As we rapidly approach this holiday season, we wanted to take a moment to provide some timely guidance to communities on some critically important items to have on site in situations when after-hours calls come in at rather inconvenient times during the holidays.
- A replacement for each appliance likely to be used by a resident hosting a holiday meal: Range and Refrigerator at a minimum.
- Plug-in Portable Electric Accordion Heaters (Generally a sufficient number of portable heaters with which to provide adequate heat for your largest apartment floor plan).
- Smoke Detectors and Smoke Detector Batteries
- Traction material including such as sand or gravel. NOTE: Cambridge does not permit chemical or salt based ice-melt products and discourages Pea-Gravel.
- Have an adequate quantity of fire extinguishers serviced and certified in the prior 12 months.
- If your community is located in an area that routinely experiences freezing weather conditions, ensure you have an adequate supply of “Freeze Warning” Notifications on hand to distribute. (available in hard copy through B&B Printing as well as available on Tenant Tech)
These are holiday specific reminders designed to prepare your site for an emergency need in the coming weeks. For a complete list of supplies and equipment pre-approved for your property, please see below.
