Specific guidelines for Hamilton Garden Lofts may be found in our Bylaws. Below are a few frequently asked questions and some suggestions that apply in keeping with living as a community.  

 

a/c.

• It is recommended that during the winter months, you flip your A/C circuit breaker to off.  This will prevent accidental cycling of your A/C unit during cold weather which could damage your A/C unit.

• Please refer to A/C Units page for details on further unit maintenance and repair.

​

​

cable & internet.

• Comcast/X-Finity is the sole cable provider for the building.

electrical.

• Meters are located on the back walls of the carports.  Each unit is responsible for their own service/billing. Our units are electric, with the exception of your individual heating system. 

• There are to be no gas appliances in units as we do not have proper venting through our roof for those type appliances.

 

 

exterior doors.

• Please do not leave any exterior door propped open and unattended as this presents safety, liability, heating and cooling issues.

 

 

housekeeping & interior cleaning.

• We contract with a local housekeeping establishment for general cleaning of the hallways, elevator, lobby and other common areas.  

• Please notify us IMMEDIATELY if there is an accident in any of the common areas, including the elevator, which might require immediate clean up.

Fewer vehicles on the street during these times provides for better street maintenance in the form of cleaning and snow removal. In addition, clear streets promote crime deterrence and offer the police department better visibility while conducting neighborhood patrols.
