Summer Newsletter

Hello Salisbury Green Residents,

The nice warm summer days will be upon us soon and we are all looking forward to being outside enjoying the weather. The birds start singing early in the morning and soon it will be warm enough to start planting your garden. Our designated garden area by the maintenance shop will be rototilled and marked off into plots by Memorial Day. If you had a plot last year, we will do our best to accommodate you with the same one this year. If you are interested, please let me know.

We’d like to get feedback from our residents on whether anyone would be interested in participating in a yard sale this summer. Tentatively, our yard sale would be held mid-June on a Saturday from 8 am to noon in the field between building 1 and 2A. Summer is a great time to clean out your apartment and storage area of things that you haven't been using. Please give it some thought and contact me, Roberta at (603) 224-9130 if you would like to start planning a yard sale.

A big welcome to all of our new residents. Summer is a good time to get to know your neighbors, either by the pool or taking a walk around the grounds. You can always do some grilling by the picnic tables but please review grill safety below.

We are taking the time to send out a little reminder about picking up after your pet. We have doggie bag stations now so there is no excuse for not picking up after your pet. The Salisbury Green grounds people work hard all year long to keep Salisbury Green looking attractive. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Enjoy yourself this summer,

Roberta, 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.

Pet Etiquette

In accordance with Concord City Ordinance all pet owners must have their dogs on a leash outside their apartment at all times AND be sure to pick up after them and dispose your bag IN THE DUMPSTER. This is your home as well as your neighbors, be a responsible & respectful pet owner. To the many pet owners who already do this we say THANK YOU!

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.

Community Announcements

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

Pay Your Rent the Easy Way, Online!

Many residents have been paying their rent online for the convenience and the reliability of being on time and charged a late fee. If you are considering paying online you will need an ID number from Roberta at the rental office, just call (603) 224-9130. Once you have obtained the ID number, head to hodgescompanies.com or click here and select "Apartment Community Payments" which will bring you to Zego. From here, you must set up your Zego account with your bank. You have the option of paying with a Credit or Debit card for a small fee. If you have questions, feel free to give us a call.

Security Tips

We would like to remind our residents that their cooperation with our security programs helps to keep Salisbury Green 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 and do not keep valuable items in your car.

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.
