During spring and summer, climbers, weeds and tree branches are more apt to encroach upon the mailbox stands.
The mailbox stands were constructed prior to March 1993. Therefore, regular upkeep by the mailbox stand’s mailbox owners is very important to preserve the stands. It is the responsibility of each stand’s mailbox owners to remove plants from around the base, behind the stand and to remove any branches that overhang or encroach on the stand to allow for air flow. Keeping your mailbox stand clear of vegetation will help preserve the life of the stand. Overdale HOA is not responsible for the structural upkeep, painting or any maintenance of the mailbox stands. If your mailbox stand needs any structural maintenance, this responsibility falls upon the owners of the stand’s mailbox owners. If your mailbox stand is ‘tagged’ by spray paint, we encourage you to paint over the tagging.
Overdale HOA also does not have any responsibility for postings on the mailbox stands. If you are bothered by postings on your mailbox stand, removing the postings is at the discretion of the mailbox owners on your stand.
On a daily basis, collect papers, telephone books and any other literature that may be left in the newspaper slots to cut down on litter. Issaquah Police recommend that any papers be collected daily to thwart criminals who may be watching for signs of residents on vacation. You can place a ‘hold’ on your mail at usps.com as well as with your newspapers while on vacation.
Thank you for your cooperation to keep Overdale clean and safe.
