Vehicle Parking


PARKING STICKERS: All complexes with student housing buildings have a parking sticker policy. Please check with your building manager for specific parking policies for your complex. Everyone parking in the apartment complex lot or garages will be required to have a parking sticker properly displayed in their vehicle. All vehicles without stickers are subject to being towed at the owner’s expense. Northern Management has established this policy to allow our residents to have the most ample amount of space possible to park their vehicle. It is the resident’s responsibility to notify their family and friends of this policy. Also note that the electrical plug-ins available by the parking lot are on a first come first serve basis unless otherwise stipulated. Items that residents should be aware of:

PARKING LOT: The parking lot will be checked regularly by the Resident Manager or monitored randomly by the local contracted towing company. Disabled vehicles, snowbirds and junkers are defined as "vehicles that cannot regularly maneuver under their own power and cannot be moved on a minutes notice." Under this category would also include any vehicles with flat tires, missing windows or any vehicle that is an obvious “eyesore” to the parking lot. These vehicles and unlicensed or expired vehicles will be towed at the owner's expense. The maximum speed limit in the parking lot is 5 miles per hour.

Vehicles being operated in a reckless manner, (speeding, squealing tires, etc.) will be reported to the authorities, and may subject the permit-holder to the loss of the parking permit and/or towing of the vehicle. Vehicles should never be parked in front of sidewalks. This request is for the convenience of all people who like to walk on the sidewalks. Trucks, buses, campers, boats, trailers and other large vehicles may be parked in the parking lot only with written permission from Northern Management and in spaces specifically indicated by Northern Management. In order to maintain the appearance and condition of our complex and out of consideration for all residents, vehicles are not to be washed or repaired in the parking lots. IF YOU LEAVE THE AREA FOR ANY TIME, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE MADE ARRANGEMENTS FOR SOMEONE TO MOVE YOUR CAR. THERE WILL BE OCCASIONS WHEN THE PARKING LOT MUST BE CLEARED,ESPECIALLY FOR SNOW REMOVAL. ON SUCH OCCASIONS, ALL VEHICLES MUST BE REMOVED OR THEY WILL BE TOWED AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE.

Motorbikes, motor scooters, motorcycles, bicycles, and other similar vehicles are to be driven only on the streets. They are to be parked only in authorized parking areas and a piece of wood MUST be placed under the kickstand to prevent damage to the blacktop. Residents will be charged for any damage to the parking lot. Specifically, they are not to be parked in building entrances, halls, apartments or on the grounds or sidewalks.


SNOW REMOVAL: When a snowfall occurs, the normal procedure is that the plowing company will make a pass through the parking lot to allow people to exit the lot. The Resident Manager will then make arrangements to have the lot completely cleared. At our community college housing complexes, the Resident Manager will post signs in each building after an appreciable snowfall (2+”) informing residents and visitors when all the vehicles should be removed from the lot. This will typically occur within 8 to 24 hours of the snowfall.

At all other complexes, the snow removal policy is posted in November and a packet of information is distributed to each apartment explaining our snow plowing policies and procedures. Specific notices are not posted after each snowfall at these sites. The plowing company has requested that ALL vehicles be removed from the lot before plowing takes place, so residents must keep and eye out after each snowfall to ensure that their vehicle is removed promptly. Typically the plowing will only be done on weekdays, but occasionally it may need to be done on a weekend. Any vehicle that is not removed from the parking lot will be towed at the vehicle owner’s expense. If you are planning to be out of town during any of the winter months, it is the resident’s responsibility to make other arrangements to have the vehicle removed from the lot.
