Should I change my exterior
light bulbs?
Unit owners must
replace
exterior light bulbs in the fixtures attached to your unit.
The Association will only change the light bulbs in the street
lamps. If you notice that a street lamp is not working,
complete a Maintenance Request located in the Service Forms.

How does my fire alarm work?
If you see a fire, call 911 and
leave your residence immediately. When a problem is detected by the
alarm system there is a loud ringing of an alarm bell alerting all
residents to leave the building. The building fire alarm system is
NOT connected to the Plymouth Township Fire Department.
|
|
How do I turn on/off my
exterior spigot?
Interior valves need to be shut
off every fall to prevent pipes from bursting. The shut off is a
two step process - 1) turn off the interior shutoff valve, which is
near the exit point to the outside and then 2) open the exterior
spigot to allow remaining water to drain out and then shut it off.
In the spring, simply reverse the process.

installed to assist with the removal of ground water. If your

pump for the building, and it stops operating, please complete a Maintenance Request located in the

as soon as possible.
