Loch Raven Improvement Association's Membership Drive is now underway!
The LRIA community works diligently to maintain a stable neighborhood for the mutual benefit of all residents. Today, we are calling on your assistance to support our mission.
Having a stake in LRIA membership is one easy way to express your commitment in supporting our proactive effort to preserve and stimulate property values, promote superior standards of housing, maintain sanitation and community health, and support initiatives that combat crime and nuisance behavior. As we strive to expand our membership base, the more likely we will be able to inspire
positive change throughout the neighborhood.
Annual membership dues are still only $20 per household, and your contribution is directly reinvested back into the community. Beautification projects, community-focused events, preservation of our community garden, and improving the overall infrastructure of our neighborhood
are just a few of the many efforts in which we are involved.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
You may make payment by any of the following methods:
- In-person, at any monthly community association meeting,
- U.S. Postal mail to: LRIA, P.O. Box 66226, Baltimore, MD 21239, or
- Online via our LRIA.org website (link below)

COMMUNITY ALERT!!!
Notice of Increased Auto Theft
The Northeast Police Department has issued an immediate advisory for the uptick in vehicular theft and car larceny not only in the Loch Raven district, but throughout Baltimore City. Certain model Hyundai and Kia vehicles are most prone to auto theft, due to a social media post that encourages thieves to use electronic devices to bypass the security features. But beware - all vehicles are susceptible targets for thieves!
Please remember to ALWAYS LOCK YOUR CAR, no matter how brief the vehicle is left unattended, and NEVER LEAVE YOUR KEYS IN AN IDLING VEHICLE. It is also highly encouraged that you use a steering wheel lock, or engine disabling device to protect your vehicle.
And be vigilant! If you observe illegal or suspicious activity, PLEASE CALL 911!!!
