Maintenance FAQ

For non-emergency repairs, submit a work order in your Resident Portal ↗. Describe the issue, identify the location in the apartment, and attach photos if helpful.

Please use the portal rather than text messages for routine maintenance so requests can be properly documented and tracked. If you cannot access the portal, call or email the office.

Our dedicated maintenance team reviews incoming requests, evaluates urgency, and arranges appropriate follow-up. We may contact you for additional details or to schedule access. Please keep your contact information current and monitor your portal for updates.

Timing depends on the urgency of the condition, access, parts, vendor availability, and the work required. We prioritize safety and essential services. For an update, review your request in the Resident Portal or contact our office. We do not promise a fixed completion time for every repair.

Determine whether the outage affects your apartment or the surrounding neighborhood. For service interruptions, check SDG&E ↗. If the problem is limited to your unit, submit a maintenance request. For sparking, overheating, exposed wiring, or another immediate hazard, contact emergency maintenance or 911 as appropriate.

Leave the area immediately. From a safe location, call 911 or SDG&E's emergency service. Do not operate switches or appliances or try to locate the leak yourself. After emergency personnel or the utility has been contacted, notify the office.
