I want to thank all our residents for helping with the Pre Re-Act inspection. Most of you got your unit ready and made the inspection easier. Be advised that we are working to make our community a safe and clean environment (a good place to live). FWBHA needs your cooperation in several areas.

  • If you notice you have roaches in your unit you are going to need to clean your unit. Do not leave food out, and pick up all the dead roaches. Call us to let us know you have an issue and in some cases, we are going to need to schedule several treatments of pest control.
  • Do not use as storage: Oven, A/C closet, Water heater closet or laundry area.
  • When you call for a work order, specify location and give details.
  • Always keep your unit clean.
  • Keep your Recycle and Garbage bin clean and free of odor.
  • Do not block any windows/doors, this is for your own safety.
  • Remember to pick up after animals and all dogs must be on a leash while outside. There will be a charge if you do not.
  • We are still having problems with parking! Let your visitor know they need to park in a visitor's space ONLY. DO NOT PARK BEHIND ANY OTHER CARS, DUMPSTER , ON THE CURB OR ON THE GRASS! Violators could be towed at owners' expense and tenants could be charged for their guest!

We are Going to post a 48 Hours' Notice if your unit need any repairs (Re-Act Inspection Result).

Public Housing properties are all smoke free and all residents, guests, visitors, service personnel should honor that policy. (Tenants are still smoking in the units) No smoking means inside of your unit, outside or in the car. You will be charged, and it could result in termination.

All residents are responsible for the upkeep and housekeeping standards of their home. (Be sure to keep front and back of your unit clean) (Kids pool: empty the water every day and put it away if you not using the pool).

  • We will be starting Inspections back up in August 2020
  • We will be scheduling appointments in the office for emergency situations starting in August

If you have any question about the Housekeeping standards refer to your lease.

If you need a copy of your lease contact Maria Fernandez

Not accept inside of the unit: Lighter fluid, propane tanks and small grills.
