From time to time, residents submit maintenance requests and become frustrated when something isn’t attended to immediately. Part of the reason for the delay is that the association develops and follows an annual maintenance schedule, and the manager knows that next month’s routine maintenance will take care of the problem. Associations also use the schedule to address small unseen problems before they become noticeable.
The association schedules routine maintenance for a number of reasons.
h It eliminates unexpected replacements and breakdowns.
h It keeps costs down because repairs are not made on an emergency basis.
h It extends the lives of expensive common elements and reduces reserved funds
h It stops problems before they occur
The association may work with a qualified engineers, contractores, and other experts to develop the maintenance schedule. The schedule specifies when common elements will be routinely inspected, adjusted and repaired. Regularly monitoring the property eliminates surprises. Boards are able to catch minor problems and correct them before an expensive repair is needed. This, of course, helps control costs by extending the life of the common elements, which in turn reduces the money that must be reserved for an eventual replacement.
The maintenance schedule is a useful tool that keeps costs down and property function and appearance up. Bear with the Board; eventually everything will get done in the most efficient, economical way.

It is the fate of the Property Manager to toil at the lower employments of life; to be rather driven by the fear of evil than attracted by the prospect of good; to be exposed to censure without hope of praise; to be disgraced by miscarriage or punished by neglect, where success would have been without applause and diligence without reward. While others may aspire to praise, the Property Manager can only hope to escape reproach, and even this negative recompense has yet been granted to very few.

As Property Managers, we all have learned primarily
through our mistakes and pursuits of false assumptions
rather than by our exposure to fountains of wisdom and
knowledge.
