Critical Commentary

The chart reflects responses to Question #43 from the Winter 2020 survey, which asked, “Are you or the owner of the building where you live deferring maintenance on the building due to COVID-19?” The pre-structured options were, “Yes, due to financial constraints”; “Yes, due to a stay at home order”; “Yes, due to fears of COVID-19”; “No, no maintenance was scheduled”; “No, maintenance work is going on as planned”; “I don’t know”; and “other.”

Eighty-one respondents answered this question. 

  • Sixteen respondents (19.8%) reported that they had delayed maintenance on their building because of fears of COVID-19. 

  • Twelve respondents (14.8%) reported they had delayed maintenance because of a stay-at-home order. 

  • Sixteen respondents (19.8%) reported they had delayed maintenance because of financial constraints. 

  • Thirty-three respondents (40.7%) answered that no maintenance was scheduled. 

  • Fifteen respondents (18.5%) reported that maintenance went along as planned. 

  • Four respondents (4.9%) did not know. 

  • Two respondents (2.5%) answered “other”. 

  • One respondent answered yes, but did not specify (1.2%). 


The data was produced by the Shifting Energy Demands in COVID-19 Survey - Overview, which was administered to 83 people over a fourteen week period between December 2020 and March 2021.
