Workarounds Described
- Funnels all maintenance requests into one channel, even if tenant texts personally, and screenshots text into log

- Notes reasons for delays and actions taken on the date they happen
Implied Software Gaps
- A centralized communication hub that automatically captures requests from any channel
- Automated document management that links vendor communications and completion confirmations
- A timeline log that records delays and escalations with timestamps
