Safety Tips

Our insurance agency asked that we remind all homeowners:

  1. To install new batteries in battery-only smoke detectors at least twice a year and to test them according to manufacturer recommendations. 

  2. To make sure you have a carbon monoxide alarm installed in accordance with the California Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Prevention Act of 2010 and test regularly according to manufacturer recommendations.  A list of approved devices along with frequently asked questions can be found at http://www.fire.ca.gov/communications/communications_firesafety_carbonmonoxide.php 

Supervision

All children must be supervised while in the community.

Cyclists must wear protective headgear as defined by law.

Sidewalks are limited to pedestrian traffic only.

Skate boarding/hover boards, scooters, razor scooters within the community are not allowed

Maintenance Tips

A few tips that may make your life more enjoyable and prevent expensive repair bills:

1.  Replace your washing machine hoses at least every 5 years.

2.  Replace the angle stops (shut off valves) on your sinks and toilets at least every 5 years.

3.  Drain your hot water heater once a year and check for signs of failure:

  • Check the age of the water heater (on the manufacture date sticker on the outside of the heater).  Most water heaters last at least 10 years.  If yours is much older than that, consider replacement. 
  • Look for rusty water on the hot water side inside your home, which usually indicates rust in the water heater. 
  • Check for water around the water heater.
  • Listen for rumbling or banging noises that indicate there is sediment building up that leads to failure. 

4.  When using your garbage disposal, follow recommended tips:

  • It is best to scrap off food into your green trash and only put a tiny amount of food scraps in the disposal. 
  • Do NOT ever put starchy or absorbent foods in the disposal (potatoes, vegetable peelings, asparagus, kale, celery, bananas, pasta, rice, bread, etc). 
  • Use plenty of cold water when using the disposal.
  • Do NOT put bones in garbage disposals.
  • Do NOT use chemical cleaners in the garbage disposals. 

5.  Do NOT put any grease or fat in your drains as these can easily clog your pipes. Wipe off any cooking utensils with paper towels and put the paper towels in your organic waste.

6.  Turn off the main water valve just inside your garage when going out of town to prevent unexpected leaks.   

Most homeowners insurance won't cover water leaks that are due to lack of maintenance so a few simple tips can help you prevent damage to your home or neighbors.  

7.  Dryer vents and dry ducts need periodic cleaning. If not cleaned regularly, the trapped lint is combustible and can cause a fire.  Two companies that have been used by owners recently are: 

8.  If you have work done in your attic for any reason, make sure the workers know that there may be water lines there and/or fire sprinkler lines there. If damaged, those lines can cause significant water damage very quickly.  

9.  A couple plumbers recommended by owners here are:

No Smoking

This community is a No Smoking Community. If you want to smoke, you will need to go outside of the community to do so.

Trash Can Removal

Trash, trash receptacles, trash cans or bags are not allowed in the common area prior to 6:00 p.m. the night before the scheduled weekly trash pickup and/or should be taken inside by the end of the trash pickup day.

Parking 

Each residence has two reserved parking spaces - either two in the garage, or one in the garage and one space reserved outside.

  1. Spaces marked "Guest Parking" (which includes ALL designated handicap spaces) are reserved exclusively for guest vehicles.  The community has the minimum number of guest parking spaces required by city and county zoning regulations.
  2. Resident vehicles may not occupy guest parking spaces AT ANY TIME.  Resident vehicles in violation of this rule are subject to tow without prior notice.

See separate parking page for detailed parking rules.
