Summer is ending and Autumn is beginning

Hey neighbors!  We wanted to provide an update of what is

going on within the community.

We hope everyone enjoyed their summer but with that coming

to an end it also means schools will be starting.  PLEASE be

aware of the kids and bus stops within the community.  Drive

slowly and make the roads safe for the young ones.  Also, make

sure your sidewalks are clear and debris or hazards so the kids

and other residents may enjoy them.

Residents are reminded that junk, debris, carboard, hardware,

lumber, bags of trash MUST be placed in the rea of the property.

Fairfax County states any debris "must be put in the rear of the

property.  They also must be screened from view from the first

story of nearby homes".

A friendly reminder about keeping our community clean and

pretty.  Barristers Place is a nice sought after community to live

in and we want to keep it that way.  Below are a couple ways

to keep Barristers bright and beautiful.  

Yard – Please keep your yard well maintained and cut.  It’s

against County regulations to have grass at a height of 12 inches

or more per Fairfax County regulations.   A rule of thumb is to

have your grass cut once it reaches 3 inches. 

Tree & Bush Trimming – It is encouraged that residents routinely

maintain and trim bushes and trees.

Exterior – Broken windows, falling gutters and missing siding are

common issues to the exterior.  Residents should conduct periodic

reviews of the exterior to prevent these issues.  Power/soft

washing is a nice service to use every couple of years in order

to clean the exterior. 

Sidewalks – Residents should keep sidewalks in front and in

back of their properties clear and clean of debris, so residents

can enjoy the sidewalks for walking, running and biking. 

Junk or Debris – Residents are asked to keep debris and junk

out of the front yard.  Fairfax County states that any debris “must

be put in the rear of the property.  They also must be screened from

view from the first-story window of nearby homes”. 

Trash – Trash cans should not be placed out on curb prior to 4pm the

day before pick-up.  If trash is left at the curb for more than 10 days,

call the Health Department at 703-246-2300, TTY 711.

For more information, call the Department of Code Compliance,

703-324-1300, TTY 711.  Or go to http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/code/property/
