MANAGERS’ MESSAGE
The Gresham Fire Department has received several complaints regarding cars parked in the fire lane. Parking on the street for any length of time is a violation. The fire department will issue a warning for the first violation, and a $85 ticket for any further violations. They have also asked us to tow all vehicles parked in the fire lanes.
Please remember, rent payments must be in the exact amount due each month. If the amount is incorrect, the payment will be returned to the resident for correction, causing the rent payment to possibly be late, generating a late fee of $50. To prevent late fees we have forms that you can sign to have the rent withdrawn from your account each month. We also have access to a portal that you can manage your payments. Please contact the Columbia Heights office for further information.
Thank you,
Linda & Rich Fandrey Community Managers of Columbia Heights
