Living in a comfortable and well-maintained apartment makes all the difference. At Northtowne Properties, we pride ourselves on providing exactly that. While we have a fantastic maintenance team ready to handle bigger issues, there are simple things you, as a resident, can do to keep your Northtowne apartment in top shape and prevent minor problems from escalating.

Easy Everyday Maintenance Wins:

  • Keep it Clean: Regular cleaning is the first line of defense against many maintenance issues. Wipe down spills immediately, clean your kitchen and bathroom regularly to prevent grime buildup, and vacuum or sweep floors to avoid dirt accumulation.
  • Proper Ventilation: Ensure good airflow, especially in the kitchen and bathroom. Use exhaust fans when cooking or showering to prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to mold and mildew.
  • Mind the Drains: Be mindful of what goes down your drains. Avoid pouring grease or large food particles down the kitchen sink and prevent hair from clogging bathroom drains. Run hot water down drains periodically to help keep them clear.
  • Test Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors: Your safety is our priority. Regularly test the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in your unit to ensure they are functioning correctly. If you have any concerns about their operation, contact our maintenance team immediately.
  • Change Light Bulbs: Replace burnt-out light bulbs promptly to ensure proper lighting and safety.
