· All window sills must be clear and not having anything placed on them.

· All windows and doors must be clear with full access and cannot have any furniture blocking them. *Move all furniture away from the windows.

· Call in any work orders immediately so they can be addressed prior to the inspection.

· Make sure all smoke detectors are installed and working.

You are a valuable part of our community and we cannot succeed without you. Please help us by doing your part and showing pride in your home and neighborhood.

Sincerely,

Teri Henry
