Brick Wall Vandalism

Posted By rbutler on Wednesday, September 20 @ 9:31pm

For the last three days in a row, we have had reports of damage to the brick neighborhood border fence along Shelley. Given the volume of damage created, and that the sheer weight of some of the sections are far greater than the mild winds over the last few days, we can only assume that someone deliberately vandalising the fence.

Please be on the lookout for any suspicious activity, including people (our groups of people) walking down the alley or the sidewalk along Shelley. Please contact the Allen Police Non-Emergency number at (214) 509-4321, and the HOA directly at (972) 739-5221 if you notice anything out of the ordinary. We do not have a specific time frame when the damage is occuring each day.

We just recently completed a third round of repairs to the fence in the last few weeks, and it will be another several hundred dollars to repair this most recent damage.

West Nile Virus in the City of Allen

Posted By rbutler on Tuesday, September 12 @ 2:40pm

Due to recent notification from Collin County Health Care Services confirming a case of West Nile Fever in an Allen resident, the City of Allen Environmental Services Division is actively treating all standing bodies of water with larvacide.

To help protect yourself from the West Nile Virus, the Texas Department of State Health Services recommends the following:

• Apply insect repellent that contains DEET (N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide). Be sure to read label instructions. Spray clothing and exposed skin with repellent.
• Dress in long sleeves and long pants when you are outside.
• Stay indoors at dusk and dawn, times when infected mosquitoes are most active.
• Drain standing water in your backyard and neighborhood; old tires, flowerpots and clogged rain gutters are mosquito-breeding sites.

To learn more about West Nile Virus, please visit: Collin County Health Care Services. A copy of the most recent report from Collin County Health Care Services is provided for your review.

Fake Violation Letters

Posted By rbutler on Monday, August 14 @ 11:43am

So that everyone is aware, it appears as though someone is sending out fake violation letters to homeowners in the neighborhood, purporting to be from the HOA. The letter uses a copy of one of the images from the HOA website, and appears to be printed on an inkjet printer.

All valid deed restriction violations are handled by the HOA management company, NMI, and will have their letterhead and contact information.

If you have received one of these letters (which would appear similar to the image on the left), please contact us at officers@maxwellcreek.org, and if possible send us a copy of the letter.
