Scheduled common area cleaning and maintenance tasks

Purpose

 1.1. Automate recurring scheduling, dispatch, reminders, and tracking for all shared area cleaning and maintenance in multi-unit apartments.
 1.2. Ensure common zones—lobbies, elevators, gyms, laundry, halls, parking—are regularly cleaned and maintained with minimal manual oversight.
 1.3. Notify teams and residents, track vendor compliance, record maintenance logs, and trigger follow-ups for unfinished, missed, or overdue tasks.
 1.4. Synchronize with building management, inventory, and compliance systems.
 1.5. Automate reporting for regulatory bodies or property owners as needed.

Trigger Conditions

 2.1. Time-based (daily/weekly/monthly schedules or custom frequency).
 2.2. Event-based (maintenance ticket creation, tenant complaints, or IoT trigger such as sensor alerts—air quality, occupancy, waste bin capacity).
 2.3. Manual override or ad-hoc initiation by property management.
 2.4. Completion status check (maintenance team updates, supervisor approval).
