You must contact the customer services or on-call number of your area’s office immediately if you detect a water leak or some other defect. Waste material that might clog up the pipes must not be allowed to enter the toilet or drains, either accidentally or on purpose.

Any pests spotted in the apartments or the outdoor areas must be reported to the area office’s customer services or on-call number immediately.

When walking your pet, make sure that it does not soil or damage the property, yard, plants or building walls. Owners must clean up after their pets. Pets may not be exercised in children’s play areas or their immediate vicinity. Owners must ensure that their pets do not disturb their surroundings and the building’s residents with repeated noise.

Birds, squirrels or other wild animals may not be fed on balconies or anywhere else on the property.
