Winter Weather Safety

With these shorter days and colder nights, it’s just a matter of time before temperatures start to drop below freezing causing any rain or dew to freeze. We urge all residents and their guests to please use caution, drive slowly, and watch for black ice or slippery conditions. Please report any icy or slippery conditions to the office so our staff may address these issues. We want to be sure everyone is safe.

During this time of year, the freezing temps outside paired with the warmth coming from inside your apartment can create condensation or ice on the windows within your home. To avoid water stains or mildew from accumulating please be sure to wipe away any moisture that may accumulate on the windowsill area.

Holiday Package Precautions

As the holiday season quickly approaches there will be an increase in package delivery full of gifts for friends and family.

We encourage you to take extra precautions when setting up deliveries. Here are a few ways to ensure your package gets to you:

Set delivery times for when you are available to directly receive the delivery or require a signature.
Make arrangements with a trusted neighbor or relative to receive your packages.
Deliver packages to your place of work if you have the ability.
Track your deliveries.

If these options are not available, we encourage you to insure any valuable packages. We also encourage our residents to lock their vehicles and take any personal and valuable items inside! We hope residents will take these precautions with the result being safe delivery of their cherished gifts.

Snowstorm Procedures

It’s the time of year when we must ask for your cooperation with our snow removal efforts. With the winter month’s upon us we would like to remind everyone that while the men are plowing, other than parking in your carport, the ultimate support would be for you to clean your car off and move it to a location that has already been plowed.

If that is not possible, we ask that you move your car at least once every 12 hours during a storm. This is important as the plow team is contracted to perform snow removal during the snowstorm and return the following day for final cleanup. If a storm occurs overnight, please move your vehicle as soon as possible the next morning.

Additionally, please ensure that children do not play in snowbanks along any roadways or parking lots while our snow removal teams are cleaning up after each storm. In general, please stay out of the way of snowplow and large equipment while they are performing their clean up. Thank you for your anticipated understanding and cooperation!

Attention Pet Owners

As a convenience to our residents with pets we have installed new Pet Waste Bag Stations in the Main Entry Area of each building next to the intercom. Please be a responsible pet owner and take a bag or two with you when you’re checking your mail or going out for a walk. We would like to remind all residents that in accordance with City Ordinance all pet owners should pick up after their animal and dispose of the bag in the dumpster.

By working together, we can keep our community clean, and beautiful, as well as maintain the quality of living that Meadowbrook Village is known for!

Pay Your Rent Online with Zego Pay!

Meadowbrook Village offers residents the ability to pay online through Zego Pay.

Interested in paying online? First, contact your property manager to get your Lease ID, you'll need this to register to Zego, and then go to gozego.com to register.

Safety Reminder

I would like to take this opportunity to remind residents of ways to remain safe within our community

Children continue to play outside on a daily basis. Please keep this in mind as you are driving and respect the 10 mph speed limit.
Please remind children to avoid playing in snowbanks while our grounds team is clearing snow from the roads and parking lots.
For all the walkers and runners out there, it is safer to walk/run against traffic so that you can see what is approaching. Please wear reflective clothing at night!
Do not allow outsiders access to your building if you do not know who they are. The security door and system is in place for the protection of you and your neighbors.

Live Christmas Tree Care & Disposal

If you are planning to get a live tree this year, it is very important to keep it well-watered during the holiday season! Fresh trees should be watered at least twice a day with lukewarm water. Also, it is very important that any Christmas tree should be kept at least 5-6 inches away from any heat source. When the time comes for you to dispose of your live tree, please put it in a tree bag (available at stores like Walmart) and place it next to the dumpster, but please ensure you do not block the dumpster for other residents. Please do not drag your unwrapped tree through the hallways and do not throw trees over balconies.

We appreciate your help with this!

Trash Disposal Reminder

Management would like to ask our residents to dispose of their trash in the dumpster closest in proximity to their building as it will greatly reduce overflow situations. During the holiday season residents will be making an above average amount of purchases online and goods will be delivered to residents in cardboard boxes. Please break down cardboard boxes before placing them in the dumpsters. When not broken down first, an accumulation of empty boxes can greatly reduce the capacity of the dumpsters for other residents. Please be a good neighbor and reduce the boxes down so they are flat before placing them in the dumpster.
