Good afternoon.

Member of the Public - Keith Ramsey

Our priority in Eastchester is simple, to make sure resident repair requests are handled quickly, transparently, and thoroughly.

Member of the Public - Keith Ramsey

To achieve this, we implemented PropertyMeld, a platform that gives residents a familiar, streamlined experience, much like that NYCHA app.

Through property mail, residents can submit work orders directly from a phone or computer, track progress in real time, and message maintenance staff.

At the same time, we ensure no resident is left behind.
