Work Orders
Requests for maintenance for public housing units and property should be placed by calling (573) 443-2233. Columbia Housing Authority (CHA) staff members are available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. to process requests for repair or assistance.
SMOKE DETECTORS
Smoke detectors will save your life! If a battery dies or a smoke detector malfunctions, please notify Maintenance immediately. Maintenace staff provide same-day service for smoke detector problems - and it's free.
- Tampering with smoke detectors is like gambling with your life. Do not try to fix or disconnect it yourself. Tampering carries heavy fines!
- First offense: $50 charge
- Second offense: LEASE TERMINATION
