The City’s Department of Transportation (NYC DOT) has a list of all administrative codes pertaining to sidewalk safety. Please take a moment to review the codes and make sure you are adhering to the safety standards in place here: https://lnkd.in/eZy3e9Nq #nycrealestate #nyrealestate #newyorkrealestate #realestateny #nycliving #commercialrealestate #property #investment #condo #coop #buildingmanagement #facilitymanagement #propertymanagement #buildingmaintenance #buildingmanager #buildingservices #sidewalksafety #safetyregulations

Hey there Property Managers & Strata Managers! 🎤 Why is it so important to have clean gutters for the sites you are managing for your landlords and residents? Gutters essentially manage the flow of rainwater away from your home during a downpour or storm. If they’re blocked, the water can pool in the wrong place and even flow back into the house and cause damage to the inside and outside of the home. Full gutters are also a major attraction to pests and unwanted critters, these are certainly situations we'd like to avoid ensuring the health of the roof and gutters are in optimal condition. Nobody wants to deal with roof leaks or stressed tenants/residents! Dependent upon location, we advise our clients to have at least one gutter clean and roof inspection incorporated in the maintenance schedule per year 😁

We hope it never happens to you, but here are the basics you should know about the restoration process in the case of fire damage to your home or business.

As a homeowner, having a properly working fence and gate is incredibly important. Your fence serves as a boundary, providing privacy and security for your family and property. A faulty gate or fence can leave your home vulnerable to unwanted visitors and animals. Not only that, but a damaged fence and gate can be an eyesore, significantly reducing the curb appeal of your home. Attempting to repair a fence yourself can be a hassle and time-consuming. It requires specialized tools, experience, and skills that not everyone possesses. Instead, seek the help of a professional handyman, like Mr. Handyman, who can provide efficient and effective fence and gate repair services. Don't let a damaged fence or gate continue to be an issue for you and your home.
