A building superintendent or building supervisor (often shortened to super) is a term used in the United States and Canada to refer to a manager responsible for repair and maintenance in a residential building.
They are the first point of contact for residents of the building.
Building superintendents are expected to take care of minor issues and repairs, such as patch drywall and do painting, repair/replace flooring, doors, windows, etc., fix simple electrical, plumbing and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) issues, do appliance repairs and cleaning.
The amount of compensation they receive is usually proportional to the size of the building.
