The pristine and glorious winters of Maine can create some work for everyone. Below you will find lots of information on how we handle the snowfall and also what you are expected to do to make snow removal run smoothly and you keep yourself safe. Snow Removal  We employ a local contractor who will plow the roads and parking spots during the winter. The plowing contractor will be clearing roads and driveways as necessary throughout storms. He will come to clear parking spaces depending on when the storm ends. Vehicles must be removed by the times listed and must stay clear of the lot until entirely completed. The tenant is responsible for getting their own vehicle moved so that plowing contractor can do his job effectively. As all of us Mainers are aware, each storm will be different and some will take longer than others to clear. We appreciate your patience and flexibility as we contend with what Mother Nature brings. Please see the snow removal schedule for your property.   If you cannot move your vehicles during these times, you will need to make some other arrangement for your vehicle as just one vehicle left in the lot can slow down the process for everyone. The plowing contractor charges $50.00 additional for every car not moved. Unmoved cars will be identified, and Tenants responsible for those vehicles will be charged accordingly. Any car that interferes with plowing may be towed at the owner’s expense. Shoveling Tenants are responsible to clear the snow off their balconies after each snowfall to prevent water damage in the apartments below. There will be shovels provided at all buildings for tenants to do this and also in case you need to leave the building before the walkways and driveways are plowed.  It is important to return the shovels to where they were taken from so others may use them. If, for any reason, there are no shovels, please call Jamey at 207-754-7000. Tenants are responsible for their own well-being and safety. Sanding There will be sand buckets provided in every building for tenants to use to ensure their safe passage on the grounds. It is important to understand that due to our weather, there is always the possibility of slippery conditions. It is important to understand that it is possible for ice to melt during the day and re-freeze during the evenings. It is solely the tenant’s responsibility to ensure that the walkways stay sanded. Please call the maintenance number if you notice the sand buckets getting low.
