General Management

Relying solely on paper checks for payment is outdated and problematic. Electronic payment methods, such as ACH, debit or credit cards, offer greater security and efficiency, avoiding the risks of lost payments, security breaches, human error, processing delays, late fees and the administrative burden of handling physical checks.

To avoid ignored requests and excessive follow-ups, residents require a clear repair request process, transparent work order tracking, and consistent communication from management.

To comply with New Jersey law, the Association must obtain and prominently display the DCA's Certificate of Registration and Certificate of Inspection in a conspicuous location on premises.  The Board is responsible for fulfilling this legal requirement, and needs to find a more durable and professional method of display than double-sided tape, which has proven ineffective on cinder block.

What is preventing the launch of westridgemews.com? A community website is essential for effective communication. Owners should have easy online access to Board meeting schedules, minutes, Governing Documents, newsletters, important dates, and other vital information. The website also allows for efficient announcements and updates without the costs of traditional mail.   Some Association websites even offer online payment options and submission of the repair work orders.
