In an emergency, rapid response is critical.
When there is a global issue at a property – such as a water main break, a special assessment or maintenance increase – the property manager adds a “property note” in Connect with details of the situation and status of resolution. This note pops up immediately in Connect, enabling our customer care specialists to provide callers with the most up to date information. If the property manager is on vacation, a “property note” is added so the representatives are aware of all back-up contacts.If your apartment floods in the middle of the night, our team will follow your building’s prescribed emergency contact phone tree to ensure all essential parties are notified so that immediate and appropriate action is taken to rectify the matter.
