** Safety Notice**

Linden at Fair Ridge, built in 1986, has some core items that must be checked out annually to avoid problems.  If items in your unit, listed below, need to be fixed, please be a conscientious owner and have them inspected and repaired or replaced before they cause serious damage to your unit and/or others around you. 

 

WATER LEAKS ARE CRITICAL 

If you experience a water leak such as excessive moisture, evidence of mold, or any malfunction of heat pumps or AC units IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF THE WATER! Use your main water shut-off, located in your utility closet, or contact your upstairs neighbor, if applicable.  Contact our property manager, Brian Cramp, for help with the situation.  Brian Cramp: 703-565-5304 or b.cramp@cardinalmanagementgroup.com 

 

EVERY 3 YEARS (Next due 2025)

Dryer Vents are required to be professionally cleaned. Documentation must be submitted to management with a Linden Dryer Vent Form. 

Chimneys are required to be professionally inspected (and cleaned if recommended by the inspector).  Documentation must be submitted to management with a Linden Chimney Form. Forms are available on www.lindenatfairridge.org or from our property manager, Brian Cramp.

ANNUALLY

HVAC units should be professionally inspected and components cleaned. Inspections include: 

 

PERIODICALLY

Hot Water Heater should be professionally inspected. 

Appliances and Equipment should be inspected such as the dishwasher, smoke detectors, stove, refrigerator, microwave, along with related hoses and connections, on a regular basis to ensure they are all in proper working condition to prevent any leaks or other incidents which could cause damage to the condominium property.

Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) is used for precise water pressure control. It is located in your utility closet on the main water line just above the main shut off. Original PRVs were made out of plastic and are known to burst. If you do not know if the original PRV has yet been replaced with a copper one, please have it checked by a certified plumber to avoid potential water damage to your and your neighbor’s unit.  

PAST DUE

Electrical Panel: Some of the original panels have begun to fail. This poses a fire hazard. Have yours inspected by a certified electrician. Forms are available on here  or from our property manager, Brian Cramp.
