Condo Property Management Helps with Maintenance Issues
Condo property management monitors the daily activity on the association’s grounds. The managers advise homeowners on ways they can help keep up their property. Here are a few things we generally suggest:
- Gutters need to be cleaned out before the autumn rains begin. As the temperature drops, the water that overflows can turn into ice and become a walking hazard.
- Chimneys should be cleaned and inspected in the autumn before lighting a fire. Chimneys in poor condition can become a fire hazard.
- Tree limbs need to be trimmed if they are a danger with snow or ice. Look for overhanging limbs in driveways or other areas.
The company can provide a list of vendors to the homeowners to help them find affordable, reliable service. By preparing the homes before cold weather hits, the entire complex will look better and be safer for residents and guests.
Care for Common Areas
Parking lots and other areas common to the association will also need to be cared for in time for cold weather. This will help protect the association from liability issues that could be the result of poor maintenance.
The manager will also be responsible for updating contracts on snow care for the complex and comparing vendors to find the best ones for the job. If the homeowner is responsible for sidewalks, they should be encouraged to keep them clean and safe for everyone in the complex.
A property manager will also supervise the work that is done for snow removal to ensure that the vendor handles the work in a timely manner. If a fresh snow falls overnight, they should have their crew out first thing to clear it off before homeowners get out to leave for work. A property manager can handle these issues so that the homeowner’s association does not get complaints from unhappy homeowners.
We can also assist the homeowners with major winter issues such as furnace problems. The property manager can recommend a furnace repairman to get the heat working again. By providing additional assistance to homeowners, this will help to guarantee they are happy with their association.
Property managers will also help to maintain empty buildings that have not yet sold in the complex. They will also be responsible for managing any complaints from homeowners during the cold weather season. This can include parking issues from snow hills that build up from the plows that clear the parking lot or fewer parking spaces because of misplaced cars when lanes could not easily be seen. They ensure the snow removal crews monitor the lots to prevent ice buildup on the sidewalks and parking lots due to refreezing.

A condo property management company can take over a lot of the responsibility of maintaining a property complex during the winter months. These are issues that your board won’t have to deal with and will still be protected from liability issues and unhappy homeowners. The right manager can reduce much of the worry of owning in an association.
