In compliance with DCCR Article XXII Section 22.1
definition: De facto “concerning fact.” In law, it often means “in practice but not necessarily ordained by law” or “in practice or actuality, but not officially established.” It is commonly used in contrast to de jure (which means “concerning the law”) when referring to matters of law, governance, or technique (such as standards) that are found in the common experience as created or developed without or contrary to a regulation.
When discussing a legal situation, de jure designates what the law says, while de facto designates action of what happens in practice. It is analogous and similar to the expressions “for all intents and purposes” or “in fact”.

- Members of the PRC will be assigned areas of the neighborhood to review.
- Property reviews will be conducted throughout the year. The committee will set a schedule so reviews are conducted of their assigned areas in similar time frames.
- Property will be reviewed for violations of the DCCR. The following are examples of common violations, please refer to the DCCR [Article X Section 10.1(1) thru (33)] for a complete list of maintenance items:

• Trim or porches that are damaged or need painted or stained.
• Fences or gates that are damaged or need painted or stained.
• Damaged siding or shutters.
• Damaged roofing or gutters.
• Derelict vehicles
- These reviews will be discussed at a bi-monthly PRC meeting and then compiled into a report and presented at the next HOA Board Meeting.
- Homeowner’s with property issues will be contacted by the PRC by email and given 15 days to rectify any problems while asking the homeowner if they need help in completing these tasks. If the homeowner cannot complete the task within 15 days, a notice to the PRC stating the estimated date of completion will stop further action until the next review after the estimated date of completion.
- If a homeowner refuses to respond to the PRC or does not correct issues in specified time frames the non-compliant property will be elevated to the Board of Directors.
