North Street Properties goes to great lengths to provide residents with an outstanding living environment. We want you to feel comfortable and confident in your decision to make one of our communities your home. Since safety and security are growing concerns in today's society, we have addressed some of the most commonly asked questions regarding this issue.
While You Are Inside Your Apartment Home...
- Lock your doors and windows even when you are at home, being sure to use deadbolts. If you wish to add additional locks, please contact the management office for assistance.
- Never sleep with doors or windows unlocked and open.
- Never answer your door unless you know who is on the other side. Be skeptical of anyone who asks to enter your home, even just to use the phone.
- Do not lend out your keys. If you have lost or misplaced your key, you may make arrangements with management to have your locks changed.
- Keep emergency numbers posted next to every phone.
- Immediately report any needed repairs of locks, latches, doors or windows inside your apartment.
- Check your smoke detector periodically to ensure that it is working.
- Immediately report any needed repair of devices outside your apartment such as gate locks or burned out lights.
- Close your curtains or blinds at night.
- Mark or engrave personal possessions for identification.
- Never leave children alone without appropriate supervision.
- Report solicitors to management. Such persons are not permitted on the property unless prior arrangements are made with management.
While You Are Outside Your Apartment Home...
- Lock your doors and windows when you are gone, and don't forget the sliding glass door.
- Do not hide your front door key under the doormat or around your front door; it is usually the first place a burglar will look!
- Try not to walk alone at night.
- Use a lamp timer to turn on lights and leave a radio playing softly when you are not at home.
- Arrange for your newspaper delivery to be stopped when you are on vacation.
- If you have an entry or alarm code, do not give the code to guests or strangers.
- Do not leave your apartment unlocked, even for a quick errand. Criminals look for this type of opportunity.
- Always stay alert and aware of your surroundings.
Regarding Your Automobile...
- Look inside your vehicle before entering.
- Do not leave your car running while unattended.
- Keep your car locked at all times.
- Remove or store valuables out of sight. Do not leave purses, briefcases, golf clubs, packages, cellular phones, personal papers, wallets, gym bags, audio equipment, CD's or sunglasses in view.
- Carry your key ring in your hand while walking to your car, whether it is daylight or dark.
