Facility Maintenance Checklist for Tri-State Offices

A practical checklist for office managers. Run through it monthly, and you'll catch most problems while they're still cheap to fix.

Monthly

☐ Walk all doors — latching, closers, panic hardware

☐ Check restrooms for leaks, running valves, and slow drains

☐ Test emergency and exit lighting

☐ Inspect ceiling tiles for new stains

☐ Visual check of electrical panels for scorching or tripped breakers

Quarterly

☐ HVAC filter changes and coil checks

☐ Roof and drainage inspection (especially before winter)

☐ Bulk re-lamp audit — replace failing fixtures in groups

☐ Parking lot and walkway inspection — trip hazards, striping, lighting

☐ Fire extinguisher and sprinkler visual checks

Seasonal (tri-state weather)

☐ Fall: heating startup, gutter cleaning, seal gaps before winter

☐ Winter: snow/ice plan, monitor for ice dams and freeze risks

☐ Spring: cooling startup, winter damage walk, drainage checks

☐ Summer: cooling performance, humidity and condensation checks

Don't do this alone

A checklist only works if someone owns it. If your team is stretched thin, Asset Aurality runs these programs for offices across New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut — one point of contact, documented completion.
