For our RESIDENTS

This weekend is the 10 year anniversary of when the first set of residents started to move in to the Fairmont Creamery. 

Shout out to my originals!  Thanks for being the first ones and for being patient while we fixed the heat🙏😂. What an adventure!  We are very grateful for you.  I love following you on here and seeing your adventures, life changes and families. 

When we pitched banks and investors and tax credit providers on being involved in the Creamery, we talked about how it could have a catalytic impact on our side of Tremont.  I think history has proven us right and the ripple effect has been impactful 

Since this project we’ve seen a ton of activity near us.  Some we’ve initiated, other projects have been taken on by different groups.  Hopefully we were a  small spark 

Everything good  is two steps forward,/one step back, but I’d argue that our area has developed as organically as any in Cleveland and displaced very few (the great thing about historic preservation). We have a local gym, bakery, plant store, hair salon, chocolate shop, people who have opened offices etc and added a ton of middle class people to the neighborhood (nurses, teachers, medical residents, etc). Plus the existing businesses who made investments long before us!

Cheers to 10 years, and everyone doing what they can to be kind, support local businesses, look out for your neighbor and continuing to grow the soul of our neighborhood for years to come

🙏,
Josh
I asked our team for some small business shop recommendations (outside of the stores in our buildings) to help with your gift buying:

Aireonna — @78ststudios — there’s a ton of artists and small businesses at 78th and multiple events there, including Cleveland bazaar Dec 13-15

Al - @somethingdifferentgallery in Ohio City which is both a gallery and a gift shop

Logan — He really wanted to say the @cleguardians team shop, but since we encouraged him to branch out 🙂 he is offering @citygoodscle in Hingetown 

Chris — @joymachines if you are looking for anything bike related and @verticalrunner for the runner in your life

Devin - @sunshinehq200 for gifts and accessories 🙂

Josh — @visiblevoicebooks and @loganberrybooks for the readers in your life. 

Regardless of where you go, try to keep if as local as possible

Ok, the dredded topic:  Snow

We will have more info on preparing for the snow in the days to come, but in the meantime I wanted to share a resource for us all to bookmark:  https://www.clevelandohio.gov/city-hall/departments/public-works/divisions/streets/snow-map

This looks like a pretty basic site but is super useful.  It functions sort of like those trackers you can use to see when your Amazon package is coming. 

You are able to tell when  our roads are scheduled to be plowed, how close they are to coming etc. 

The City does not plow SCAs lots — our snow removal vendor does that for us.  But this site does let you know how easy it might be for you once you exit our lot and head on out to work on city streets

More snow info soon,
Josh

Frequently Asked Questions

All of our communities are pet friendly - no extra monthly fees/deposits needed. We just ask you let us know you have a pet before signing your lease, or obtain our permission before getting one if you already live with us. Generally, we have a 2 pet limit, however we are open to exceptions on an individual basis. You must have your pet on a leash in all common areas, and pick up after your dog.

Maintenance requests should be submitted using this form and are usually responded to/resolved within 1-2 business days. See the video guide below for how our maintenance process works. If this is a true emergency, please contact the emergency phone line in our maintenance form.

Residents are strictly prohibited from subleasing their unit or listing it on a timeshare service such as AirBNB. The security of our residents is paramount to us, and we want to ensure that we know who is coming and going from all of our facilities.

What can I put on my wall?

Make your apartment feel like a home. We are not looking to subtract from your security deposit for normal holes in the drywall, like putting up art or mounting a TV. The walls in all of our buildings have wood studs. Do not drill into any brick.

I'm having thermostat issues – what do I do?

If your thermostat reads an error, contact us right away. We have a contract with Brewer-Garrett HVAC Service. They will come out as soon as possible, typically within 24 hours.

Will you change my HVAC filter?

We will come by every 3 months to change your HVAC filter for you.

Is my building cleaned regularly? 

All of our buildings are cleaned 5 days a week. Be sure to say hi to our wonderful custodial team!

Does SCA recycle and compost?

We recycle at all of our buildings. Recycling is available in the trash room on your floor. Instructions on what can be recycled are in each trash room and in your orientation packet.

The Fairmont Creamery, West 17th Street Townhomes, and The Lincoln share one compost bin. The Tappan and Wagner Awning have their own. Instructions on what can be composted are provided in orientation packets.

Who handles snow removal at SCA properties?

In the winter, we work with MVP Snow Removal to keep all of our surface parking lots and sidewalks free from snow/ice. Below are some helpful do’s and dont’s for winter weather:

When will I receive an option to renew my lease? 

Our leases are 12 months. We will give you a 60 day notice with the option to renew the lease or let us know you will be moving.

What amenities do I have access to as an SCA resident?

All of our residents have access to outdoor space, a 24-hour fitness center, a pet wash, and roof deck.

Tremont Athletic Club are our long time partners, located at the Fairmont Creamery. Residents in any of our buildings can receive a discounted membership for as long as you live with us. Contact TAC for more details here.

How do I change the batteries in my gate/garage opener?

Leaving anything with a battery in cold temperatures can greatly reduce its lifetime. We recommend bringing in your parking lot remote every night to extend the battery's life. We also recommend changing your remote's battery once a year to prevent it from dying unexpectedly. Replacement batteries can be found at most stores and online!

For The Tappan parking lots and The Creamery garage remotes, use a Lithium 2032 battery.

For The Lincoln garage remotes, use a AAA battery.

For the Barber parking lot remotes, use a 9V battery.

You can view a tutorial video here to learn how to change yours!
