An outside inspection covers buildings, playgrounds, green areas, parking areas, and laundry facilities. The Regional Manager tracks repairs to ensure resolution within thirty days. Most Property Managers live on-site or in the local area. Managers walk the property daily to maintain contact with residents and check for maintenance needs. Litter is policed regularly.
