Building Maintenance & Safety Check Inspections
RentCheck Building Maintenance and Safety Check Inspections help your team stay proactive with preventative maintenance and ensure all shared spaces and building systems remain safe, functional, and compliant.
These inspections can be conducted regularly on common areas and exterior features to identify potential issues before they become costly repairs. They’re also ideal for tracking progress on specific maintenance items reported by tenants or observed during property walkthroughs.
Why Conduct These Inspections
Prevent costly damage: Catch issues like leaks, electrical problems, or wear and tear before they escalate.
Maintain safety standards: Ensure essential systems such as elevators, emergency lighting, and fire exits are working properly.
Support compliance: Document building conditions for insurance, internal audits, and local housing requirements.
Streamline communication: Centralize photos, notes, and maintenance data directly in your RentCheck dashboard for easy follow-up and accountability.
Recommended Areas to Inspect
Interior common areas: Hallways, lobbies, stairwells, laundry rooms, and trash chutes.
Building systems: Elevators, HVAC units, lighting fixtures, fire alarms, and sprinklers.
Exterior features: Parking lots, roofing, gutters, walkways, and entryways.
Pro Tips
Schedule recurring inspections (e.g., monthly or quarterly) to maintain a consistent maintenance record.
Assign inspections to building staff or vendors responsible for specific systems (e.g., electrical or landscaping).
Attach photos and detailed notes for every issue to create a visual history of maintenance over time.
