To learn more about the Point of Sale process, please see the Point Of Sale Information at this site or contact the Building Department at 440-516-3000. The full point of sale packet is below under "supporting documents".

Carbon monoxide detectors trigger an alarm based on an accumulation of carbon monoxide over time. Carbon monoxide can harm you if you are exposed to high levels of carbon monoxide in a short period of time, or to lower levels of carbon monoxide over a long period of time. Carbon monoxide detectors require a continuous power supply, so if the power cuts off then the alarm becomes ineffective. Models are available that offer back-up battery power.

Carbon monoxide is an odorless, tasteless, invisible gas. Each carbon monoxide molecule is composed of a single carbon atom bonded to a single oxygen atom. Carbon monoxide results from the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, such as wood, kerosene, gasoline, charcoal, propane, natural gas, and oil.

Because carbon monoxide is slightly lighter than air and also because it may be found with warm, rising air, detectors should be placed on a wall about 5 feet above the floor. The detector may be placed on the ceiling. Do not place the detector right next to or over a fireplace or flame-producing appliance. Keep the detector out of the way of pets and children. Each floor needs a separate detector. If you getting a single carbon monoxide detector, place it near the sleeping area and make certain the alarm is loud enough to wake you up.

Once your address is listed on your community’s Do Not Knock registry, you should not receive any more for-profit salesman at your door. However, if a for-profit salesman does come to your door, tell them you’re registered with the Do Not Knock program. If the salesman persists, you can inform them you’ll be reporting them to the Willowick Police Department, which could result in fines or worse.

If it’s a utility salesman, you can also file a report with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio.

We try to keep the work to the outside of the home.  We will occasionally work inside the home for emergency situations.

In 2009, ordinance 351.03 PROHIBITED PARKING OR STANDING PLACES, was revised so that a parked vehicle had to be at least 50 feet from the crosswalk at an intersection and / or 50 feet from a traffic control device such as a stop sign, or traffic light. In general, the average Willowick residential lot is 50 feet wide so a vehicle should be at least one house width distance from these markers.

Although there are other parking restrictions such as for handicap, firelane, night parking etc. I am posting the general parking prohibitions below so that residents can be aware of them and call the Police Dept. to report violations.

(a) No person shall stand or park a vehicle, except when necessary to avoid conflict with other traffic or to comply with the provisions of this title, or while obeying the directions of a police officer or a traffic-control device, in any of the following places:

(1) On a sidewalk or street lawn area, except a bicycle;

(2) In front of a public or private driveway;

(3) Within an intersection;

(4) Within 10 feet of a fire hydrant, under any circumstances, on the fire hydrant side of any street. The “fire hydrant side” of a street, as used in this subsection, means the entire length of that side of a street which abuts the portion of the right-of-way in which fire hydrants are located.

(5) On a crosswalk;

(6) Within 50 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection;

(7) Within 50 feet of, and upon the approach to, any flashing beacon, stop sign, or traffic-control device;

(8) Between a safety zone and the adjacent curb or within 30 feet of points on the curb immediately opposite the ends of a safety zone, unless a different length is indicated by a traffic-control device;

(9) Within 50 feet of the nearest rail of a railroad crossing;

(10) Within 20 feet of a driveway entrance to any fire station and, on the side of the street opposite the entrance to any fire station, within 75 feet of the entrance when it is properly posted with signs;

(11) Alongside or opposite any street excavation or obstruction when such standing or parking would obstruct traffic;

(12) Alongside any vehicle stopped or parked at the edge or curb of a street;

(13) Upon any bridge or elevated structure upon a highway, or within a highway tunnel;

(14) At any place where signs prohibit stopping;

(15) Within one foot of another parked vehicle;

(16) On the roadway portion of a freeway, expressway, or thruway.

(17) Upon that area of private property located within a state or city “right-of- way” at any time other than during the posted hours or operation of the business having title or interest in said private parking area.

All EMERGENCIES should be called in to 911. This will, in most cases, enable the dispatcher to know the location where the call is originating. We ask that people remain on the line if 911 is called accidentally. A police officer will be dispatched, regardless, to insure that there are no problems. All non-emergency and other calls should be made to 440-585-1234.
