While cost-saving measures are often necessary in property management, certain shortcuts can lead to significant mold-related issues. It’s crucial to understand and avoid these common pitfalls:
1. Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) System Management
2. Deferred Maintenance
3. Water Intrusion Management
4. Additional Considerations
By implementing these strategies and maintaining a proactive approach to building maintenance and moisture control, property managers can significantly reduce the risk of mold issues. Prioritize long-term building health, invest in proper maintenance and moisture control measures, and stay vigilant to create a healthier environment for building occupants while minimizing operational costs and liability risks.
