Thank you for selecting 1800 JPA as your new home! We hope that the information provided here will be helpful as you enjoy the community. Any questions you may have about this website will be sent to the Association board by using the Contact Us link. Individual board members may be contacted through their email addresses listed in the directory. Property management can be contacted by reaching out directly to EJF. You have chosen to purchase/live in a Condominium Community and therefore, must follow the Rules and Regulations of the Association. These can be found in the EJF Vantaca portal and on this website. Policies are subject to change at any time at the direction of the Board. Policies and Regulations are made for your protection, to assist you in avoiding charges and penalties, and to make your property attractive, comfortable and safe. PARKING PASSES
All vehicles parked within the parking lot must have a current parking pass displayed in the front windshield - we are transitioning away from the rear windshield - no need to move your current pass if it was installed in the rear. Each August, parking passes are available for $40 and may be purchased onsite at posted times and locations by the Board of Directors or EJF Real Estate Services management team.
A copy of the lease and vehicle registration must be shown in order to purchase a parking pass. Passes are only issued to current residents and owners. Vehicles must have passes attached to the windshield, and guest passes clearly displayed, or you risk being towed. Simply purchasing or requesting a pass does not protect you from this risk, so park elsewhere until the pass is appropriately displayed.
MAIL and PACKAGES Garden units have their USPS mailboxes in the breezeways and High Rise unit mailboxes are in the mailroom off the rear lobby. Landlords, private managers and EJF have the access code for the mailroom door. Each owner is responsible for the keys and lock to their individual box. Should an issue with your lock arise, please contact a locksmith for assistance to replace the lock and keys. Packages may be delivered to your unit door or to the mailroom. DO NOT put the access code in a shipping address line and make sure your unit number is included. UTILITIES Each individual condominium has its own electrical service panel and main shut-off. It is the responsibility of the owner or renter to coordinate service with the electric company for service. The electrical panels in some of the condos at JPA have not been updated, therefore may contain electrical fuses and circuitry unequipped to handle the load of numerous modern appliances with increased electrical demands. If you have not updated your electrical panel, it is highly recommended that you immediately schedule an electrician to review your circuit breaker panel and update accordingly.
Internet and cable lines which serve your condo and/or which are within your condominium are the responsibility of the unit owner. Problems with these lines should be reported to your service provider. All phone and cable wires must be secured along the baseboard or doorjambs and cannot cross thresholds, traffic areas, hallways or any common area on the property. Please contact your property manager should you have any questions about this matter. SATELLITE DISHES Under certain restrictions, the installation of an individual satellite dish, of 18” in diameter or less, or a traditional stick-type antenna within a owner’s/resident’s premises is permitted. The following conditions and restrictions will apply: Dishes may not be installed on any common area including walls, outside window sills, roofs, common area balconies or stairwells, lawns, or any other common area. Under no circumstances can the device extend beyond the balcony railing, patio line, or fence. No holes may be drilled through the outside walls, roofs, balcony railings, glass, fences, or any concrete patios. The satellite dish must be a stand-alone system. A resident may not splice into any existing wires or cable. All questions about signal reception, installation and cost of satellite dishes should be directed to the provider of your choice. TRASH DISPOSAL Dumpsters for trash are located at the rear of the high-rise as well in the parking area beside Garden B for your convenience. The dumpsters are emptied Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Please put trash IN the dumpster. Do not place trash or mattresses/furniture outside of the dumpster on the ground. Please do not leave trash bags or other debris outside your condo entrance. If it is necessary for us to remove the trash, your account will be billed for the removal cost. The high-rise is equipped with a trash chute which runs from each floor down to a trash room. It is imperative that trash be placed in CLOSED bags that will fit into the trash chute. If you attempt to shove or squeeze trash into the chute it will back up the entire building’s trash chute and will render the chute useless. Cardboard boxes, whether whole or flattened, and household items may not be placed in the chute. These must be placed in the outside dumpsters. The chute is gravity fed and therefore everything must fall freely to the lowest level. Under no circumstance may anyone enter the base of the trash chute/garbage room. The trash room contains dumpsters which are rolled out on trash pick-up days. COMMON AREA USAGE The area surrounding your condo including lawns, sidewalks, and any other free spaces inside the community are to be enjoyed, with consideration of your neighbors. Personal items left in the common areas will be removed and disposed of, without notice, at the expense of the owner/resident. These areas must be kept free of litter such as cigarettes, trash, bottles, etc. PLUMBING , LEAKS and CONSERVATION Owners are responsible for any leaks resulting from any failure of a fixture or device within the individual condominium unit. The Association is only responsible for the primary water and waste lines which serve all the units. Any plumbing, wires, chutes, ducts, or flues which service a single unit are the responsibility of that unit. Each owner is responsible for the integrity of their plumbing fixtures. Although the Association as a whole pays the monthly Water and Sewer bills, each owner is impacted by any excessive usage. Any savings made within the Association will trickle down to each owner's monthly dues being affected in a positive manner. It is apparent that due to antiquated fixtures, leaky faucets, and running toilets, the water consumption is higher than expected for the size of community. Most owners do not realize that one toilet that has a failing flapper and continues to run slightly will use 100,000 gallons of water in a month. Every owner should make an effort to immediately stop any running toilet, sink or tub faucet. WATER SHUT OFFS IN HIGH-RISE Due to the nature of the community, the plumbing of each unit is tied to other units and therefore there are times in which you will be notified that the water service may be turned off during an adjacent unit's remodeling or repairs to plumbing fixtures. PLEASE NOTE: The Board of Directors voted on Resolution #2 on April 25, 2013, to impose Mandatory Shut-Off Valve Installation in any condominium which requests the water service to be interrupted within the high-rise in order to conduct any plumbing repairs or upgrades. Additionally, every unit gets one free water shut off and any unit which fails to install shut-off valves at that time will be charged $200 for any subsequent request for the interruption to water service. The fee runs with the Unit and not the Owner, therefore, upon sale of the unit, a new owner may become liable for future request of water interruptions. Shut-Off valves should be installed in areas such as but not limited to: sink locations, hot water heater, ice maker, any water line providing water to a tub/shower, clothes washer. To request a water shut off, please contact EJF Real Estate Services management team. LAUNDRY ROOMS
Located in the lowest level of the high-rise and in Garden B.
MOVING IN/OUT
All moving of furniture in the high-rise must be done through the rear entrance. When moving in/out, please be sure to use a hand-truck or similar moving equipment with pneumatic tires only. These tires are much softer than the hard rubber tires used on dollies or grocery carts. Due to the newness of the resurfaced walkways, any other type of equipment may permanently damage the surface. Owners will be responsible for any damages.
HALLWAYS/STAIRWELLS/PATIOS
Hallways, stairwells and patios are to be kept clear of trash and clutter at all times. Hanging items from the walkway railings is also not permitted. Bicycles must be stored in your condo or in the bike rack located on the property. Per the governing documents of the condominium association, each owner is responsible for keeping the patios clean and any drains free from debris. It is critical that the patio drains on the ground level be kept clear and functioning properly in order to drain any rain water which may collect.
SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS
For the safety and well-being of the residents, cameras are posted at strategic areas on the property.
PETS
There are three doggie stations with waste bags and receptacles at the front, side and rear of the property. Please be considerate and clean up after your pet.
The maintenance, keeping, boarding or raising of animals, livestock, poultry or reptiles of any kind, regardless of number, is prohibited within any Unit or upon the Common Elements, except that the keeping of ordinary domestic pets (e.g., dogs, cats or caged birds) not to exceed one per Unit without the approval of the Board of Directors. For further information on the rules governing pets at 1800 JPA, please refer to Article 5.8 of the Bylaws.
RESALE DISCLOSURE PACKAGES
If selling your condominium, Virginia law requires the seller to provide the purchaser with a current resale disclosure package. To order the VA Resale Certificate please contact EJF Real Estate Services management team.
