The Top Maintenance Rating Expands to 50 Winners
Top Maintenance Rating Program Expands to Recognize 50 Properties Per Season Starting January 2026
Ramsey, NJ — AppWork, in partnership with the Multifamily Media Network (MMN), is proud to announce a major expansion of the Top Maintenance Rating Program, increasing recognition from 25 to 50 properties each season, beginning with the January 2026 awards cycle.
This expansion reflects the rapid growth, high demand, and overwhelming participation in the program, which has quickly become a benchmark for maintenance excellence in the industry.
Launched to spotlight properties that deliver a positive maintenance experience to their residents, the Top Maintenance Rating Program evaluates performance using real operational resident experience data, not nominations or subjective voting. The result is a credible, data-driven recognition that celebrates teams who consistently raise the bar.
“The growth of this program is a direct result of the industry’s commitment to better maintenance operations,” said Sean Landsberg, CoFounder and CEO of AppWork. “We’re seeing more properties invest in their teams, their processes, and their resident experience. Expanding to 50 winners allows us to recognize more of the teams who are truly setting the standard.”
Why the Program Is Expanding
- A significant increase in participating properties
- Strong demand from operators eager for objective, data-backed recognition
- Growing industry interest in elevating maintenance as a strategic function
The Top Maintenance Rating Program measures performance across key operational indicators, including work order efficiency, completion quality, and resident satisfaction — providing a transparent and meaningful way to identify top performers across the country.
January 2026 Winners Announcement
The January 2026 Top Maintenance Rating award recipients will be announced on January 15, 2026. Participating properties are encouraged to stay tuned to see if their teams earned a spot among this season’s top performers.
