What is the checklist for inspecting a building?

Checklist for Inspecting a Building

Inspecting a building is an important process that helps identify any issues or potential problems with the structure. While the specific checklist may vary depending on the type of building and its purpose, here are some common items that are typically included in a building inspection checklist:

Exterior Inspection: This involves assessing the condition of the building's exterior, including the walls, roof, windows, doors, and foundation. It includes checking for signs of damage, deterioration, leaks, cracks, or any other structural issues.

Interior Inspection: This includes examining the interior spaces of the building, such as rooms, hallways, staircases, and common areas. It involves checking for issues like water damage, mold, pest infestation, electrical problems, plumbing leaks, and ventilation.

Mechanical Systems: Inspecting the building's mechanical systems is crucial. This includes evaluating the functionality and condition of the HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system, electrical wiring, plumbing, fire safety systems, and any other mechanical equipment present in the building.

Safety and Compliance: Ensuring the building meets safety and compliance standards is an essential part of the inspection. This involves checking for fire safety measures, emergency exits, proper lighting, handrails, and compliance with building codes and regulations.

Structural Integrity: Assessing the structural integrity of the building is vital to identify any potential risks or weaknesses. This includes examining the foundation, load-bearing walls, beams, columns, and other structural elements for signs of damage, cracks, or instability.

Utilities and Services: Inspecting the building's utilities and services is important to ensure they are functioning properly. This includes checking the water supply, drainage systems, electrical connections, gas lines, and any other utilities specific to the building.

Accessibility: Evaluating the accessibility of the building is crucial to ensure it meets the needs of all occupants. This involves checking for wheelchair accessibility, ramps, elevators, and other features that facilitate easy access for individuals with disabilities .

Documentation and Record-Keeping: Maintaining accurate documentation and records of the inspection is essential. This includes taking detailed notes, photographs, and videos of any issues or findings during the inspection process.

It's important to note that the specific checklist for inspecting a building may vary depending on factors such as the building's purpose, location, and local regulations. Additionally, it is recommended to consult with professionals, such as building inspectors or engineers, who have expertise in conducting thorough building inspections.

i think people tend to avoid HOA's regardless because of the way they tend to attract weird controlling assholes as board members/presidents, so you live in an HOA neighborhood and some guy is on your ass for "weeds" in yard when it's the flowers you planted etc

I mean, sure, but also like.....condo and townhome HOAs can't do that. They're in charge of the gardening. If there's flowers that have been planted they're the ones who do it in the first place, and if something needs to be weeded that's also their job as opposed to mine.

What I'm pointing out is that there's a very distinct divide between HOAs for middle to upper middle class people, which are the ones known for controlling how your lawn can LOOK, but it's still up to YOU to change your lawn, and HOAs in lower income areas where people who own are still more likely to live in townhomes or condos instead of single family homes. The suburban HOA is the one that's associated with nosy, bossy neighbors.

As someone else already chipped in on my post, they used to live in a low income area in a townhome, where the HOA was used to fund community project and do general lawn care. My mom and I also both live in condos in low income areas, and, like I've been saying, the HOA is paid because it's THEIR job to do the mowing, weeding, outside home repair, etc. This is NOT the case for suburban HOAs.

An HOA for a condo is entirely a different beast than the HOA for a single family home in the suburbs. A condominium complex is an "HOA neighborhood" because all of the lawn space, the outside of the homes, etc.... that is the responsibility of the complex to upkeep and repair. It is your community fund for upkeeping the community. For a single family home, the HOA can fine you, but your property is still YOUR responsibility, so the money paid doesn't do anything for you, you still have to weed your own damn lawn.

I keep pointing it out because to act like all HOAs function the way the ones in the suburbs do is to act like everyone can afford to live in a single family home in suburbia. Poor people are more likely to live in condos or townhomes if they own instead of rent—they're smaller and cheaper than an actual house, and, as mentioned, if you can manage to save up a down payment, they're overall cheaper per month than renting even with the HOA fees. To not consider that for a significant chunk of people the HOA is a service that we pay money into and get actual services (lawn care, upkeep of the complex's public pool, outside repairs, etc) is to completely ignore the way that a lot of lower income people live as opposed to people in the suburbs.

Good afternoon TUMBLR - April 21th - 2024

''Mr. Plant has owed me a shoe since July 5, 1971."

Mohammedia, Morocco – 2002

It was beginning of June and I got a call from Rome: the kind Mrs. Sette - HR Representative of TECHNIP Italy - asks me if I am interested to on mission to Mohammedia, Morocco. Of course I am! Was my answer. A week later, I am summoned inside the mega headquarters of Technip Italia, in Rome, to carry out the medical examinations and sign the employment contract. At the time I had just bought a new car, an Alfa Romeo 147, so we organized a trip to Rome with my family. It was a pleasant trip and stay, and we had the opportunity to visit Sperlonga and Gaeta.

Sperlonga.

Gaeta.

I left for Casablanca at beginning of July, returning to work in Morocco after 11 years. I arrived at Mohammed V airport and with the ''excuse'' that Technip was aware of my past in Morocco, no one was there to welcome me. A Grand taxi took me to the Hotel Sabah as was previsiosly agreed - I would stay there for a few days, until I'll find a suitable accommodation. In the late afternoon I was joined by the Mission's Head, Mr. De Sanctis, a Roman guy, an elderly person with some walking problems. At dinner he explained to me that the team would be made up of a total of 4 people: a civil supervisor, a mechanic, and an electro-instrumental supervisor

THE PROJECT. The SAMIR refinery in Mohammedia, about 20 km north of Casablanca, was built by Italian Snamprogetti/SAIPEM in the '70s. The property had more recently been acquired by a Joint Venture between a Swedish Investment Fund and a wealthy Saudi investor. The new ownership had decided to modernize the complex, building new production plants next to the existing refinery. For this purpose, TECHNIP was contacted to follow up the partial demolition of the existing plants and part of the Tank Farm, and prepare the areas where the new plants would be built. Our mission was to supervise the demolitions of the tanks, and the preparation of the areas with selected materials capable of withstanding the considerable loads of the new installations. SAMIR had not yet appointed the Main Contractor of the new plants - a contract worth 316 million dollars - TECHNIP Italia had agreed to follow the preparatory works to try to ''get a foot in'' the refinery and undermine others competitors.

MISSION TASK FORCE. In addition to the aforementioned Mr. De Santis, the following people were part of the mission: Mr. Rinaldo Cozzi: originally from Cerro Maggiore (North of Italy). He was our electro-instrumental expert. A decent person, even if a little closed off. He only went out with us during the visits of the Technip manager Ing. Petrillo. I will meet Cozzi again in Shah – Abu Dhabi, where he had a position with SAIPEM pipeline. Mr. Mario Maggi, from Piacenza - a jovial and open guy, he was coming from a previous experience in Senegal. Expert in turbines, compressors etc, in truth he didn't have much to do since we were only talking about demolitions.

LIFE IN MOHAMMEDIA. Mohammedia is the seaside city of Casablanca. Equipped with somewhat old hotels, it is made up of residential areas of holiday villas built in the early 1980s. The city has therefore become a destination for medium-low level tourism, also following the construction of the refinery and the Power Plant overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

LOGISTIC. After an initial period in which I slept in hotel, I found a decent oceanfront apartment through a real estate agency. Inserted in a beautiful park, the apartment was on the first floor of a holiday condominium. The local owner was living abroad, and had entrusted the agency with the task of managing the rent from the apartment. I really enjoyed it, and I stayed in the same apartment for the entire ten months of my stay in Mohammedia.

Mr. De Sanctis lived in a villa on the Plage Manesmane.

Mr. Cozzi in another house near De Sactis, while Maggi had chosen to stay secluded in a villa further inside the city.

SUB-CONTRACTOR The Contractor that would carry out the work was chosen directly by the Technical Management of the refinery. Mr. Berrada, the Site Manager was a competent and approachable young engineer. The history of this Company is intertwined in a curious and surprising way with the attack that King Hassan II suffered on 16 August 1972, when the Royal Boeing 727, returning from an official trip to France, was attacked by military jets of the Force Armee Royale. According to the reconstruction of the event, the plane was hit on one of the engines, but the pilot managed to make escape the jet unscathed, and thus saving the life of the Sovereign. That pilot's brother was the owner of a small building Contractor from Casablanca. The pilot's exploits made the fortune of his brother, who in a short time became one of the largest entrepreneurs in the construction sector in Morocco, going so far as to build the so-called ''Twin Towers'' of Casablanca, which with their height of 128 meters are have long been the tallest skyscrapers in Morocco.

WORK PROGRESS. The rafinery plot was overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The progress of the works was quite regular, the demolition of old tanks continued apace and so did the creation of new areas for the new plants. To the South of the plant, divided only by a reception wall, stood the coal power plant built in the 1980s by the Italian Cimi Montubi Group.

FLOOD DISASTER - NOVEMBER 2002. Everything went well until the beginning of November. Yes, it's true, sometimes we had some problems getting the refinery operators out of their offices before proceeding with their demolition. But it had been raining cats and dogs for three days, even though they told me it was the season. On a Saturday morning the SAMIR management received a call from a dam Director, located approximately 45 km away from the plant. The Director warned that since the water inside the artificial reservoir of Barrage Oued El Maleh had now reached the overflow point, it had been decided to open the gates of the dam, and let part of the water flow into the Oued El Maleh , whose course, after reaching the refinery, flowed into the Atlantic between the refinery itself and the Royal Golf Club. The Dam Director estimated that the flood wave would reach the refinery towards the late afternoon of the same day. As a precaution, operations at the plant should have been stopped. A consultation with Saudi ownership categorically ruled out shut down onthe entire complex. The costs of shut down, lost production, and start-up were the reasons given for refusing to stop operations. Never was a decision more wrong.

At 3.00 PM order had been given to leave the plant. The water from the Ouadi El Maleh had already overcome the barrier set up at the entrance to the plant, and was spreading throughout the area. The area of our offices, lower than the rest of the refinery, was already heavily flooded. We returned to Mohammedia with in mind the worried faces of the operators who were preparing to spend the night in the plant. It was around 9.45 in the evening when the first explosions were heard. I went out onto the apartment balcony and looked towards the South: I could see some flashes that lit up the dark night. Firefighter and Red Crescent sirens. And then an explosion louder than all the others: we then learned that a diesel tank had been blown up. We would find the roof of the tank thrown like a giant frisbee 150 meters away. The fire had attacked the power station, and triggered the explosion when the water reached the high voltage bars. Most of the utilities were destroyed that night. Thanks to the work of firefighters who also came from Casablanca, and of the refinery operators, the fire was contained and did not reach the fuel depot area where there were dozens of tanks full of oil and diesel: it would have been a Biblical disaster.

Two operators lost their lives in the accident, and numerous were injured. When the refinery was made safe, the highest authorities in Morocco came to visit, first and foremost King Mohammed VI. The refinery management asked us to participate in the damage assessment, alongside a specially established insurance team. At the end of the survey, which lasted weeks, the damages were estimated at 157 million dollars. During the cleaning operations from the mud that had invaded the entire area of the plant, many teams of volunteers showed up after King Mohamed VI's appeal on TV. What remained was the regret of a disaster caused once again by a decision dictated by mere selfishness. The questions I asked myself at the time was: ''In his country, would the Saudi owner of the refinery have made the same decision, that is, not to stop the plant?''

END OF MISSION. At the end of April, the enormous cleaning operation of the refinery had been completed, even if production had not been able to resume due to the enormous damage caused by the flood and the subsequent fire. Our work to prepare the areas was coming to an end, and the most disparate rumors were circulating about the name of the Main Contractor who would win the contract for the new installation. The sentiment was that they would not be awarded to TECHNIP Italia, regardless of our performance during the Early Works.

Italian Giant SAIPEM was awarded the project.

"None of this is to say, by any means, that United States policymakers like unnecessary resorts to military coups or death squad regimes. The general progression of methods generally goes from the use of financial and economic power, to covert aid to destabilization or repression, and only to outright military force as the weapon of last resort. As John Perkins put it:

In countries like Ecuador, Nigeria, and Indonesia, we dress like local schoolteachers and shop owners. In Washington and Paris, we look like government bureaucrats and bankers. We appear humble, normal. We visit project sites and stroll through impoverished villages. We profess altruism, talk with local papers about the wonderful humanitarian things we are doing. We cover the conference tables of government committees with our spreadsheets and financial projections, and we lecture at the Harvard Business School about the miracles of macroeconomics. We are on the record, in the open. Or so we portray ourselves and so are we accepted. It is how the system works. We seldom resort to anything illegal because the system itself is built on subterfuge, and the system is by definition legitimate. However — and this is a very large caveat — if we fail, an even more sinister breed steps in, ones we [economic hit men] refer to as the jackals, men who trace their heritage directly to those earlier empires. The jackals are always there, lurking in the shadows. When they emerge, heads of state are overthrown or die in violent “accidents.” And if by chance the jackals fail, as they failed in Afghanistan and Iraq, then the old models resurface. When the jackals fail, young Americans are sent in to kill and to die.[243]

Although policy elites are willing to resort to violence when softer methods fail, whenever possible they prefer spectator democracies in which the range of public choices is carefully managed to exclude anything touching on the real structure of economic power. According to Terry Karl, U.S. involvement in Latin America has been guided by the ideology of electoralism, which asserts that “merely holding elections will channel political action into peaceful contests among elites and accord public legitimacy to the winners….”[244]

Panasonic in HARUMI FLAG, Tokyo, 2020

Harumi Flag, a new urban development project located in the Harumi 5-Chome District, has been launched. This development is touted as one of the legacies of the Tokyo 2020 Games.

This 18-hectare area will hold 5,632 privately-owned and rental apartments in 23 buildings. It will accommodate a total of 12,000 residents by 2024.

Energy Management

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government, in partnership with ten private companies, is planning to redevelop the buildings that hosted the Olympic Village of the 2020 Games into an urban town called HARUMI FLAG. The new town will incorporate residential condominiums, child care facilities, and senior housing to accommodate a wide variety of people’s lifestyles and needs.

The town will use hydrogen as its primary power source, though conventional grid-supplied electricity can be used to supplement it. The area will also use solar generation and power storage systems in common-use spaces in 21 high rises that are now under construction.

In addition to providing hydrogen, HARUMI FLAG will also utilize an area energy management system** to monitor and control electricity consumption in each of the town’s residential blocks. Data from each block will be analyzed by the energy management system to lower reliance on conventional grid-supplied power and to help predict peak demand. By using these solutions, HARUMI FLAG will become an innovative model for sustainable development.

Security & Disaster Prevention

HARUMI FLAG is the name of the game in the snazzy new town being developed by a handful of well-heeled developers. This 13.9 hectare urban village will rewrite the rules of urban renewal and make Tokyo a more livable city for all. Panasonic is proud to be a part of this bold initiative that promises a new era in city planning and management.

Aside from the requisite security and surveillance, the real show stoppers are a handful of innovative features and technologies that will leave a lasting impression on visitors of all ages. Among these is the aforementioned 750 network-connected cameras which send pictures and videos to a specialized emergency response center. Other gizmos include a virtual reality experience which will give the residents a sense of what's in store when they move into their new home in 2024. Moreover, the aforementioned technology is matched with a smart phone enabled security system that will notify users via text message and email as soon as a break-in is detected.

Public Area Lighting

HARUMI FLAG is the first town in Japan with a full-scale hydrogen energy infrastructure system that includes a station, pipelines and hydrogen fuel cell generators. A group of private companies, leveraging the expertise and funds of the Tokyo government, is engaged in unified development and operation of this 18-hectare area.

Panasonic is a key player in this project, offering a comprehensive package of urban development solutions including Hydrogen Power Generation, Energy Management and Security & Disaster Prevention. 750 network-connected cameras are also deployed in town areas and common-use spaces to ensure security for residents. Finally, the HARUMI FLAG sales center features a cutting-edge VR (virtual reality) display that demonstrates how to make the most of a small screen in a large space using a high-brightness laser display. It is a highly entertaining experience. It’s also a smart way to get a glimpse of a future town in the making. The technology is a product of the long and close partnership between Panasonic and the Tokyo metropolitan government.

Virtual Reality Experience

Virtual reality (VR) is computer technology that makes you feel like you are in another place. The software produces images, sounds and other sensations to create a world that appears to be real, but it's all a simulation. Check their site to know more details HARUMI FLAG／晴海フラッグ

A VR system typically requires a headset, a computer, and a device that creates a 3D environment. It may also have sensors that can collect stimuli response information and send it back to the VR system to improve the experience.

A number of industries are benefiting from VR technology, including science and medicine, entertainment, education and real estate. A VR system could allow a doctor to practice procedures with virtual patients without putting them at risk, for example, or architects can show detailed plans in 3D before a building is built.

Exploring the Different Types of Property Management Services Available

Property management is a critical aspect of the real estate industry, playing a significant role in ensuring that properties are maintained, tenants are satisfied, and owners receive a return on their investment. As the real estate market continues to evolve, the demand for specialized property management services has increased, leading to a variety of options available for property owners. In this article, we will explore the different types of property management services available, including residential, commercial, and specialized property management, along with the benefits and challenges associated with each type. Whether you are a property owner or a prospective tenant, understanding these services can help you make informed decisions.

Residential Property Management Services

Residential property management services are designed for property owners who rent out their residential properties, such as single-family homes, apartments, or condominiums. These services typically include tenant screening, lease preparation, rent collection, property maintenance, and handling tenant disputes. According to the National Association of Residential Property Managers (NARPM), property management firms can help increase rental income by an average of 10% through effective marketing and tenant retention strategies. Property managers also ensure compliance with local laws and regulations, reducing the risk of legal issues for property owners.

Commercial Property Management Services

Commercial property management services cater specifically to owners of commercial real estate, including office buildings, retail spaces, and industrial properties. These services go beyond the typical residential management tasks and often involve lease negotiations, tenant relations, property maintenance, and financial reporting. The commercial real estate sector is a significant part of the economy, with the global market valued at approximately $32 trillion in 2020, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Vacation Rental Management Services

With the rise of platforms such as Airbnb and VRBO, vacation rental management services have become increasingly popular.
