Conduct Periodic Inspections
If you don't already, now is the time for your community to start scheduling periodic
inspections. By being aware of every aspect of your property's condition, you can
identify small issues and fix them quickly before they become major problems.
We recommend completing a full community inspection at least once a year, but that
doesn't mean the entirety of the inspection has to be completed at the same time. You
and your maintenance partner can divide a large community into sections and inspect
different areas on a rolling basis throughout the year. This also helps your budget by
distributing maintenance costs more evenly over time.
A professional inspector will look for safety hazards, proper lighting, cracked sealants
and plumbing boots, and peeling paint among other items. He or she will also examine
the roof of each structure and recommend maintenance solutions for any areas that
need attention.
Mike's Tip
Regular inspections act like a window looking into the future
of your community. You need it to make the right decisions,
the first time.
