How to Submit a Maintenance Request at Cleveland Comfort Housing

By Cleveland Comfort Housing TeamΒ·February 26, 2026

Something needs fixing in your unit. Here's exactly how to report it, what information to include, and what to expect after you submit β€” whether it's a dripping faucet or a heating emergency.

🚨 Is this an emergency? If you have no heat, an active water leak, sewage backup, a gas leak, or a broken door lock β€” call us immediately at (216) 480-4166. Don't wait. Gas leaks: call 911 and your gas company first.

Step-by-Step: Submitting Your Request

Identify the Issue

Before reaching out, take a moment to describe what's happening as clearly as possible. "The bathroom faucet won't stop dripping" is more helpful than "something's broken." If it's safe to do so, take a photo.

Contact Us

Call (216) 480-4166 or email info@clevelandcomforthousing.com. Both work β€” use whichever is easiest for you.

Include the Right Info

To get your repair handled faster, include:

  • Your full name
  • Property address and unit number
  • A clear description of the issue
  • The best time for someone to come by for access

We Schedule the Repair

We'll confirm receipt of your request and schedule a time with you. For non-urgent repairs, expect 3–5 business days depending on parts and availability.

We Complete the Repair

A maintenance tech will come at the scheduled time. If you can't be home, let us know in advance and we can arrange entry with proper notice per your lease terms.

Emergency vs. Non-Emergency

Not everything needs immediate attention β€” but some things do. Here's how to tell the difference:

Call immediately for:

  • No heat when temperatures are below 50Β°F outside
  • Active water leak or flooding
  • Sewage backup or toilet that won't flush (only toilet in unit)
  • Gas smell β€” call 911 and your gas company first, then us
  • Broken entry door lock or window that can't be secured
  • Electrical issue β€” sparking outlets, circuit that won't reset, no power

Submit as a normal request for:

  • Dripping faucets or slow drains
  • Appliance not working correctly
  • Minor drywall damage or cosmetic issues
  • Loose handles, hinges, or hardware
  • Light bulbs or non-essential fixtures
  • Pest concern (still report promptly β€” don't delay)

πŸ“‹ Keep a record: Save the date and method of your maintenance request. If you email us, you automatically have a timestamp. If you call, jot down the date and what was discussed. This helps if there's ever any confusion later.

Tips for a Smooth Experience

  • Report issues early. A slow drain that you ignore for a month can become a much bigger problem. Small issues are easier and cheaper to fix when caught early.
  • Be specific. The more detail you provide, the faster we can identify the right fix and bring the right tools.
  • Be available. If you request a repair, try to be home or arrange access. Missed appointments slow everything down.
  • Follow up if needed. If you haven't heard back within 2 business days on a non-emergency, feel free to follow up β€” we want to make sure nothing slips through.
