Be a Good Neighbor

Be a Good Neighbor

Parties/Noise

  • Keep parties fairly small, ideally with 3-4 guests per tenant.
  • Pick outside trash up promptly after a party.
  • Make sure your guests follow parking regulations.
  • Use respectable language while outside.
  • Keep the noise level low, especially at night when neighbors are sleeping.
  • Let your neighbors know a day or two in advance of your party. Give them your phone number so they can call you, instead of police, if there is a problem.
  • Encourage your guests to use indoor restrooms.
  • Don’t use beer ads, bottles or cans as decorations on your porch or in windows.
  • Keep your party inside and quiet after 11 p.m. Toledo has a noise ordinance.

Trash

  • Keep our property, the sidewalks and streets free of litter.
  • When there is a holiday during the week, trash pickup is delayed one weekday and continues on this schedule until the next holiday. The pickup is again delayed on weekdays and continues on this schedule until the next holiday.
  • To have large items picked up once per month without charge, call 419.936.2511.
  • Trash collectors will not take tires, batteries or motor oil.

General Tips

  • Say “hello” to your neighbors.
  • Offer to help elderly neighbors with jobs such as shoveling sidewalks or raking leaves.
  • Make sure you and your guests respect the property of others.
  • Trade phone numbers with your neighbors.

Animals

  • When your dog is outside, keep him/her in a fenced-in area or on a leash.
  • Clean up after your dog, both in your yard and when you take him/her for a walk.
  • Keep cats in the house.
  • Keep your dog from barking continuously.
  • Take your pets to the vet for checkups and shots, as needed.
  • Make sure your dogs have a valid license.

Parking

  • When parking on the street, don’t block a neighbor’s driveway.
  • Don’t block sidewalks or park in yards – it is illegal.
  • Don’t park to close to stop signs or fire hydrants.
