Safety Tips

1.      Get new locks or have tumblers reset when moving into a previously occupied dwelling.

2.      Don’t hide a key outside the door, under mats, under flowerpots, and so forth.

3.      Have good, safe locks on all doors and windows. Use deadbolts on all exterior doors.

4.      Install an alarm system that can detect entry and notify police.

5.      Close your garage door whether you are home or away. Open doors allow burglars to see your valuables and enter your home.

6.      Lock car doors if you park your car outside.

7.      Leave outside lights on at night when you are home or away.

8.      Be alert for unusual or suspicious activity. Call the police if you do not recognize a person or car, and you observe suspicious activity.

9.      Stop newspaper delivery or have a neighbor pick them up daily.

10.  Use clock timers on interior lights if you are going to be away.

11.  Get to know your neighbors. Communication between neighbors is key!

12.  Watch your neighbor’s home while they are away. Request that they do the same for you when you are out of town.

13.  Notify the Fishers Police Department when you are going to be away for an extended period of time. Give them information about who may stop by your home, who has keys, lights that will be left on, or any vehicle parked on the property.

14.  Don’t take chances! If you see or hear something suspicious, call the police.

15.  Know your block captain’s name and contact information.

16.  Contact the police first if you are a crime victim.

Important Notices

Outdoor grills can melt condominium siding.  Residents should move grills away from the building when cooking.  Damages due to outdoor grilling will be repaired at the owner’s expense.

Trash containers must be kept in garages or on back patio areas when not out for collection.  They must not be visible from the street at any other time. 

Owners are responsible for keeping lawn areas immediately surrounding their units clean and free from debris.  Littering is prohibited.

Each unit has a garage and driveway, and residents are expected to use this parking before parking on streets or in parking areas.  Street parking is restricted to the west side of Brewton and Ladson streets.  Parking on these streets IS NOT permitted between 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.  NO STREET PARKING is allowed on Anson, Boone, Exchange, Gibbes, Lamboll, Legare, Lenwood, Meeting, and Thradd Streets, except for the designated spaces at these streets’ dead end.

Condo Winterization Process

Procedure every fall before the onset of freezing temperatures:

1.      Turn the water off at the shut-off location.

2.      Turn the water on at the rear outside hose bib.  This will drain the water out of the lines.  Leave the hose bib open.  Be sure to disconnect any water hoses at this time.

Procedure every spring after the last frost:

1.      Turn the water on at the shut-off location.

2.      The water supply will now flow to the hose bib.  Immediately check that the outside rear hose bib is shut off.

Typical Shut-off Location:

Alston: Upstairs closet where the hot water heater is located.

Broad: Upstairs bath cabinet under the sink.

Cooper: No draining required.

Drayton: Upstairs closet where the furnace and hot water heater are located.

Additionally, as extreme weather conditions arise, you can do the following to help reduce the chance of having problems:

1.      To prevent water lines from freezing on extremely cold or windy days, drip each of your faucets (hot and cold sides in the kitchen, bath, and tub).  Open the cabinets beneath your sinks to allow warm air to circulate around the pipes.

2.      Be sure your outside spigots do not have a hose attached to them and that they are drained.

3.      Do not allow ice and snow to build up around your back door.  Ice may melt as the weather warms, and you may experience seepage in and around the door.

Thanks for taking necessary precautions to eliminate potential concerns!
