Class code 9015 — Building Operation — Apartment/Office
Maintenance and janitorial staff employed directly by a property owner.
This classification covers maintenance and janitorial staff employed directly by the owner of an apartment complex or office building to care for that single property, rather than a contractor serving multiple clients. It applies to on-site building superintendents, maintenance techs, and cleaning staff who work exclusively at one location.
Duties include routine cleaning of common areas, minor repairs like fixing leaky faucets or replacing light fixtures, groundskeeping around the property, and responding to tenant maintenance requests. Payroll typically includes building superintendents, maintenance technicians, and janitorial staff who know the property intimately since they work there full-time.
Because staff handle both cleaning and light repair work, exposure includes typical slip-and-fall risks along with minor injuries from basic repairs, ladder use for light fixtures, and occasional strain from moving furniture or equipment during turnovers. The fixed, single-property nature of the work is the key distinction from a janitorial contractor rotating through multiple client sites.
