What managing property in North Andover actually involves

North Andover's multi-unit housing is mostly in planned condominium communities and apartment complexes along Route 114, Chickering Road and Osgood Street, plus converted mill buildings near the Lawrence line and a few older multi-families in the Machine Shop Village area. The Old Center and the outer parts of town are single-family. Condo boards here are often larger associations with aging roads, roofs and clubhouses, and real reserve decisions to make.

Town departments are at North Andover Town Hall on Main Street. Route 114 and Route 125 connect the town to Lawrence, Andover and Route 495; there is no commuter rail stop in North Andover, so demand is tied to the college and to employers along 495 and 93.

What owners in North Andover deal with

Lake Cochichewick is the drinking water source for North Andover's 28,000 residents, according to the town. A Watershed Protection Overlay District, which came out of a 1987 watershed plan, restricts certain uses around the lake, and town bylaws require a special permit to build in the watershed. The local Wetlands Protection Bylaw is stricter than state law: no activity within 25 feet of a wetland resource area and no construction of any kind within 50 feet, so paving, drainage and landscaping work near wetlands goes to the Conservation Commission first. Before a sale, the Fire Department certifies smoke and carbon monoxide alarms; owners apply through the town's OpenGov permitting system, and the certificate is valid for 60 days once signed. MeVa Route 9 runs to Merrimack College by way of South Union Street and the North Andover Mall.

North Andover questions

Do you manage larger condo communities in North Andover?

Yes, associations up to one hundred fifty units. We set up the annual budget, reserve planning and monthly financials in the portal for every trustee.

Do you manage rental property near Merrimack College?

Yes, year-round rental buildings of three units and up.

Can a North Andover condo association do landscaping or paving near wetlands?

Under the town's Wetlands Protection Bylaw, no grading, landscaping, clearing or filling is allowed within 25 feet of a wetland resource area, and no construction within 50 feet. Removing trees or vegetation in protected areas needs Conservation Commission approval. The Conservation Department's number is 978-688-9530.

How does the smoke and CO certificate work when a North Andover unit sells?

Apply through the town's OpenGov permitting system. The Fire Department generally schedules the inspection once there is a firm closing date. Test every alarm first, since the certificate is issued on site if the inspector approves, and it is valid for 60 days after signing. Fire Prevention is at 978-688-9590.
