Repairs in College Park
20740 is College Park and its neighbors in Prince George's County. It surrounds the University of Maryland and covers city neighborhoods such as Old Town, Calvert Hills, Berwyn, Lakeland, Hollywood, Daniels Park and Sunnyside, plus the Town of Berwyn Heights and part of Beltsville. Baltimore Avenue, US Route 1, runs through the middle, with the College Park–University of Maryland Metro and MARC station to the east.
College Park is an incorporated city with its own mayor and council, and Berwyn Heights is a separate town. The Beltsville part of the ZIP is unincorporated Prince George's County.
The housing ranges widely. The older neighborhoods closest to campus have Queen Anne and Colonial Revival houses, bungalows, foursquares and Cape Cods, and many of them are rented to students. Along Route 1, newer mid-rise apartment buildings mostly house students. Farther from campus, neighborhoods such as Hollywood are mostly mid-century single-family houses.
Student rentals and the school year
Many leases near campus follow the academic year, so a problem may show up just after new tenants move in, or be discovered at the August turnover. Tenants should ask the owner before booking. Landlords can hand us the tenant's details; the tenant lets us in, and the landlord gets our findings and decides on the quote.
Houses shared by several tenants
A single-family house rented to several students puts more wear on the washer, dryer and refrigerator than one family would. Common trouble includes overloaded washers with worn suspensions, dryers with lint-packed vents and refrigerators whose door gaskets have given out.
We'll tell the owner what failed and what it will take to fix, and when a machine is at the end of its life, we'll say that too.
Newer apartment buildings on Route 1
The mid-rise buildings along Baltimore Avenue usually have stacked or compact laundry and small kitchens, and management generally handles repairs. Check with the office first. If they want us, tell us how contractors check in and where to park, since Route 1 has little curb space.
Low ground in Lakeland
Lakeland sits on low ground and has flooded in the past. If a basement washer, dryer or freezer has stood in water, keep it unplugged until it's fully dry and has been checked. Moisture left in a motor or wiring can lead to a breakdown weeks later or create a shock risk.
