Best Maintained Apartments

San Diego buildings with excellent upkeep and responsive management

What Makes "Best Maintained"?

We calculate maintenance scores based on how quickly landlords resolve violations and 311 complaints, the overall condition of the building, and the frequency of recurring issues. Buildings with high maintenance scores have landlords who address problems promptly and keep their properties in excellent condition.

Why Maintenance Matters

A well-maintained building isn't just about aesthetics—it's about your quality of life. Good maintenance means:

  • Quick response to repair requests
  • Working appliances and fixtures
  • Clean common areas
  • Properly functioning HVAC systems
  • Good water pressure and drainage

Signs of Good Maintenance

  • Low violation count: Few or no outstanding violations
  • Fast resolution: Violations are closed quickly after being cited
  • Recent permits: Building improvements and renovations
  • Positive 311 history: Complaints are addressed promptly

San Diego Climate Advantage

San Diego's mild climate means buildings face less weather-related wear and tear compared to cities with harsh winters or humid summers. However, the coastal salt air can affect some buildings, so maintenance is still important, especially near the beach.
