SCHOA continues operations with limits in Sun City

Enforcement of CC&Rs remains in effect

Posted

The March 30 “stay at home” order from Gov. Doug Ducey, which took effect March 31, should give residents plenty of time to correct any covenants, conditions and restrictions violations.

The Sun City Home Owners Association remains vigilant to keep the community looking well, even during the coronavirus situation, according to Jim Hunter, SCHOA board president. No walk-in traffic is allowed at the SCHOA office, 10401 W. Coggins Drive, but a limited staff is on hand to take care of as much business as possible, he stated in an emal.

“SCHOA continues to operate, albeit with a reduced in-house staff,” Mr. Hunter stated.

The three staff members are answering phones and taking care of processing complaints and requests for action as it relates to CC&R compliance. SCHOA compliance officers and some other staff members are working from home, according to Mr. Hunter.

“But when a complaint is received, they are doing a drive-by to verify the complaint,” Mr. Hunter explained.

There is no personal contact with the homeowners at this time, he added. Homeowners who have a violation are notified by U.S. Mail of the complaint and asked to remedy any violations within a specified period.

With real estate agencies continuing to sell homes, SCHOA officials are still working with title companies and providing requested information, according to Mr. Hunter.

While the SCHOA board and committees are not meeting, board members are remaining in contact by telephone or email. Mr. Hunter said they do weekly assessments each Monday.

“SCHOA continues to monitor on a daily basis the recommendations of the state and federal agencies, and we are taking every precaution possible to insure the health and well-being of our employees and volunteers,” Mr. Hunter stated.

The SCHOA newsletter will come out as usual, but will only be available online in April. Email blasts will continue from the marketing department.

SCHOA officials also continue their community advocacy efforts, although they are limited, according to Mr. Hunter. However, the appeal of the wastewater consolidation is moving forward.

“We continue to feel our case is strong and that we have a good chance to have the Arizona Supreme Court hear the case,” Mr. Hunter stated. “I understand some amicus briefs are being filed on this matter at this time.”
