City maintenance playbook
Maintenance is strategy, not guesswork. The right cadence keeps residents comfortable and businesses open.
Watch for signals: slow sinks, gurgling tubs, floor drain seepage, or new odors in lobbies. These are early warnings that save money when handled promptly.
Housekeeping habits: never pour fats or coffee grounds, use strainers in every sink and shower, and run hot water after soapy loads. For buildings, post simple drain rules in utility rooms to guide tenants.
Prepping ahead keeps common areas dry and businesses open.
Documentation: we log photos, videos, and recommendations after each visit so boards and managers have a living record of the systems health.
