    Moving In

    To facilitate a smooth and pleasant move-in day please read the following information about moving into your new apartment with The Copley Group. Prior to move-in, every apartment is cleaned, inspected and serviced by our maintenance department, and supplied with a brand new toilet seat, plunger and shower curtain. To ensure this service is completed, we assign a specific time for key pickup.

    Key Pickup

    Key pickup occurs on the first day of your lease unless you request a delayed move-in or would like your apartment to be painted and/or have the floors treated with polyurethane.

    Keys are picked up at our maintenance office:
    106 Queensberry Street
    Boston, MA 02215

    You may arrange with your broker to pick up the keys for you. Keys are available for pickup as soon as your apartment is ready for occupancy, which typically is between 2pm–5pm. Please schedule your moving truck to arrive AFTER 5pm as we cannot guarantee occupancy prior to 5pm.

    Moving Van Permit

    You will need to apply for a 1-Day Moving Van Permit from the City which allows the permit holder to restrict access to a portion of the street for a specified length of time. This is essentially reserved parking for your moving truck. Please take advantage of this service as The Copley Group does not have the ability to provide temporary parking permits.

    Mailbox

    You will receive a blank label at key pickup. Please write your last name(s) on the label and place it inside the mailbox on the back wall. Please note your mail may not be delivered if you do not do so.

    Quality Assurance

    After moving in, if you are not satisfied with the condition of the apartment, please call our maintenance office and we will attend to the situation as soon as possible.

After two payments have been returned for insufficient funds, all further payments must be remitted in the form of a money order or certified check.

    Maintenance Office and Emergency Response Guidelines

    The Copley Group Maintenance Office provides 24-hour, 7-days-a-week maintenance service to its residents. Our goal is that all maintenance requests will be handled within 48 hours.

    Non-Emergency Maintenance Requests

    Residents can place service requests via phone or their online portal. To place a maintenance request by phone, please call 617-536-9339.

    Emergency Maintenance Requests

    Emergency maintenance requests include no heat, no hot water, water leaking into the apartment, overflowing plumbing fixtures, lock-outs*, and fires**.

    1. Emergencies occurring during Regular Business Hours:
      Call 617-536-9339
    2. After Hours, Weekends and Holidays ONLY:
      Call 781-642-1576
      This service is for emergencies after hours, on weekends, or on holidays only. Please do not call this number for routine maintenance issues or for emergencies occurring during regular business hours. It is extremely important that the After Hours number be called in emergency situations only. Non-emergency calls made to this number impair our ability to respond to actual emergency situations.

    *Lock-outs during regular business hours will be serviced by our maintenance department at no additional charge. If you lock yourself out of your apartment after our regular business hours or on a weekend or holiday, please call the emergency service. There is a $50.00 fee (paid in the form of cash at the time of entry) for this service. The Copley Group will not give entry to anyone whose name is not on the lease. You must provide positive identification that you are the occupant of the unit, or you will not be provided access to the apartment.

    **If there is a fire, call the fire department first, and then call the After Hours maintenance number.

    Parking

    The Copley Group offers parking space rentals for residents and non-residents. For information regarding private, off-street parking, contact our Leasing Coordinator at 617-262-3930 or leasing@thecopleygroup.com. If you would like to rent a parking space, we will send you a Parking Agreement. Once we receive the completed form and payment, we will provide you with a sticker to place on the inside left of your car windshield.

    If your car is registered in the City of Boston, you may apply for a resident parking sticker. This permit will allow you to park overnight on neighborhood streets. For more information regarding resident permits, contact the Office of the Parking Clerk at 617-635-4410. Boston Resident Parking Permit applications may be found on the City of Boston’s website.

    Recycling

    The Copley Group provides recycling centers at 16-20 Queensberry Street (basement level courtyard) and 36-40 Queensberry Street (basement level courtyard).

    We encourage all of our residents to participate in our recycling program. Recycling is even easier now that Boston has implemented One Source Recycling. This means that anything that can be recycled may be placed in a container together (cans, glasses, paper, etc.) and no longer need to be separated. For Fenway Residents, plastic bags may be recycled at Shaw’s supermarket on Boylston Street in the bin by the checkout counters. For all other residents, plastic bags may be recycled at most supermarkets.
