Sustainability issues in residential buildings in many cities of the world and the search for factors that influence the
level of maintenance of residential buildings, with appropriate measures to assist in the solutions to the problems of
building maintenance has been an issue of concern, most especially to the house designers and developers in Niger
State, Nigeria. This paper therefore planned to determine factors that influence the level of maintenance of residential
buildings’ standards. The research method employed was descriptive and inferential survey. The data collected were
subjected to uni-variate analysis and multi-variate analysis, using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The
study found among others that factors that influence the level of maintenance of residential buildings standards

public enlightenment campaign for the residential buildings’ owners/occupants on the need for residential buildings
and building premises maintenance and the implication for failure to maintain buildings and buildings’ premises
