Business Property Maintenance Code 12 Point Pledge

A prosperous business starts with a nice place to do business in.

As a member in good faith of the Abington Business Community, I pledge to do my part in keeping Abington an attractive and pristine place to invite customers and conduct business.  I will maintain my business property according to the
ABC Guidelines:

  1.   I will keep all outward appearances and business building elements in good and
        proper  repair. 
 
  2.   I will follow buildings color schemes that compliment the area character as
        opposed  to  using disjoining materials or loud color schemes.
 
  3.   I will periodically wash my business window panes and keep approximately 75% of
        my window area  free and clear of signage and lettering.
 
  4.  I will promptly replace any damaged or faded business signs or awnings on my
        property using quality materials.
 
  5.  I will not install any signs on the building, on the sidewalk or elsewhere not
        permitted under zoning ordinance.
 
  6.     I will remove all trash and debris from the property, sidewalk and parking lot daily.
 
  7.   I will not place trash out for pickup along the front property sooner than 24 hours
        prior to Township pickup, and I will arrange for appropriate number of pick-ups by
        my private hauler to avoid trash buildup on the site.

  8.   I will periodically clean the public sidewalk and parking lots areas by sweeping or
        hosing the areas clean.
 
  9.   I will regularly cut any lawn area on the premises so grass is not taller than 6
        inches, and remove all weeds, grass, moss and the like developing in cracks,
        curbs and sidewalks along the premises.
 
10.   I will keep all landscape beds, green areas and sidewalk tree pits clean and
       weed-free.  I will encourage quality landscape by caring for and supplementing
       original plantings with seasonal plant treatments and replacements.
 
11.   I will not store business materials outside the building in public view, and will keep
       all legal storage areas and trash areas tidy and screened from public view.
 
12.  I will promptly repair or replace all cracked and broken curbs and sidewalks along
        my property to avoid trip hazards and lawsuits.

 These standards were developed by a business/resident committee.
