  • Set expectations for parts lead times and follow-ups; confirm satisfaction at completion.
  • Escalate sensitively when work impacts health/safety or habitability.
• Preventive Maintenance (PM)
  • Maintain seasonal PM calendars (boilers/furnaces, gutters, dryer vents, smoke/CO checks, filter changes).
  • Batch/schedule PMs to minimize tenant disruption and travel time; track completion.
• Invoicing & Close-Out
  • Ensure work orders have diagnosis, materials, labor, before/after photos, and time stamps.
  • Match invoices to WOs, verify against NTE, route exceptions, and submit to accounting the same day.

  • Follow the P0/P1 emergency SOP (gas/water/electrical hazards, no-heat, lockouts).
  • Coordinate on-call vendors, city services, and temporary mitigation.
