638 Congress Street

Trash
A dumpster is located in the back of the Lafayette parking lot for use by tenants in disposing household trash only.  All trash must be in closed trash bags; no loose items may be placed in or around the dumpster. You are not required to use the blue city of Portland trash bags. Should you leave any trash in or around the building or grounds and/or any large items in or around the dumpster, building, or grounds, you will be charged for removal & disposal.

Recycling
A recycling dumpster is located behind the trash dumpster. You can find the City of Portland’s recycling guide here: http://www.ecomaine.org/recycling-and-waste-disposal/single-sort-guide/.

Laundry
The laundry room is located near the back entrance of the building and all machines are coin operated.  In an effort to ensure minimal disruptions to your neighbors we require that you refrain from using the laundry facilities before 8:00 a.m. and after 8:00 p.m.

Door Bell/Buzzer
To use the buzzer you need to have a telephone; it can be a landline or cell. Email your assistant property manager with the phone number you would like connected to the buzzer system. Once you’re in the system, if your guest pushes your name, your telephone will ring. After you answer the call, you will have 20 seconds to talk to the person and decide if you want to buzz them in. To do so, push 5 on your telephone keypad. You can hang up if you don’t want the guest to come in.

Parking
Parking in the lot is strictly prohibited without a parking pass!  If you park in the lot without a visible pass, your vehicle will likely be towed at your own expense.  For information about on-street parking please ask for the City of Portland parking guide. If you have leased a parking space with your apartment, please follow the PPM Parking Policy.

Mail
Mailboxes are located in the lobby to the right of the elevator.
