Snow provides a wintry atmosphere and light, but it also means work for Heka's employees and residents. This winter reminder gives you advice on how to keep the yard and other outdoor areas of your home functional and safe in winter, and how to regulate the temperature in your home. Heka's property maintenance operatives do the snow work in the yard and take care of gritting, but residents also have their own responsibilities.
The first phase of the renovation of Kontulankaari 24 will be completed at the end of April. The application period for apartments has begun and will continue as long as apartments are available.
The new Heka location Mestarintie 18 in rapidly developing Oulunkylä will be completed in May. The location includes 47 apartments.
The new Heka location Melkinlaituri 4 in Jätkäsaari includes 69 new apartments. The application period for the apartments starts on Tuesday 10 February. You can apply for the apartments by submitting an application to the City of Helsinki.
Most Heka properties have dedicated civil defence shelters, in addition to which some areas in Helsinki have area-specific civil defence shelters. Under normal circumstances, the shelters of apartment buildings are usually used for storing movable property. Thanks to regular inspections, the civil defence shelters of Heka buildings can be deployed within 72 hours, if necessary.
A working fire alarm can save your life. Heka has installed fire alarms in all apartments, but it is the responsibility of the resident to test them.

This winter reminder gives you advice on how to keep the yard and other outdoor areas of your home functional and safe in winter, and how to regulate the temperature in your home. Heka’s property maintenance operatives do the snow work in the yard and take care of gritting, but residents also have their own responsibilities.
Life circumstances or housing needs can change quickly and your current home may no longer be suitable for you. In this event, you can apply to switch from one Heka apartment to another.
Heka will complete its new property at Maustetehtaankatu 2 in Aurinkolahti, Vuosaari, at the end of February. The apartments range from studios to four-room family apartments. The application period for the apartments starts on Tuesday 2 December. You can apply for the apartments by submitting an application to the City of Helsinki.
In future, the short-term subleasing of Heka apartments is prohibited and apartments can no longer be subleased through Airbnb, for example. Until now, Heka tenants were allowed to sublease their apartment to another person for a short period of time with Heka’s permission.
