Improving Property Maintenance and Oversight

The City Auditors investigated how the Real Estate Committee and other companies manage property maintenance, including schools and nursing homes. The audit revealed the Real Estate Committee needs to improve its basis for prioritizing maintenance, gain a comprehensive overview of property needs, and ensure maintenance plans exist for all properties. The Real Estate Committee welcomed the recommendations and will take action, including developing prioritization principles and implementing a new system by 2026 for better maintenance oversight.
