SMOKE DETECTORS: In addition to annual battery replacement, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends replacing smoke/CO2 alarms every 10 years since the internal sensors weaken and become less effective.

SPOTTED LANTERNFLIES: Upon advice from professionals, potential treatments would (unfortunately) be cost prohibitive and unsuccessful for the Association to maintain. (Visit ansp.org for scientific info)

Tree Issues

In Pennsylvania insurance coverage is handled by the property owner where the tree lands regardless of who owns it. The Association does not have responsibility to trim or prune trees. Any branch growing over a property line into a homeowner's property may be addressed by the homeowner so much as they do not damage the health of the tree (a branch is fine but cannot cut down a tree). The Association will address trees that we have concern for the health of tree and risk of falling. Simply because a tree is tall or blows in the wind does not necessarily imply the need to take down. If you have a specific tree with immediate concerns, please let us know and we will have it evaluated.
