Homeowner

Facebook Group

A homeowner has created a Facebook group for Strathmore Court residents. This is a private group and only members can see what is posted! https://www.facebook.com/groups/strathmorecourtresidents

Note: This group has no direct affiliation with the Board or Management Company and is solely run by a fellow homeowner.

Common Charge Payment

Residents have inquired about paying common charges online. Most banks offer online bill payment. They will debit your account automatically and mail a check to The Management Co. If you have them set up automatic payments, please advise your bank that the due date is the 1st of each month, with a grace period of the 15th. Please check with your bank to see what fees, if any, apply.

Selling Your Home

There are a number of homes for sale in the community. Before selling your home, you must obtain a closing statement from the Association by following the Sale of Home Procedure and submitting related documents. All requests must be submitted at least 30 days prior to closing. Please fill out and submit the Procedure to Sell form here.

Vacated Homes

The Board is aware that we have a few homes that have been vacated or abandoned. Vacant homes can cause a number of hazards, including fire, water and pest damage. If you know of a vacant home please notify The Management Company by sending an email to themgtco@aol.com or calling (631) 363-5500.

The Board needs to know where any vacated or abandoned home is located so that appropriate steps can be taken.

Sprinkler System

What should I do if I notice issues with my sprinkler system? (leak, dead grass, broken heads, etc.) Community members can submit a work order request to The Management Company through the Work Order Form found here.

Dumpsters and Storage Containers

Are residents allowed to have a dumpster/storage container on their driveway during a renovation? Yes, they are allowed. They must be placed on a wood pallet or similar surface to protect the driveway.

Central A/C Unit Relocation

Do I need approval to relocate my central A/C unit? Yes, any exterior changes require board approval. Ensure the new location is on your property and not on common ground, and check for sprinkler heads.

Drones

Does the HOA have a policy regarding drones? Currently, Suffolk County does not have laws preventing drones from flying over private property. The FAA controls airspace, and Brookhaven has no specific drone laws. The HOA cannot regulate airspace and is subject to town and county laws.

Rodent and Pest Control

Is there a rodent control program in the community? Due to the size of our community, implementing a rodent control program is not feasible. Homeowners are urged to use common sense, such as not placing trash at the curb before pickup, to reduce the chance of attracting rodents. The Town of Brookhaven prohibits the feeding of wildlife, which can also attract rodents. At this time, there is no plan in place to deal with moles, which are common pests in the area. Homeowners should monitor the situation and report any significant issues to the Board.

Common Grounds

No play structures, hammocks, patio furniture, etc. can be put on the Common Grounds of Strathmore Court Drive. Common Grounds are anything outside of property lines, failure to comply can result in fines to residents.

Attention Pet Owners

You must clean up after all of your pets. Do not use storm drains, the clubhouse dumpsters or the common grounds of our community for your pet's waste. It is your responsibility to care for your pets.

Town law requires that dogs be on a leash at all times.
