During economic downturns, owners and investors are tempted to make shortsighted cost-cutting decisions regarding the maintenance of vacant spaces or properties, often resulting in calamity. This is especially true in the fall, the ideal time to prepare for the onslaught of winter and to protect the value of your real estate by making repairs that may be been overlooked during the spring and summer.

The list of concerns regarding vacant buildings is extensive. There are the obvious problems such as frozen pipes and pest infestation. There is also a host of less obvious issues that require periodic professional monitoring to protect asset value. Following are a few of these issues:

* Mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) system failures
* Building envelope damage (roofs, windows, etc.)
* Fire-protection equipment problems
* Building code certifications (fire extinguishers, RPZ, etc.)
* Life/safety equipment problems (failure of emergency lights and exit signs)
* Vandalism and theft
* Humidification problems resulting in mold remediation
* Infiltration of cold air that increases utility costs
* Local municipality intervention due to building and ground problems

The reality is that the cost of properly maintaining your vacant assets before an incident is a fraction of what it may cost to repair it after damage has occurred and can be measured both in dollars and human capital. Dealing properly with vacancies by utilizing the expertise of an experienced and skilled partner dramatically decreases the possibility of property calamities.
