Fire Prevention & Carbon Monoxide Detection
Make sure your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are functioning properly. Test your detectors monthly and change the battery at least once a year. Springing forward an hour for Daylight Savings is a good reminder. If you are a Hayes Properties tenant and your smoke or carbon monoxide detectors are not working, please contact us at 773-929-7050.
