Deferred Maintenance
Postponed physical repairs or servicing that accumulate over time, resulting in accelerated asset degradation, safety liabilities, and higher future capital costs.
Deferred Maintenance represents necessary repairs, routine servicing, and capital replacements that have been delayed or postponed to future budget cycles.
Allowing maintenance backlogs to accumulate damages tenant retention, causes accelerated physical asset deterioration, increases safety liabilities, and directly diminishes property market valuation during sale or refinancing appraisals.
