Dear Residents,

We’d like to share a few helpful tips to enhance everyone’s experience here at CityView.

Garbage Disposals

To ensure the proper functioning of our garbage disposals and to avoid costly repairs, please follow the guidelines below:

DO: What You Can Put in the Garbage Disposal:

•   Citrus Rinds: Lemon, lime, and orange peels can help freshen the disposal.
•  Cold Water: Always run cold water before, during, and after using the disposal.

DON’T: What You Should NOT Put in the Garbage Disposal:

• Coffee Grounds:
• Egg Shells:
•  Grease, Oils, and Fats: These can solidify and cause clogs.
•  Fibrous Foods: Avoid corn husks, celery, onion skins, and artichokes.
•  Large Bones: While small bones are fine, large bones can damage the blades.
•  Pasta, Rice, and Bread: These expand with water and can clog the pipes. They also stick to grease and build scale on the pipes which over time reduces the diameter of pipe which drain from your unit/building stack.
•  Non-Food Items: Plastic, paint, glass, metal, and paper should never be put in the disposal.

Additional Tips:

• Run the Disposal Regularly: Frequent use prevents rust and corrosion.
• Cut Large Items into Smaller Pieces: This prevents overloading the disposal.
• Use Ice Cubes to Sharpen Blades: Occasionally grind ice cubes to maintain sharpness.

By following these simple guidelines, we can maintain a safe and efficient waste management system in our community.

Plumbing:

• Please review the plumbing policy carefully. Both the owner and the plumber must sign the form, and the plumber must include their license number on it.
• The following items are to help prevent plumbing issues that may cause damage if neglected.

DO:

• Check for leaks around appliances like tubs, showers, beneath sinks and garbage disposals.
• Check water supply valves to ensure they are not corroded, rusted or hard to open/close.
• If you have an HVAC/PTAC unit, have it serviced annually, change the filter every three months. Make sure that the condensate line is cleared during the annual service.
• If you have a hot water tank, check the drip pan or install a water sensor that will alarm if the tank begins to fail.
• DON’T:
• Don’t flush wipes or feminine products.
• Don’t put eggshells, coffee grinds or oil down the drain.

Pets:

• Please remember to make sure you have your pet under your control at all times. Make sure your pet is always on the leash when you are not in your unit.
• Make sure your pet is not on CityView property when it needs to relieve itself.
• Make sure you have registered your pet. Make sure there is a photo on file in case of an emergency. See Theo
• Please review the pet policy for more information.

Parking:

• Parking in the circle is limited to 15 minutes. After 20 minutes you will receive a warning followed by a ticket and then a tow if you are there pass the allowed time limit.

Garage:

• The speed limit in the garage is 10 mph. Speeding will result in a fine.
• You must stop at both stop signs at the speed bump on the first level near the elevator. Not stopping will result in a fine.

(This memo is the warning.)

Front Entrance:

• Please have your key fob ready when entering the building and use it to open the door. While the concierge can assist if needed, it is not their responsibility to open the door if you are able to do so yourself.
