Enumerated below are some of the essential tips you must consider when managing a condominium during the winter season.
Administer The Room Temperatures
Ensure you conduct regular security checks for your condominium’s emergency management program. This will enable you to track any minor changes that might affect the state of the condominium in the future. These details would include the changes in the temperature of the condominiums. During the winter season, it is obvious that condominiums’ core temperature is a lower degree dropdown. However, if you have frigid temperatures, you must monitor the room temperature and adjust them if necessary. In this case, we can cite examples of rooms such as generator rooms, fuel storage rooms, parking garages, sprinkler rooms, electrical rooms, etc. During this time, there is an increased chance of the house being susceptible to frozen pipes, false alarms, temperature complaints, and HVAC concerns, constituting a major part of a house emergency. However, when you are scheduled to inspect the condominium regularly, you will likely detect and diagnose the problem before it becomes a major issue.
Secure The Premises
It is highly recommended that you employ security personnel to conduct daily patrols and inspect the premises of the condominium you are in charge of to minimize any risks associated with work-related injuries, which comprise the predominant part of injury claims that several property managers face. Making sure that you have some system in place that administers the operation of the condominium daily, as well as keeping track of the access routes and driveway that leads up to the building, will assure you with the guarantee that the premises are made secure and help you in implementing proactive measures that will go a long way in the future.
The security personnel is experienced and competent in localizing imminent concerns like slippery, icy, wet surfaces and searches that can harm those working in the condominium’s demarcations. For this reason, you would have to hire the services of security personnel who are, in fact, adept in dealing with such circumstances so that they are quick to diagnose the problem and come up with a viable solution in the shortest amount of time possible. For instance, if there is an icy walkway, security personnel must apply salt on the surface so that the walkway is not slipping, falling, or tripping hazard for those working.
The Building Staff
Lastly, you have to ensure that the building’s staff is up to date with all the regulations they must follow. This would include the fire department-approved building plan that will help them responsibly and judiciously during any contingencies or emergencies that might arise. Be certain to let them know if there are any training programs they can undergo to make themselves more conscientious.
