A Community Association is a legal nonprofit corporation. 1200 Riverside Drive Community Association is organized and incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada (NRS 116). The Articles of Incorporation entitle it to exercise powers of corporation. All Owners are automatically members of the Association and must comply with the Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs); the Bylaws; the Rules & Regulations; and the Policies of the Association.
Where can I find the CC&Rs, Bylaws, Rules & Regulations, and Policies?
Owners should have received a copy of the CC&Rs from their title company at the time of purchase. Copies of these documents may also be viewed or downloaded from the website in the Documents section under Governing Documents.
What are the benefits of living in a Community Association?
Community Associations collect assessments from the owners to fund common area maintenance and improvements, management and administrative costs, and community enrichment activities. At 1200 Riverside, the common area includes gardens and landscaping, the swimming pool, and the Clubhouse. Assessment fees fund garbage collection, water, 24-hour security, and some of the cost for heating and cooling. Management and administrative costs include managing the community's financial and legal affairs, collecting assessments, and enforcing the community's rules through site inspections and notices. Community enrichment activities include parties and other social events, this website, and welcome packets for new owners.
Who handles maintenance for my Unit?
Owners are responsible to maintain their own Units, including any "limited common element." Limited common elements may lie outside of the Unit boundary but if they serve only the Unit, the Unit Owner is responsible to repair, replace, or maintain them. Examples of limited common elements are the HVAC equipment and pipes that serve only the Unit, windows, and the balcony attached to each Unit.
It is important for Owners and prospective buyers to understand which maintenance responsibilities belong to the Association and which to the Unit Owners by understanding the CC&Rs.
Do the assessments pay for insurance coverage?
The Association carries a variety of insurance policies to cover property, the Board of Directors, employees working within the scope of their employment, and volunteers working within the scope of their duties. The Association does not carry a policy to cover risks and losses growing out of individual ownership and occupancy of the premises. Property owners at 1200 Riverside must take out and maintain insurance policies in accordance with the CC&Rs. Renters are advised to carry renters insurance.
I want to remodel my unit. What should I do first?
Owners should familiarize themselves with the Governing Documents and ARC and Maintenance Request forms before scheduling work in their Units.
What is ARC?
ARC (Architectural Review Committee) is the body authorized by the Board of Directors to review requests for improvements to the Units in the Association. ARC recommends approval, approval with modifications, or denial of ARC requests to the Board. The Board's decision is final.
Why must I get ARC approval?
Plumbing and HVAC components and controls in your Unit can affect the building systems. Flooring changes may impact the sound barrier between Units. Window replacements may affect how our buildings appear from the outside. Conferring with ARC prior to starting work will ensure that your remodel is in harmony with the building aesthetics and systems.
Some work may require that buildings systems be shut down while your contractor or you are working. It will be important for you to arrange water shut offs with a qualified plumber in advance (see the Maintenance Request form) so that everyone, including your neighbors impacted by the work, has sufficient notice.
Construction hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday with the property closed for construction on Sundays and national and state holidays.
I'm ready to move. What should I know to get ready for moving day?
Movers and contractors must put up elevator pads to be installed prior to using the elevators for large objects. Movers and contractors may need to put down cardboard or other floor protection for the hallways and the elevators to prevent damage to the common areas. Damage to the common areas is chargeable back to the owner.
What should I know if I want to rent out my unit?
Owners must provide the Community Manager a copy of any long-term rental contract, identifying the tenants and assigning the tenants the Owner's rights to use Common amenities (pool, clubhouse). Short-term rentals are not allowed under the CC&Rs.
Where do I and my visitors park?
Every unit has at least one parking space in one of the garages. Spaces are deeded to owners so buyers and sellers should ensure that their deeds include a description of the parking space(s) being conveyed. Owners who buy, sell, or trade parking spaces must record those transactions and provide a copy to the Community Manager. Owners may rent out parking spaces to other residents and provide rental information to the Community Manager.
Owners are responsible for moving vehicles when required for maintenance needs, and for ensuring their space(s) are kept in accordance with the Rules & Regulations, including spaces rented to other Owners. Spaces may not be rented out to non-Owners.
Outside parking is limited and is, therefore, reserved for contractors and visitors. Contractors may not leave their vehicles parked overnight. Guests should check in with security and must obtain a parking pass if they are staying overnight.
Residents may not park on property, except inside the garages in any parking space deeded to the unit or rented by a unit Owner. Some parking may be available on Jones Street.
