Developed by J Turner Research, the ORA^® Power Ranking measures the online reputation of more than 150,000 multifamily communities across a variety of review platforms. The annual Elite 1% ranking is an independent assessment, highlighting only the highest-rated communities nationwide.

Presented by AppWork in partnership with The Maintenance Academy, the Top Maintenance Co. Awards honor 15 operators whose portfolios earned the highest percentage of four- and five-star resident ratings. Unlike traditional awards based on applications or subjective judging, recognition is entirely data-driven and determined by verified resident feedback tied directly to completed work orders.

CIP Communities implemented AppWork in September 2025 to further enhance visibility, consistency, and accountability across its maintenance operations. The company has long prioritized maintenance as a critical driver of the resident experience, and this national recognition reinforces that long-standing commitment.

Earlier this winter, eight CIP communities were also recognized through AppWork’s Winter 2026 Top Maintenance Rating Awards, a seasonal program honoring individual apartment communities that deliver the highest-rated maintenance service based on resident feedback.

“Earning the #1 ranking in the country reflects the discipline, accountability, and pride our maintenance teams bring to their work every day,” said Zach Seier, vice president of projects & engineering solutions at CIP Communities. “Maintenance is one of the most direct and meaningful touchpoints in the resident experience. This recognition validates the high standards our teams have upheld for years and our commitment to continually raising the bar.”

This award positions CIP Communities as a national benchmark for maintenance excellence in the multifamily industry and underscores the organization’s focus on delivering consistent, high-quality service across its portfolio.
