After-Hours & Weekend Emergencies

In the event of an emergency, Capitol Property Management has a 24 hour answering service that will page a manager on duty to assist in an emergencies that involves damage to building structures or common elements, for example water leaks or other accidents or disasters that threaten the safety of a building structure, or fallen trees or structures during storms. Owners and residents should expect that someone is supposed to call you back in a couple of minutes. If someone doesn’t call you back, call the answering service again. For all emergencies reported, it’s a judgment call by the manager on duty to determine the course of action based on time of day/night, weather conditions, danger of damage or injury posed by the emergency, and the cost of addressing a non-threatening emergency during non-business hours.

Such situations might include fires, power lines coming down in storms, trespassers on our property, or other situations that the police or fire department are equipped to handle.
