ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Building superintendent

A building superintendent is like the boss of a building! Their job is to make sure that everything in the building is going well, kind of like how your parents make sure your house is clean and everything is working properly. They make sure that the elevators are working, the water and electricity is running, and that each apartment is safe and clean.

Just like your parents, the building superintendent has a lot of responsibilities. They also have to make sure that trash is taken out, fix things that are broken or not working properly, and make sure that people in the building are following the rules. Kind of like how your parents ask you to clean your room or take out the trash!

Sometimes, when someone is moving in or out of the building, the superintendent will help them with things like moving boxes or setting up the utilities. They are also the person you would call if there is an emergency and you need help right away.

So just like your parents "super" person who makes sure everything is going smoothly in the building!
