Maintenance

Please notify your property manager of maintenance needs or call our office at (614) 487-6700 and request maintenance. If your call is not answered immediately, please leave a message including your name, address, brief description of the issue and a phone number where you can be reached and your call will be returned.

For non-emergencies, maintenance will respond as soon as a technician is available to assess the situation and coordinate necessary repairs. The wait will depend on the severity of the issue and the number of work orders ahead of yours.

*For situations that are life threatening or threaten the structure of the building, call 911 first, then follow up with the appropriate support staff and your property manager or front desk staff. 

In the event of a maintenance emergency (defined below), please call (614) 487- 6700 between the hours of 8 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday and ask for the Maintenance Coordinator. Please leave a voicemail including your name, address, phone number and brief description of the issue and your call will be returned as soon as possible.

After 5 PM Monday through Friday, weekends & holidays, please call 1-800-274-5053 to reach our answering service. The answering service will contact the on-call maintenance technician (for emergencies only) who will respond to your request as soon as possible.
