Maintenance staffing and fire safety at Green Ridge House
Greenbelt, MD
Summary
The property hasn't been able to fill its full-time maintenance job for nearly a year, so a former employee is back through a temp agency — which could raise payroll costs if made permanent. Fire drills have slipped because no residents will volunteer as hall monitors, and council wants county fire response times documented.
