When…

The plumber went quiet and the tenant is still without hot water

A manager two days into a no-heat, no-hot-water ticket, with a vendor who accepted and then vanished, and a tenant who has started using the word “habitability”.

What goes wrong

  • The dispatch was an email the plumber reads weekly.
  • Nobody knows whether he has been, is coming, or gave up.
  • Finding another plumber means starting the explanation from zero.

What to do now

  1. 1

    The board shows the last word from the vendor and when it came.

  2. 2

    Reassign from the same order to another vendor on your roster, or find a crew for plumbing near the property; the new person gets the photos and the access notes.

  3. 3

    The order carries the tenant's report and every timestamp — that is the habitability record.

  4. 4

    Next time, for a vendor who lives on their phone rather than their inbox: copy the order's link into a text from your own phone — it opens with no account, and whatever they do there lands on the order.

What they end up holding

The tenant gets a plumber today; you get a dated trail of who was asked, when, and what they said.
