Maintenance
Two lanes, and picking the right one matters. Urgent problems go to the 24-hour phone line so someone is moving on it tonight. Everything else goes through the portal, where it is tracked instead of forgotten.
Call 510.883.9000 right away for any of these. The line is answered around the clock, including weekends.
a water leak of any size
smoke or fire
a security breach, or a door or keypad that will not lock
no heat or no ventilation
an elevator outage
If you are not sure which lane something belongs in, call. Being routed in 30 seconds beats waiting on a form that sat in the wrong queue overnight. For a fire, a medical emergency, or a crime in progress, call 911 first.
For anything that can wait 24 hours, a slow drain or a loose handle or a heated towel rack that stopped working.
