To All NorthSteppe Realty Tenants:

Tragedy struck our community last weekend. A campus house fire caused by arson claimed the lives of five people and injured three others. This tragedy gives us all cause to review safety steps and procedures.

We urge all tenants in the campus area to take this occasion to thoughly review all smoke detectors and exits at their properties. Smoke detectors should be inspected and tested each month to ensure that the device is working properly and the battery is fully charged. All exits must be accessible and not blocked or rendered unusable in an emergency.

City of Columbus Code prohibits the use of any couches, overstuffed chairs or any flammable furniture on any porch. If you have such furniture on your porch please remove immediately. 

Please notify maintenance immediately (614) 617-6900 if you find any smoke detector or fire control device not working properly. Tenants are responsible to maintain and replace batteries that are not charged. NorthSteppe will repair or replace any device that fails to operate properly. 

Together we can hopefully prevent another such tragedy.
