The short answer

Use CruzFix for non-emergency housing repairs; urgent after-hours problems have separate phone instructions.

A kitchen sink, faucet and countertop with groceries. Illustrative photography, not a local listing.

What happens if something breaks in the room?

UCSC routes routine residence maintenance through CruzFix. Active flooding, water intrusion or an entry door that will not secure/open is treated as urgent; life-threatening emergencies go to 911.
