Housing Operations - Requests for Repair    
 

Please follow this procedure when requesting repairs:

  1. Obtain a Request for Repairs form from the area designated at your site or you can download a copy here. If the supply of forms there is depleted, please notify your Superintendent who will provide you with a form and replenish the supply. If you are unaware of where to obtain a form, please call your Superintendent who will be pleased to direct you.
  2. Complete all the information on the form to the best of your knowledge. Be as specific as possible about the problem. Be sure to note the date of your request and your phone number and sign the form.
  3. Keep the pink copy for your own records for follow up. If you have downloaded a copy of the form you should take a copy, for your records, and submit the original to the Superintendent.
  4. Submit the other two copies to the Superintendent for action.

We request that you follow this procedure rather than simply making a verbal request to the Superintendent, Property Manager or Head Office. In the course of a busy day, some items mentioned in passing may be overlooked.

Please note, by signing this form you are authorizing staff to enter your unit to investigate your request and complete repairs if able, even if you are not home. If you require notice prior to entry, please note such a requirement on the Request for Repair form.

Requests for repairs are prioritized with the most urgent being addressed first. Some repairs cannot be completed by your Superintendent and require scheduling of either our maintenance person or outside contractor. Additionally, parts or materials may need to be ordered for the repair to be completed. All these circumstances may affect the time period in which your repair is completed. Repairs that can be completed by your Superintendent should be addressed within three days of receipt of the Request for Repair form. If you have not heard from your Superintendent in that time period, please call him/her and ask for the status of your request for repairs. Our objective is to provide you with prompt, courteous and professional service. If we are not meeting this objective, we would like to hear from you.

If your repair is an emergency , such as loss of heat, hydro or flood, you should telephone your Superintendent. If you get the answering machine, please leave a message. If you do not receive a return call within fifteen minutes, you should call the Head Office (905-436-6610) for a 24-hour response.
