FAQ’s

Covenants Inspectors conduct community inspections every two weeks, where the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (DCCRs) and the Design Committee rules are enforced. Anything seen during inspections that are contrary to the Covenants are cited by the inspector and the Homeowner is given time to bring the violation into compliance. Some Homeowners may feel as though they are being targeted or singled out when that is not the case. On average, our staff inspects around 400-600 houses on inspection days. The Inspectors cite for what they can see, and each property with a visible violation will be cited for that violation.

All speed limits are designated by the City and County. Ewa by Gentry and Gentry Homes do not have authority to change or reduce speed limit signs. Any request for speed limit regulation can be submitted through the City and County.

Though the City and County planter strips are the responsibility of the Homeowner to maintain, per your deed, maintenance of City and County trees are not Homeowner responsibility. The trees are on a yearly trimming schedule, but if a tree becomes problematic, you may submit a report to the City (808-971-7151).

If there is a tree on your property that was planted by the Developer, you must apply to the Design Committee to have it removed. Trees planted by the developer would be on the closing plot plan. If the tree was planted by a previous Homeowner, no approval is needed for removal. However, any tree on a Homeowner’s property is the sole responsibility of the Homeowner to maintain.

During 2020, we had just one Covenants Inspector from March to December. As a result, they were told to concentrate solely on Covenants issues and to put Arch Mod inspections on hold until we were fully staffed.  As one of the requirements for any Design Committee approval, Homeowners must notify the Covenants Department when modifications are complete by contacting the office or turning in the Notice of Completion Form. If we are not contacted upon completion, we inspect once the permit has expired. It is crucial to notify the Covenants Department once modifications are complete to prevent having to fix any issues long after work has finished.

HPD. We have no database that tells us which car belongs to who. Our Community Watch Team can issue parking advisories for these vehicles, but EbGCA has no authority to escalate parking violations or to tow any vehicles.

If there are complaints against neighbors and the violation goes against the Covenants, the Covenants Department can cite for what is visible from the street. If there are infractions that are not visible from the street that go against the Covenants, we can send a “Be a Good Neighbor” letter which informs the Homeowner that they may be held liable in Court for any damages done to a neighboring property, but any other dispute or issue between neighbors would be solely up to Homeowners to resolve. EbGCA has no jurisdiction over any neighbor dispute which does not directly involve the DCCRs.
