What is ResideBPG doing to help prevent the spread of COVID-19? 

Our staff and cleaning contractors are currently using antibacterial solutions to disinfect all common areas, and we have instructed them to pay close attention to high traffic areas like elevators, lobbies, etc. We’ve provided disinfectant, antibacterial wipes, and receptacles in each community’s lobby and have encouraged residents to wipe down regularly used surfaces, such as elevator buttons and door handles, prior to use.

Our offices will remain open to support our residents, however we will be practicing social distancing for both our safety. Residents should contact their management team by phone or email with all inquiries or questions rather than visit the office.

Our employees are screened each day by a health care professional to make sure they are clear to work. All employees are required to wear masks, follow the recommended protocol for proper handwashing/sanitizing, and practice 6-foot social distancing.

Residents are required to wear a mask whenever outside of their apartment home, including in elevators, hallways, lobbies, and stairwells. Cloth face coverings can be fashioned from household items. Medical-grade masks should be reserved for healthcare professionals. 

For all amenities, we have an online scheduling tool to limit usage and maximize social distancing. Refer to the chatbot in the bottom right corner of the website and select “Current Residents”.
