Keeping Your Focus: Maintenance Support
Keeping your home in top shape is important to us! If something needs attention in your apartment, you can easily let us know through the Resident Portal app.


Follow these steps to quickly and easily submit a maintenance request:


First, open the Resident Portal website or app. Once you are all logged in locate the maintenance tab under "My Apartment."
There you will be able to view any active or past work order requests. To submit a request, you will select the top right button "Request Maintenance."
You will then select your contact preference for fast communication, we recommend selecting your primary phone number. Follow the prompts below and let our maintenance staff know what is going on with your unit.
We recommend being very detailed to ensure they have all the information they need before arriving to your unit. You can also include photos so they can view the area needing assistance in advance.
Then save the request, and you're all set! You should receive a confirmation that your request has been received. Check the status of your request anytime in this section!
For urgent maintenance needs (like flooding or no A/C), please call the office directly.

SAFETY AND SECURITY
Your peace of mind matters. Here’s how we keep Aperture safe, secure, and resident-focused.
Smart Access with Brivo
All residents use the Brivo mobile app as their digital key to access their apartment, bedroom, and amenities
Each resident’s access is unique and secure
Download and activate Brivo before move-in to ensure a smooth check-in experience
Controlled Access Community
Aperture features controlled-access entry points, including the garage, elevators, stairwells, and shared spaces
All exterior doors remain locked 24/7 and require Brivo access to enter
Never allow others to “tailgate” into the building or your unit — everyone must scan in individually
Lock Up, Every Time
For your safety and the safety of your roommates:
Always lock your front door, bedroom door, windows, and patio doors when leaving or going to sleep
Do not leave any entry point unlocked—even for a quick trip
If you notice a door or window that won’t close or lock properly, report it to maintenance immediately
On-Site Security
Aperture partners with a professional security provider who monitors the property and supports our staff
Officers may be present during evenings, weekends, or special events
Report any suspicious activity to the leasing office or local authorities right away
Surveillance
Security cameras are located throughout all entry points, elevators, garages, and common areas
These are monitored regularly to help deter and investigate any issues
Fire Safety and Emergency Access
Every unit is equipped with smoke detectors and sprinkler systems
Tampering with safety equipment is strictly prohibited and may result in fines or lease violations
Emergency exit routes are posted in each hallway — review them upon move-in
Lock Up, Every Time
You’ll receive a printed contact card at move-in with all important phone numbers, including:
After-hours emergency maintenance
On-site security
Local emergency services (police/fire/medical)
Keep this somewhere visible and accessible at all times.


No matter the time, we've got your back.
Maintenance Requests
For non-emergency maintenance, submit a request through your Resident Portal App
Our team responds during regular business hours and schedules repairs as quickly as possible
Examples include: leaky faucet, light bulb replacement, appliance not working, etc.
