What Is a Building Superintendent?
A building superintendent is a professional who makes repairs and performs preventative maintenance in residential apartment buildings. Most superintendents have expert knowledge of many types of repair work, including plumbing, painting, construction, and electrical work. They frequently perform managerial duties as well, such as collecting rent, enforcing housing guidelines, and making sure that residents are kept safe. Some building superintendents at large facilities or complexes supervise teams of maintenance workers, delegating responsibilities and setting work schedules.
