Apartment Maintenance Request Tracker

Keep the Building Running.

You are building a simple console application that helps an apartment complex track maintenance requests.

Tenants submit issues. The office logs them. Techs get assigned. Requests get closed.

Your job: Build the system.

Project Objective

Create a Java console application that demonstrates your understanding of:

• Classes
• Fields
• Constructors (default + parameterized)
• Getters & Setters
• Methods
• Loops
• Conditional statements

Required Files

• MaintenanceRequest.java
• MaintenanceOffice.java (starts at Level 3)
• Main.java

---

Level 1 — Log the Requests

Create a MaintenanceRequest class.

It must contain:

• tenantName
• apartmentNumber
• issueType
• severity (1–5)
• status (default = "NEW")

Requirements:

• Include both constructors
• Include getters and setters
• Include a toString() method

In Main:

• Create at least 3 requests
• Use a loop to print them
• Print "HIGH PRIORITY" if severity ≥ 4

---

Level 2 — Intake From User

Now allow the user to enter requests.

Requirements:

• Use a loop to continue entering requests

• Stop when user types "done"

• After each request:

  • Print confirmation
  • Apply rules:

Rules:

• If issueType is "Electrical" and severity ≥ 4 → print warning
• If severity is 5 → dispatch immediately

---

Level 3 — Assign & Update

Create a MaintenanceOffice class.

It must:

• Assign a tech based on severity
• Update request status
• Close completed requests

Only allow status updates to:

• "NEW"
• "IN_PROGRESS"
• "DONE"

Do not close a request unless it is "DONE".

---

Level 4 — Daily Report

Add a report method that prints:

• Total requests
• Open vs closed
• Count of low / medium / high severity
• Most common issue type

If high priority requests exceed 3:

• Print overload warning

---

Expectations

Your code should:

• Use methods appropriately
• Use conditionals logically
• Use loops correctly
• Keep data inside objects (use getters/setters)

Avoid:

• Putting all logic in Main
• Hardcoding everything
• Skipping constructors

---

Submission

Submit:

• All .java files
• Screenshot or copy of sample console output
• Clean, formatted code

---

Creative Extension (Optional)

• Add estimated repair cost
• Add tenant phone number
• Add technician name field
• Add priority auto-calculation
• Add simple menu system
• Add ability to search by apartment number
• Add daily revenue estimate
• Add time-to-complete tracking
• Add “cancel request” feature
• Add manager approval for high severity
