Parking note:
– A city-issued street parking permit is provided and if there are no parking lots in the street directly in front, there should be ample lots in the next block.

Also, there may be an active pest control plan which may include baits (e.g. ant bait) inside the home. They are usually placed where children and pets can’t reach them, but please do not leave pets and children unattended.
