The Management Office has received a report that a car was stolen on 30th Street S. over the weekend. There was also a report that possible teens are ringing multi-unit intercoms to gain access to the buildings.

Residents, please make sure all multi-unit doors close properly and if not please contact Management to place a work order to make repairs. Also, if you notice any suspicious activity please contact the police.

As highlighted in the August North Fairlington News, charcoal and gas grills and portable outdoor fire pits are not permitted on balconies.  This policy is in accordance with the Arlington County Fire Prevention Code Section 308.1.4 and City of Alexandria restrictions, based on the Virginia Fire Prevention Code 308.3.1.  The Arlington County Fire Marshall recently visited Fairlington Villages to issue warnings.  Please remove gas and charcoal grills from balconies to avoid citations from Arlington County and the City of Alexandria.

With the end of summer comes the autumn holiday season – crisp breezes and colorful foliage will soon abound.  Please remember that the standard decorations variance approved by the Board of Directors permits Halloween decorations on or after October 15th.  They may remain through November 8th, after which date they must be removed.  Thanksgiving and Year-End Holiday seasonal decorations are permitted from November 15th to January 15th, annually.  Any exterior decorations outside of these specific ranges of dates requires a Variance request to the Board of directors.

There is a community effort underway in Fairlington Villages to lower the risk of injury to Abingdon students at the ad hoc pick-up and drop-off area on 30th Road South. Throughout the last school year, residents in the community witnessed instances of illegal parking and aggressive driving from caregivers dropping off and picking up students at the cul-de-sac on 30th Road South. Using this road, instead of the main school drop-off zone, is appealing to caregivers who are running late and trying to save time by avoiding the more congested official route. On occasion, individuals speeding through the cul-de-sac have been close to hitting pedestrians, including children walking to and from school. Double parking and idling vehicles in the area have also led to confrontations between residents and caregivers. 

Caregivers are asked not use the 30th Road South Cul-de-sac for the drop-off or pick-up of children attending Abingdon Elementary School.  Please rather use the official drop-off and pick-up lane at the school itself.
