building super

Residential maintenance manager

A building super—short for superintendent—is the person responsible for maintaining and managing a residential building, especially an apartment complex.

The super handles repairs, oversees cleaning and upkeep, and often lives on-site.

Call the super about that leak.

In American cities with older apartment stock, the super is the first contact for tenant problems.
