Workarounds Described

• Takes resident complaints manually in parking lot and writes them down
• Knocks on doors and visually inspects units to identify squatters
• Calls 911 multiple times and follows up manually for police assistance
• Coordinates trash removal and utility restoration by phone with vendors

Implied Software Gaps

• Mobile app for multilingual resident communication and complaint logging
• Digital incident reporting system with automatic law enforcement dispatch
• Occupancy tracking tool with visual mapping of squatted units
• Vendor coordination dashboard for emergency services like trash removal
• Document management for cash-only urgent property sales and liability
