The Mews and Ridge at Rivington August 2026 HOA Meeting Community Newsletter

Staying Informed - Official Communication Channels

The Board of Directors encourages all residents to stay fully informed by attending our monthly HOA Meetings, reading Monthly Newsletters, and communications from Felner Management and our website. You can access our website here The Mews and Ridge.

In accordance with our operating policy, the HOA does not communicate through social media. Posts on social platforms may be incomplete, inaccurate, or unverified. Relying on unofficial sources can lead to misunderstandings. To ensure you have the full and accurate picture, please continue to follow our official communications.

Maintenance and Project Updates

Please allow contractors full access to all areas so they can complete their tasks efficiently and safely. Do not engage with the contractors directly or interfere with their work. The contractors have been directed to stop work if they are engaged by residents.

Direct questions to Mike Vargas mike@felnercorp.com or Kate Melgar kate@felnercorp.com for review, routing and response.

Pressure Washing

Pressure washing for Winding Ridge Way, Old Pasture Drive, and Mews buildings 100 to 500 (tentative) is scheduled for September 8th through 18th.

Felner Management

Ensuring Professional Management and Streamlined Communication

 Felner Management is your point of contact for all service requests and questions!

Our community is professionally managed by a dedicated management company, Felner Corporation, with the expertise, systems, and staff necessary to handle all aspects of property management. This includes maintenance requests, service requests, addressing issues and concerns, and responding to questions in a timely and organized manner.

To ensure efficiency, accountability, and proper record-keeping, the management company, not Board Directors, must be your primary point of contact for all operational matters. 

This process is essential for several reasons

Accurate Tracking

Every request is logged and monitored through our management system, ensuring nothing is overlooked.

Proper Assignment

Tasks are routed to the appropriate personnel for timely resolution.

Completion Verification: Work orders and issues are tracked to completion for quality assurance.

Permanent Records

All actions are documented and stored in your unit owner profile for future reference.

Action Steps Required

All service requests (work orders) must be submitted through the online portal to ensure proper tracking and timely resolution.

For other inquiries, please refer to the contact list below and reach out to the appropriate representative based on your specific need.

By centralizing communication through the management company, we maintain consistency, transparency, and accountability. This approach allows Board members to focus on governance and strategic decisions, while our management team handles day-to-day operations with professionalism and efficiency.
