As a result, a sharp-looking property, can fetch higher rents. The upkeep of all aspects of the building are important, including the interior, exterior, facilities and utilities. Developing a schedule of regular maintenance can prevent any issues from becoming bigger problems. What you need to maintain: - **Exterior:** paint, windows, signage, landscaping, roofing, parking areas - **Interior:** walls, hallways, lighting - **Facilities and Utilities:** bathrooms, break rooms, stairways, elevators, escalators, air conditioning units, water heaters ### 2.      Continuous Improvements If a building falls in disrepair, it can lose current or potential tenants. Instead, commercial property management teams often continuously assess and improve the building’s amenities, technology and security. Or, another quick and simple way to receive positive attention is to beautify the outside of the property by adding trees, shrubbery or flowers. ![commercial property management](https://blog.sdnyrealty.com/hs-fs/hubfs/commercial_property_management_2-1.jpg?width=640&name=commercial_property_management_2-1.jpg "commercial property management") ### 3.      Know Your Building Attentive property managers regularly walk-through their [commercial real estate buildings](https://blog.sdnyrealty.com/blog/real-estate-checklist/) to see its condition first-hand.
