Plan on Getting Your Chimney Inspected and Cleaned

It is that time of the year again when chimney inspections are required. All American Chimney has offered rates of $30.00 for an inspection, and an additional $60.00 if cleaning is necessary. Please call All American Chimney at 973-927-3899 to make an appointment. They will ensure your inspection report is forwarded to Wilkin Management by the required date of February 15, 2009. 

If you choose to use another service, you are required to send a copy of the inspection report to Wilkin Management by the due date.

Homeowners who do not comply will be fined $100.00 in accordance with the Berkshire Ridge Rules and Regulations.

2009 Maintenance Fees

 Effective January 1, 2009 monthly fees, which include a $96.00 water and sewerage charge, are:

End units: $373.50 Internal Units $317.10

All members should have by now received coupon books and envelopes.

Slow Down!

A reminder that the speed limit on all roads within Berkshire Ridge is 15 mph. We have had several near misses of late because of speeding. Remember too - no on street parking. Click here for parking rules.

Garbage - Are you Compliant?

Our by-laws state that garbage should be put curbside the morning of collection (Tuesday and Friday), and in a garbage can. For the majority of residents this is not the case. Plastic bags full of garbage are left curbside the night before collection and are often raided by bears and other wildlife, creating a mess and also revealing who is not recycling! Be reminded that recycling is the law in New Jersey.  Recycling pick-up dates are notated on this web site (see details of collection dates left of this page).  Finally, be a good neighbor. If you see an empty garbage can being blown around the community, do something about it. Also, pick up trash. This is NOT a country club. We are all responsible for the well-being of Berkshire Ridge.

In the meantime, Jefferson Township Council continues to debate ways to strengthen local garbage disposal laws. Click here for more information.
