Residents are required to take their trash to the dumpsters outside their buildings. Housekeeping handles trash and recycling removal from lobbies, lounges, laundry rooms, and common bathrooms twice a day, ensuring clean and welcoming common areas.
Air Conditioned Building with Seasonal Transitioning
Somerset Hall operates on a seasonal heating and cooling schedule, with transitions typically occurring in April and October. Depending on the season, heated or chilled water circulates through the pipes to regulate room temperature. Each unit is equipped with a fan coil unit for air circulation, and Residential Facilities maintenance staff monitor supply temperatures daily to ensure comfort.
