You can contact 311 to report abandoned vehicles, repairs needed to the main roads, excessive litter, illegal dumping, etc. Keep in mind, illegal dumping on the trails and in the specific courts is private property and you must put a request in the owners' portal.

If you notice illegal dumping or excessive litter in the townhouse court of Quiet Brook Lane, you should put a request in Buildium (owners' portal) to have the issue addressed.

In Maryland, Homeowners’ Associations (HOAs) are regulated by the Maryland Homeowners Association Act found in Title 11b of the Maryland Code. This act applies to residential developments with common areas run by members. However, it does not apply to condominiums, cooperative housing corporations, or any development that is not for residential purposes. HOAs in Maryland must be set up as corporations, most choose to be nonprofit, and must follow State Nonprofit Law. There is also the Homeowners Association Act that provides more specific regulations regarding the management of HOAs.
Maryland House Bill 107 mandates community associations to conduct reserve studies and update them every five years, aiming to enhance financial planning and maintenance for common areas.
Key Provisions of the Bill
Reserve Study Requirement: The bill requires cooperative housing corporations, condominiums, and homeowners associations (HOAs) to conduct a reserve study to assess the funds needed for future repairs and replacements of common elements. This study must be updated every five years.
Statewide Applicability: Initially applicable only to Montgomery and Prince George's Counties, the bill expands these requirements statewide, ensuring that all community associations adhere to the same standards.
Funding Requirements: Associations must attain the recommended annual reserve funding level within three fiscal years following the initial study. They are also empowered to increase assessments to meet these funding requirements, overriding any bylaws that may limit such increases.
Public Accessibility: The results of the reserve studies must be made available for inspection by any unit owner, promoting transparency within the community.
The purpose of the Commission on Common Ownership Communities (CCOC) is to ensure the proper establishment and operation of homeowners’ associations, condominium associations and cooperative housing units. Additionally, the Commission is to promote public awareness and association membership understanding of the rights and obligations of living in a common ownership community. This Commission is also responsible for assisting and overseeing the development of coordinated community and government policies, programs and services which support these communities.
The CCOC convenes to discuss issues affecting homeowners’ associations, cooperatives, and condominium associations, including relevant legislation and available community resources.
These monthly virtual meetings are hosted in partnership with Prince George’s County Office of Community Relations (OCR). Advance registration is required.
The Board of Directors are volunteer positions and thus, not always available. This is one of the reasons why a management company may be hired and thus should be contacted for any question or concern you may have in relation to the association and/or its operations and common elements. Please use the Owner's Portal for communication. Correspondence received will be forwarded to the Board as appropriate and may become a part of the owner's file.
