House Rules at The Clocktower

Door Locks

After you enter, ALWAYS keep DEADBOLT on entry door HORIZONTAL to assure it’s locked.  You can exit without turning the deadbolt, just push down on door leaver, push open and shut tightly behind you.

Stairway to Peacefulness

You can lock the upper door for added security. If you happen to find the upper door locked, there is a spare key above the window trim at the top of the stairs. Please return the key immediately so it's ready for the next use.

Take a Load Off Your Feet

Please help us preserve our floors and remove wet shoes to the mats at the top of the stairs.

Trash and Recyclables

Trash can be placed in the tall black container next to sink cabinet. If it's full or you've thrown out food items, please toss the bag into the trash can with the green lid in front of the building. A recycling bin is beneath the sink, the blue lid container outside is for recyclable items.

Fire and Ice

Stove:  The loft has a gas cook top so sometimes you may need to turn the gas burner knob(s) on a bit before the flame ignites. Then adjust burner flame to proper temperature. Please do not use cook top or oven to heat apartment.

Icemaker: Should you need additional ice from the freezer, simply tap the metal arm on icemaker into the downward position and then back up when no further ice is required.

Hot Water: The apartment uses an on-demand hot water heater. It will take a few seconds for the heater to kick in once you turn the hot water on.
