What is an emergency?

Emergency situations include:

  • No power
  • No heat
  • Leaks
  • Flooding (including an overflowing toilet)
  • Broken window
  • Failure of a door, window or security device to close properly

Please note that lock changes are not an emergency, and should go through your area office. 

Non-Emergency Requests for Maintenance

If there is a problem within your room or apartment—including a lock change request because you lost a key—you can request a repair in one of two ways:

  • Submit a work order through our online system
  • Call the Campus Living facilities customer service office at 716-645-5440

Please be as specific as possible with your request, and allow 24-48 hours for a response for non-emergencies. Requests for elective work (such as painting) or minor projects will be prioritized if appropriate and addressed as soon as possible.

What is a non-emergency?

Non-emergency requests include:

  • Toilet running (if it’s overflowing, then it’s an emergency)
  • Light bulb needs changing
  • Window blinds cracked or broken
  • Hole or crack in the wall
  • Electrical outlet not working (however, if you believe there is a fire hazard please treat this as an emergency)
