Front desk

The doorman protocol, in full

This is the page to send your doorman, your super or the board. It is the same on every visit.

  • The name list

    Two names, the arrival time and the unit go to the desk by text and email the day before. If a name changes, the desk hears before we arrive.

  • Photo ID and sign-in

    Both cleaners carry photo ID and sign the visitor log, every visit.

  • The service elevator

    We use the service elevator in the booked window, with pads on the floor, and keep carts out of the lobby.

  • Keys and access

    The key stays with you or the desk. We never copy, label or leave one in a lockbox.

  • Trash and supplies

    Bags go where your building directs. Supplies arrive and leave in our own cart.

  • Sign-out

    We sign out at the desk, return any key and text the resident when we leave.

Building file

Send us the house rules, once

Every building has a contractor rider, house rules or a move policy. Email it to us and we put it on your building file. Every visit follows it, and the crew reads it before the first one.

  • Contractor hours and any weekend rule

  • Elevator reservation method and deposit, if any

  • Where trash goes, and which door deliveries use

  • Who signs the certificate request

Lobby with a marble floor and glass entrance doors

If something is off at the door

The desk is not staffed

We call the number on the building file. If no one answers, we wait outside and text the resident. We do not enter on our own.

A cleaner is out sick

We text the desk and you the day before with the replacement's name. The desk list changes before we arrive.

The elevator is taken

The desk or super tells us and we pick the next window with the resident. Carts do not go in the passenger elevator.

A key does not work

We call the resident and the desk. We never force a lock or call a locksmith without the resident.

A resident wants to change the day

They text us. The desk list and elevator window change with it.
