Winter Reminders

• Snow removal for common areas will be handled by management
• Tenants are responsible for keeping private entrances, steps, and balconies clear (if applicable to your unit)
• Do not pile snow against buildings, vents, or near exits
• Do not shovel snow into driveways or cleared parking areas
• Report icy or unsafe conditions

• Move vehicles as requested for plowing or sanding
• Invest in a shovel to remove snow directly around your vehicle. This will be necessary before a thorough plowing of the parking lot can be done with all the vehicles removed
• Let management know if your vehicle will be parked for an extended period

• Keep the heat on at all times, even if you are away
• Do not turn the heat completely off during winter
• Keep windows closed when the outdoor temperature is at or below freezing. Briefly opening windows up to 3 inches to allow for moisture buildup to leave the apartment is fine for 10 minutes.
• Open cabinet doors under sinks during extreme cold
• Allow faucets to drip slightly if temperatures drop significantly
• Report heating issues, frozen pipes, or leaks immediately

• Use bathroom and kitchen fans to reduce moisture buildup
• Clean snow and ice from balconies to prevent water damage
• Report ceiling leaks that can occur from ice buildup on the roof

• Notify management if you will be away for several days or more
• Ensure emergency contact information is up to date

Prompt reporting of winter issues helps prevent costly damage and keeps everyone safe. Please contact management with any concerns.
