CenterStone Summer Newsletter | |
Hello CenterStone Residents,
It's time to start gearing up for Summer! Our annual Spring Carport Cleaning will be underway soon, please keep an eye out for the date posted on the community bulletin boards. In order to maintain our carports in good condition we require the carport to be entirely clear of belongings, allowing our team to deep clean. Our grounds staff has begun the spring cleanup, reseeding, and landscaping programs that keep the CenterStone property looking welcoming and bright for the summer. Be sure to thank our maintenance team when you see them.
We’d like to thank everyone who assisted with our snow removal efforts by moving their vehicles during each snowstorm this winter. Your cooperation has helped our team tremendously! A thank you is also in order for those residents who are considerate enough to dispose of their trash appropriately.
We have some new faces around CenterStone, and we would like to welcome all of our new residents. Be sure to sign up for our newsletters and email blasts and visit the Hodges Companies Facebook page. These publications will help keep you informed of events happening at your home, the CenterStone Residence and throughout the local Concord area. We hope your stay at CenterStone will be long and enjoyable!
Judy, Property Manager

Barbecue Grills
We would like to remind you of the City of Concord Fire Regulations: No barbecue grills in or on patios or balconies, this includes electric grills of any kind. You must place your grill 10 feet away from the building, and only charcoal briquettes or lava type briquettes are to be burned. Please be courteous of your neighbors with regard to open windows and smoke from your grill. Never leave the grill unattended. We want everyone to be safe and enjoy the outdoor cooking season. Please make sure the grills are stored by the tree line of the property, so we can perform lawn maintenance.

Balcony Etiquette
Now that spring is here, more of you will be spending time on your balconies and patios. There are a few things to keep in mind: Please do not allow anything to hang or be suspended over the railings where it would be unsafe. When pruning and watering plants, keep in mind there are residents below you and over watering may result in a wet balcony or patio, and possibly wet furniture. Your balcony is not a play area for children, nor is it to be used for storage or hanging clothes. Please be mindful of your noise levels, especially in the evenings, so you do not disturb your neighbors. If you’re a smoker, please keep an ashtray or can filled with sand on your balcony and do not litter the ground with cigarette butts. A little consideration keeps our community clean and neighborly.

Window Safety
Falls are the leading cause of injury to children, keep your family safe by following these simple steps:
- Keep all furniture, especially beds, sofas and dressers (anything a child can climb) away from windows.
-
Lock all unopened doors and windows.
-
Open windows from the top down, especially when there are children in the home.
-
If you must open windows from the bottom, buy window-stops at your local hardware store that will limit the opening to less than 4 inches. Window-stops can be disabled by an adult or an older child in an emergency.

Driver & Pedestrian Safety Reminder
It has been brought to our attention that vehicles of residents and their guests have been driving through the complex at speeds that are over the posted limits. Please, for everyone’s safety, slow down. As residents, it is your responsibility to adhere to the speed limit of 10 MPH that is posted through the complexes of Salisbury Green, Florence V. Hodges, and CenterStone Residence. Please remind your guests to do the same. Thank you for helping keep our community safe!

Renter's Insurance - A Little Peace of Mind
You’ve just moved into a new apartment, and you have a lot to do, setting up your Wi-Fi, electric, and cable service, letting people know your new address, deciding how to arrange your living room – the last thing you’re thinking about is renter’s insurance. Please be advised that while our insurance policy covers certain types of damage to our buildings, it doesn’t provide coverage for your personal belongings. That’s why most people who rent apartments carry “Renter’s Insurance.” Be sure to let your agent know that you live in a secured building with deadbolt locks, a sprinkler system, and the property is located close to the Concord Fire Department - Heights Substation. Here are a few Concord area Insurance Companies:
Liberty Mutual | Allstate | Progressive

Security Tips
We would like to remind our residents that their cooperation with our security programs helps to keep CenterStone safe for everyone:
- Always keep the building’s security doors closed. Do not prop these doors open.
- Report any building doors that don’t close or latch properly. We give these a high priority for repair. A call or an email to the rental office will get a repair scheduled.
- Please don’t allow any person(s) you do not know to enter the building.
- We highly recommend that each resident secure their storage area with a padlock.
- Never store combustibles or valuable items in your storage area.
- Keep your vehicle windows closed and doors locked when parked.
If you should see any questionable activity, please contact the Concord Police by calling the non-emergency number, 603-225-8600.
Thank you for helping to keep our community safe.
