Managing multifamily property warm-weather amenities involves more than dumping the occasional bag of chlorine in the swimming pool. “Managing summertime amenities comes with unique operational pressures due to high demand and increased foot traffic,” observed LIVunLtd’s President and COO Brian Buccino. Additionally, “overcrowding, amenity misuse and supply strain are common challenges, especially during the summer when resident activity surges,” said Alexandra LaFlam, national account executive at WithMe Inc.
As such, Buccino, LaFlam and FirstService Residential’s Athenes Bauza told Connect CRE that continuous oversight of summertime features is required to ensure that residents remain safe while enjoying those swimming pools, deck chairs, dog parks, and barbecue pits.
