Who is responsible for what, and when? This chapter explores the governance ecology shaping PRH streets, plazas, stairwells, and retail edges: property management firms, subdistrict offices, resident committees, and outsourced cleaners and security. Using interviews, document reviews, and incident logs, it identifies three recurring governance styles—rule-as-liability (risk-avoidant prohibitions), rule-as-service (responsive minor adjustments), and rule-as-appearance (campaign-style tidying). Maintenance grey zones (lighting, playgrounds, planter boxes, informal seating) tend to suppress small acts of stewardship when responsibilities and budgets are unclear. The chapter suggests a practical accountability matrix (task, location, response time, budget line) and micro-budgets for small amenities, along with transparent service-level agreements and resident walk-throughs. Clarifying decision-making and funding for everyday repairs turns “no” into “not yet—here’s how,” fostering safer, vibrant shared spaces without reducing compliance.
