      What to expect next...

      Maintenance work orders are assigned, scheduled, and completed in the order in which they are received, with emergencies taking precedence. 

      When a work order is submitted, it is assigned to a technician or vendor within one business day. From there, technicians will attempt several times over the next 3 business days to schedule a service window.

      Action Taken Turnaround Conditions
      The work order is submitted 1st business day  
      The work order is assigned 24-72 hours  Based on urgency
      The work order is scheduled Conditional Based on tenant responsiveness
      A bid is submitted for approval Conditional Conditional
      A bid is approved  Conditional Conditional
      The work order is completed Conditional  

      If our staff cannot reach or get a response from the tenant, they will close the work order assuming that the reported issue has been resolved and the tenant no longer desires service. 

      Please note that some instances that delay scheduling or completion are out of our control. For instance, if there is a disaster that has affected a population of people, causing an influx of work for vendors (ex., flood or fire), supply delays, etc.
