Being a good neighbor

The City of Richmond’s Guide to Being a Good Neighbor provides clear, helpful tips on common city rules – from managing trash and noise to looking after our pets and sidewalks. We encourage everyone to review this guide as a simple way to help maintain the peaceful and welcoming environment we value here in Ginter Park Terrace.

Home fire safety

While we cherish the historic charm of Ginter Park Terrace, our century-old homes require a little extra vigilance when it comes to fire safety. With our aging electrical systems and cozy fireplaces, staying proactive is the key to a safe community.

A few fire safety tips:

• Ensure you have working alarms on every floor and inside every bedroom.
• Keep anything that can burn at least three feet away from space heaters or fireplaces.
• If you still have original knob-and-tube wiring or notice flickering lights, have a licensed electrician inspect your wiring.
• Make sure you know two ways to exit your home in case of an emergency.
