There is a water main leak at the corner of Jasmine & Jonquil.  The contractor has turned off the water and is working on the fix.  
3:00pm 11/16/25 update. The water has been turned back on.  A temporary patch has been put into place. Additional repair work will hopefully take place tomorrow. The water will be turned off again. The management company will continue to send out email updates. 

During the repair work, a Spectrum line was accidentally cut. Spectrum has been notified, it will be fixed tomorrow morning.   11/17/25 update:  the Specrum line has been repaired. 

We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. The management company will continue to send out email updates.  Watch here for updates as well.

Thank you for your patience. 

We're getting ready for the winter season!  

Munoz will continue to come on Wednesdays to mow (as needed), pick up leaves and do any final trimming through November. 

The fountain , the benches and the speed bumps will be removed early November and stored away for the winter.

Because it gets dark so early now, you may place your trash can by the curb no earlier than 5pm on Sunday night, the night before trash pick up.

Munoz will be placing long stakes along the sides of the roads and driveways, ahead of the first snow. 

The fire hydrants have already been marked with long poles for easy identification. 

We did this in October when we flushed and tested the hydrants. 

Snow will be plowed from the roads and driveways when there is 2 inches of accumulation. 

You are responsible for shoveling and de-icing your sidewalk and around your mailbox. Please use caution when walking during icy conditions. 

Report any plow damage asap to NEO Property Services. 

NEO's website and resident portal went live on September 12th. 

You received an email with instructions on how to register on the website. 

This portal gives you the ability to pay online and even set up recurring monthly payments. 

You can also see your payment history and your current balance due. 

If you need help or have any questions about the portal, contact NEO. 

Over the next two months, as weather permits, Munoz will be prepping the property for winter. They will be trimming the bushes back, cleaning up the flower beds and picking up the leaves. 

If the grass is your yard is brown and not very green, watering it daily during this hot, dry weather will make a big difference. Water it in the morning or evening every day for a couple of weeks and you'll notice the color change.  

The Management Company and the Board will be doing their fall grounds walk on Thursday, October 2nd, to assess the property for maintenance and repair needs that should be addressed. 

Contact NEO with any concerns you'd like them to review.

Review your insurance policy and make sure you have a homeowner policy that insures the entire structure of your unit, both inside and out, top to bottom. You do NOT want a condominium policy, as that will only insure the inside of your unit. As a homeowner in Sweet Brier, you own and are responsible for the roof, windows, doors, siding, slab, foundation, garage, interior & exterior walls and even driveway of your unit.  

Please make sure you are insured appropriately. 

If you have any questions, you can contact Kay.
