Owners/Agents should be accepting, processing and completing all resident submitted work orders. These should be done in a timely and safe manner. Please note that there are no waivers or State imposed shelter in place mandates that allow owners to forego maintenance requirements. Failure to complete these will result in non-compliance status with ADOH.
