Useful Information
Click on the topics to see what's inside... Visitor Parking
Visitor-Only parking spaces are designed for short-term guests and drop-offs. Residents should not park in visitor spots except for brief drop-off or loading/unloading. Shared sewer lines
Units in each building share a single sewer lateral to the County sewer line. Water from sinks, bathtubs, washing machines or toilets exits the building through the single sewer lateral. Do not pour grease, fats, oils or food items like pasta or rice down the kitchen sink drain/disposal. These congeal and cause other items to get stuck creating blockages that require professional help and, over time, add to the HOA maintenance costs. If you experience a backup, immediately contact your plumber of preference and alert neighbors of the blockage and ask them to use as little water as possible until the line is cleared. no gas or wood outdoor firepits
No gas or Wood Fired Fireplaces are permitted anywhere in Fairlington Arbor including, but not limited to, inside a FamilyUnit or on the exterior of a Family Unit, patio or porch (This has been a long standing policy). personal items in the common area

Large bulky items are picked up on the first Saturday of the month. Lawn treatments
The Arbor contracts with a landscaping company to mow and treat our lawns. Arbor management sends Arbor Alert e-mails to residents in advance of any lawn treatment. Forty eight hours before a treatment application, the Arbor's landscaping company also posts signs in each court alerting residents to lawn applications.

Proposed and Ongoing Projects
Sewer & Parking Lot Project – Court 6 and 8: The Board of Directors approved Pro-Pave to redo the parking lots in Court 6 and 8. The project is scheduled for late July/early August –weather permitting. NoVa Lining is also scheduled to work on the sanitary clean-outs before Pro-Pave begins the asphalt project. Fence Replacement is several years out. In the meantime Management is collecting data on fence repair prior to the replacement. Roof Replacement: in Court 4. Notice will be given several weeks in advance. Stoop Repairs: This year the Board plans to rebuild as many stoops as possible, depending their condition when the bricks are removed. There are 11 on the high priority list. B Building Cleaning: Instead of using our staff, beginning in April, Clean Advantage will clean the interior common area in all 21 B-Buildings once a month. 
The Landscape Committee, with the approval of the Board of Directors, has developed a set of Community Standards which comprise most of the Arbor's landscaping concerns, for example: grass, tree and shrub standards, herbicide and pesticide use and their alternatives, visual standards (aesthetics), and even mosquito control. Before its approval, the Board would like to reach out to the community for their feedback. To that end, the Board has created a poll to be taken which is found in the Landscape Committee page. Please go there, study the Standards and let us know. 
After-hours Emergencies
Some after-hours emergency charges can be avoided. Do you know where the main water shut-off valve for your unit is located? Do you know where your Electrical Breaker is located? Can you locate the building clean-out for a sewer backup? Call 911 if there is a fire. Call 911 if you see suspicious activity. Contact the Management office if you need assistance locating your main water shut-off valve or electrical breaker. 
Important News...
Request for Contact Information from All Residents, Especially Renters: For monthly communications and emergencies such as water shut-offs and power outages, we are working to compile a comprehensive list of all residents' email addresses and cell phone numbers, including owners and renters. While owners are recorded and tracked within the NRP/Vantaca portal, residents who rent/lease their units are outside that system. Please get the word out to residents who rent that they should contact on-site management and share their contact information. Our information is not shared with anyone.
