BEWARE: IRRESPONSIBLE BUILDING
IN MANDEVILLE
Mandeville Canyon Association
supports responsible building.
But, building on hillside
property
requires thorough analysis of
many aspects of building codes
and an understanding of the
long-term impact a project might
have on the community. We know
from experience that not only do
adjoining property owners
require protection from safety
hazards and infringement of
rights, but our natural
landscape and environment
requires guardianship and
protection as well.
The City is great at a lot of
things but they are also
understaffed and overworked at
times. MCA assists its neighbors
in conjunction with the City in
issues of safety, proposed
developments, variance and the
rights of the public and private
homeowners. MCA helps support
th
e flow of information and
communication. It is important
to know that the
City does not require builders
to issue performance bonds or
surety bonds to protect
surrounding homeowners from
possible damages caused by
irresponsible builders and/or
developers. Such issues can
become costly civil matters.
Neighbors should learn to be on
the look out and be advocates for
themselves because the City does
not know all of the issues that
affect our Canyon.
It has been the mission of MCA
for more than 65 years to
promote safety and protect and
preserve the natural beauty and
country-like quality of our
neighborhood and environment.
