Smoke Detectors – a homeowner requested that residents be reminded not to tamper with or remove their smoke detectors. This is because the fire detection system goes into alarm, which needs immediate investigation and/or a call to 911 and the fire department. In order to reestablish communications between the tampered alarm and the alarm system an expensive contractor is needed, which is then billed to the unit owner.
Hose Kit Reimbursement Deadline – Any remaining requests for hose kits are subject to the $150 per heat pump guidance. The period of consideration is from September 2017 through August 1, 2019. No further requests will be considered after August 1st.
