What do I do if I have a maintenance request?

Please call the Rental Office during business hours, or submit an online request. Please be aware that a resident’s request for service is deemed permission to enter the apartment.

For emergencies, there are staff members available whenever the office is closed. An emergency is anything that cannot wait to be handled until office hours resume. Examples are heat problems, water leaks or a lack of water, an inoperable toilet (if you have only one in your apartment), getting locked out of your apartment and noise problems. You may obtain the number for emergency maintenance by calling the Rental Office and listening to the automated message.
