Maintenance is mixed
Maintenance quality varies, with both praise for fast fixes and complaints about unresolved issues.
Some residents say maintenance responds quickly and handles repair requests professionally, with a few naming specific staff members for thorough service. Others are critical about maintenance effectiveness, including claims about delayed follow-up and items not being resolved after reports are made. Taken together, residents do not describe consistent outcomes when problems come up.
