Maintenance Tips
Tips for Running Water
- If you cannot turn the water off at the leaking device (ie. toilet, sink, etc.), turn the water off at the unit, or building if necessary. This is done at the water meter and will prevent additional damage to the unit and your personal property.
- In the event that you cannot turn off the water and your unit is flooding, call the Utility company’s emergency line to have your water disconnected.
- Take similar steps for gas, but make sure you evacuate if the smell is strong and continues.

Tips for Air Conditioning and Heating Unit
- For A/C, set the temperature setting to auto & cool position for cooling, and auto & heat position for heating. Setting the thermostat under 72 degree on the cool setting all the time which will increase your utility consumption.
- It is better to leave the A/C running if you are going to leave your apartment for only a few hours. When leaving, set your thermostat about 5 to 8 degree higher than when you are at home it will reduce your electricity consumption and it will cool your unit more efficiently.
- For window A/C unit, you must avoid setting the temperature control on high, with the fan setting on low, in order to prevent damage to the compressor, resulting in a resident charge.
- If your A/C is not cooling, first check the temperature setting; Second check the breaker box to make sure that the breakers are not tripped; Third check if you have a clean A/C filter in the unit.
- It is the responsibility of the resident to change or wash (if you have a washable filter) the A/C filter every four (4) weeks. This will prevent damage to the unit and will keep it operating more efficiently.
- For gas heating, make sure your pilot light is lit. If your pilot is out, a work order can be issued through a maintenance request.
Fire Prevention – Abide by the following to ensure the physical health and safety of you and your neighbors
- Your unit includes a fire extinguisher. Check it monthly to ensure it’s in working order.
- Extra extinguishers are also mounted outside the front of your building.
- If any extinguishers are missing, please create a maintenance request to notify our office
- BBQ grills are to be stored behind the building 1 or 2, AFTER they have cooled. Nothing should be stored in the driveway.
- BBQ grills can only be used on the sidewalk, no closer to building. Never under the overhang of the roof.
Washer & Dryer
- Do not overload the washer and dryer
- If washer will not continue through the spin cycle, rearrange clothes and restart–clothes may be off balance
- Always clean the lint trap before using the dryer
- If service is needed on a washer or dryer, please contact the provider directly from the poster in the laundry room.
Lawn Care
- The perimeter of your unit should be free of debris, front and back. This is very helpful for the landscaping crew. All trash should be discarded inside the dumpster.
- Any gates that are not opening and closing properly or that have been locked by you need to be reported to the office.
- Pet owners are responsible for cleaning up all poop that their pet produces on the property. Failure to pick up after your pet will result in a $50 fine per occurrence.
Pest Control
Prior to Pest Control Treatment
- Please remove all food, utensils, glasses, dishes and food containers from countertops and floors. Also remove everything from inside the cabinets if you wish them to be treated.
- Please remove all animals and animal food bowls until at least 30 minutes after the pest control treatment is complete (to give the chemicals time to dry and the fumes time to dissipate).
- Because of the annoyance of the fumes during application, we suggest that no person or animal be in the apartment during the pest control application.
Everyday Pest Control Tips
- Do not keep brown paper grocery sacks around since they often are contaminated with roach eggs. Roaches can thrive in the dark warm folds of paper sacks.
- Do not leave food uncovered except when absolutely necessary.
- Do not drop food or crumbs on the floor.
- Sweep and mop your kitchen regularly. Clean up spills immediately.
- Vacuum the carpets and rugs frequently to remove crumbs and other food particles accidentally dropped.
- Use the garbage disposal in the sink whenever possible. Do not put wet garbage in the trash.
- Take the trash to the dumpster daily (or at least every other day).
- If you are allowed to have an animal, store animal food in well-sealed containers and be sure to clean water bowls and food bowls at least once a day. Remember that wet animal food attracts roaches and other pests much faster than dry animal food.
If you have a pest control problem in your unit, please contact our office using the maintenance form. Thank you for your cooperation.
