If your bicycle is impounded for any reason, it will be retained for 30 days before it is discarded or sold to cover removal costs.

If apartment do not have power, what to do?

If outlets or lights in an area of the apartment don’t have power while other areas in the apartment still have power, please first check the GFI(Ground Fault Interrupter) outlets in the kitchen and bathroom. This is a special electrical outlet that prevents electrocution in situations where water may come into contact with an electrical appliance. If you lose electrical power in the kitchen or bathroom, try pressing the “reset” button. Pressing the “test” button will intentionally trip the GFI. Press the “reset” button to reset the GFI. If resetting the GFI does not restore power please reset the circuit breaker. Every apartment has its own circuit breaker box. If you can’t find yours, try checking in the closets or in the mechanical room next to the water heater. Once you locate the circuit breaker box, open the cover and you’ll see what looks like several light switches. Feel each switch to make sure that it’s firmly in the ON position. Don’t worry touching these switches won’t shock you. Once a breaker is tripped it will feel loose. Flip the switch to the OFF and then ON. This will reset the breaker and power should be restored. If the breaker won’t reset, there may be  too many things plugged into an outlet. If this occurs try unplugging the items and plugging only one or two items back in to the outlet.

What to do if not get hot water?

If you do not have hot water, be sure the circuit breaker for the water heat is switched to the “on” position before submitting a maintenance request.  To reset a circuit breaker, first switch it to the “off” position and then switch it to the “on” position.

All lost keys will be replaced at the resident’s expense. Lost keys are $25 per key. Lost key fobs are $50 per fob.  In some cases, this may entail re-keying or replacing the lock. A mailbox key replacement is $25.

What is the procedure of lockout?

Lock outs after hours are not considered emergencies. The lock out charge is $50 payable in cash only. You must provide a photo id. Please do not attempt to break in to your apartment, as you will be held responsible for any damages you may cause.

How we can receive mail and packages?

Please place your name on your mailbox in order to receive your mail.  Please check your mail on a regular basis as accumulated mail can make the mailbox difficult to open and close.  If you are unable to check your mail for more than a few days, please contact the United States Postal Service to have your mail held.
