HOA notice regarding mailboxes.

Following the recent break-in of one of the HOA's mailbox clusterbox units, the HOA Board of Directors offers these suggestions:

1. If you see someone breaking into one of the mailbox units, please call 911 and report it to the police. Please DO NOT CONFRONT the perpetrator. Nothing in the mailbox is worth risking your life over.

2. Promptly retrieve your mail from your box after delivery each day.

3. If you are going to be away, put in a USPS Vacation Hold with the United States Postal Service or have a friend or neighbor retrieve your mail each day you are gone.

4. Do not use the outbound mail slot for anything that is important or of value. It would be best to deposit your outbound mail at a United States Post Office.

5. Sign up for USPS Informed Delivery so you know what mail to expect to be delivered each day.

Mailbox CBU broken into on 8/6/2024

The mailbox cluster box unit (CBU) at the south end of 162ND CT NE was broken into on August 6, 2024.

The HOA is working to file an insurance claim to have the CBU replaced as soon as possible. Once the box is replaced, new mailbox keys will be distributed to HOA members with a tenant mailbox in this CBU.

Current estimate is approximately 5 weeks for the installation of the replacement CBU.

UPDATE 8/15/2024:  The new mailbox shipped from the factory on 8/14/2024 and is tentatively due to arrive at the installer's place of business on 8/20/2024.  Hopefully the new box will be installed within 7 - 10 days after it is delivered.

UPDATE 8/22/2024:  The new mailbox is scheduled to be installed on 8/23/2024.  Once the new box is installed the HOA will have new keys to distribute to HOA members with a tenant mailbox in this unit.  Email the HOA to set up a time to have the new keys dropped off at your house.

UPDATE 8/23/2024:  The new mailbox has been installed, the USPS has installed the postal lock, and normal mail delivery should resume.  If you have not received your new mailbox keys, please email the HOA to set up a time to receive them.
