Diandra Brice - Northwest Gardens I
Easter symbolizes the renewal of life. The team at Northwest Gardens I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of our residents a safe and blessed Easter. We hope everyone will find some time amidst the holiday celebration to wind down and relax with your loved ones.
Join us Wednesday, April 11th, 2018 at the Alan Clubhouse for our Easter Event!
Freshen up on best practices for Service Requests!
Maintenance plays a large part in our residents living experience, but before the maintenance staff can service your apartment, it starts with the office staff receiving the service request in person, over the phone or in writing. No matter how the service request is placed, one key to successful service requests is making sure the request is clear and detailed. Without detailed information maintenance can only guess on what needs repair. This situation creates frustration for the maintenance; possibly having them to return to your home several times, and the resident begins to feel they are not able to trust the team to fix their concerns the first time. So, be sure to let us know the correct building and unit, full name, location of the issue and what exactly is not working or broken.

Preventative Maintenance Tips
Mildew Control: Keep the light on in the bathroom for at least an hour after showers. This allows the moisture to be removed from the bathroom and prevents mildew. Also use your vent fan when cooking, it is on the microwave in most units and the range hood in some.
2018 Resident Events
Please plan to attend at least a few of the events we have planned for 2018. Home Buyers Happy Hours, Health & Nutrition workshops, Job Training, and many other life enhancing services.
Please call the office promptly to report any pest issues.
April is Jazz Appreciation Month.
Pooper Scooper
We are a pet-friendly community, so remember to clean up after your fur-baby!

Dixie Tips
Dishwashers
Even if you do not use the dishwasher to wash your dishes, you must run a cycle on the dishwasher at least once per month.
Garbage Disposals
These are not meant for actual garbage or large sums of food. Please use your judgment when using the garbage disposal; large sums of food will cause backups and you may be charged. Also please make sure to place a few cubes of ice down the garbage disposal and run it monthly; this will help keep the blades sharp enough to run efficiently.
