garbage can placement, uncared-for flowerbeds and lawns—which fall under the deed restriction by nuisance as outlined in Pickerington Ordinance 6801—as well as overall upkeep of property and curb appeal. As of June 30th, there are 68 active violations that remain unremedied by homeowners in Melrose & Inverness at Melrose. This initiative aims to bring the standard of beauty in our neighborhoods back to the original intent discussed in the deed restriction handbook. Our board of directors is committed to these efforts as we strive to enhance the community's aesthetics. We all love our neighborhood... Let's show it! Don't forget to join us at the next Melrose HOA meeting or participate in the upcoming community garage sale to further connect with your neighbors and contribute to our community spirit!
So what happens if i receive a violation letter?
The Melrose Board of Directors wants the resolution to be a WIN-WIN and is willing to collaborate with a property owner if a violation exists. Ultimately, it is the HOA's duty to uphold the deed restrictions, reflective of the original developer's intent. If you receive a statement letter regarding your property, the simplest solution is to address the violation. If you believe you are not in violation as per the deed restriction handbook, please reach out to PMI Centerline for clarification. Remember, we are all neighbors striving to create an attractive community, which is why these deed restrictions are in place. Additionally, keep an eye out for details on the upcoming Melrose HOA meeting and our community garage sale, as these events can further enhance our neighborhood spirit.
"ok, I am not going to do anything about it!"
This is also an option. However, if a homeowner chooses not to address the issue and simply discards the notice, future notices (including fines) will be sent in accordance with Resolution 2025-2 and Resolution 2025-6. In the first 20 days, a courtesy letter will be issued. From days 21 to 40, a violation letter will arrive with a $50 fine plus a $10 PMI admin. fee. During days 41 to 60, homeowners can expect another violation letter along with a $100 fine and the same $10 PMI admin. fee. For days 61 to 80, the violation letter will increase to a $200 fine with an additional $10 PMI admin. fee. After day 81, the violation letter will again carry a $200 fine, a $10 PMI admin. fee, and the case may be sent to collections. Following 90 days of unpaid assessments, the HOA Board of Directors will forward the property to Williams & Strohm for collections, incurring a $138 fee that the HOA pays upfront and adds to the homeowner ledger. After 90 days in collections, if there are still unpaid assessments, the HOA Board of Directors may decide to place a lien on the property through the Fairfield County Recorder's Office, which incurs a $250 fee, also paid upfront by the HOA and charged to the homeowner ledger. Once all of these processes are complete and the ledger matures to a minimum of $1000, the HOA Board of Directors may initiate foreclosure on the property to recover the outstanding property debt, as outlined in the deed restriction handbook. For additional community events like the community garage sale or updates discussed during the Melrose HOA meeting, homeowners are encouraged to stay informed.
