Emergency Maintenance Response Procedure

Maintenance staff are allowed to respond during non-business hours only to true emergency situations. Work order charges may be applied in certain cases. Emergency maintenance work orders are only for repair needs which threaten the life, health, or safety of a resident or could cause extreme damage to property.

Emergency work orders in one or more of these categories may be reported by calling the maintenance department.
