Comprehensive Outdoor Property Walkthrough Checklist
Building Exterior/Common Grounds
Regular inspections of the building’s exterior protect one of your most visible and valuable assets. By catching cracks, water damage, and other wear early, RidgePoint helps prevent costly structural repairs and keeps the property looking professional. Ensuring clean, debris-free grounds and accessible walkways also reduces liability risks and maintains a safe, welcoming environment for tenants and visitors.
Landscaping
Healthy, well-maintained landscaping improves curb appeal, tenant satisfaction, and long-term property value. Our inspections identify early signs of overwatering, dead patches, or overgrown vegetation so maintenance can be scheduled before small issues become expensive replacements. A consistent review also ensures irrigation systems operate efficiently, saving water and reducing operating costs.
Parking Lot
The parking lot is often the first impression of a property, and a common source of safety and liability issues. Routine checks help prevent slip, trip, and fall incidents, ensure compliance with accessibility standards, and extend pavement life by addressing cracks or potholes early. RidgePoint’s documentation of signage, lighting, and vehicle activity also improves site security and accountability.
Loading dock
Loading docks are high-traffic areas where safety and efficiency directly impact tenant operations. Regular inspections confirm that equipment and safety systems are in good working order, that emergency exits remain clear, and that tenants are following storage and access guidelines. This proactive attention minimizes downtime, reduces accidents, and ensures compliance with building and fire codes.
Exterior Lighting Check
Scheduled lighting reviews in spring and fall help confirm that timers, photocells, and fixtures adjust properly with changing daylight hours. This proactive check saves energy, ensures full nighttime coverage, and maintains consistent exterior visibility for safety, security, and curb appeal.
Exterior Signage (Corner / Monument)
Your signage reflects your property’s professionalism and visibility. Regular reviews catch fading, vandalism, or lighting issues before they impact appearance or tenant branding. RidgePoint documents each sign’s condition, ensuring your exterior always presents a clean, well-maintained image to visitors and passersby.

Comprehensive Indoor Property & Facility Walkthrough Checklist
Vacant Units
Consistently inspecting vacant units safeguards your property between tenants and preserves asset value. Early detection of water intrusion, mold, or pest activity prevents damage that can quickly become expensive. By documenting the unit’s condition, RidgePoint also helps prove readiness for new tenants and limits disputes around turnover costs or liability.
HVAC Systems
Maintaining proper HVAC settings in vacant or low-use spaces helps protect both comfort and capital equipment. RidgePoint ensures thermostats are functioning and temperatures are set to prevent frozen pipes in winter or humidity damage in summer. This small step lowers energy waste while extending the life of the mechanical systems.
Lockboxes
Lockboxes provide secure, efficient access for property managers and service providers. Regular checks confirm that keys are present and operational, ensuring quick entry when maintenance or inspections are needed. Documenting lockbox condition also enhances site security and accountability across vendors and tenants.
Restrooms
Clean, functional restrooms reflect well on property management and prevent hidden maintenance problems. Routine inspections catch leaks, clogs, and fixture wear before they escalate into plumbing failures or water damage. Stocking supplies and confirming sanitation ensures each visit leaves a professional impression for tenants and visitors.
Dust, Debris, Cobwebs
Cleanliness signals attention and care and it prevents larger issues like pest infestations or air-quality concerns. RidgePoint’s regular reviews keep all rooms, closets, and warehouse areas free from buildup, helping you maintain a consistently well-kept environment that aligns with tenant and ownership standards.
Office & Warehouse Floor
Clean, even flooring keeps tenants safe and creates a strong first impression during tours or inspections. Regular reviews allow RidgePoint to identify cracks, stains, or uneven areas early, reducing liability risk and preventing long-term deterioration of the building’s interior finishes.
Vacancy Tracking (Number of Vacant Units)
Accurate documentation of all vacant units ensures full visibility into occupancy, readiness, and maintenance needs across your portfolio. RidgePoint’s consistent reporting helps property managers plan turnarounds, align with leasing teams, and maintain a clear record for ownership and budgeting.
Lighting (Interior / Emergency / Exit)
Reliable lighting is critical for both safety and perception. Our inspections verify that interior and emergency fixtures are working correctly and compliant with code, while identifying any flickering or outages that affect presentation and security. Properly maintained lighting improves tenant satisfaction and reduces liability exposure.
Mail & Packages
Unattended mail or packages can create confusion, security concerns, or delays during tenant transitions. RidgePoint ensures all items left behind are documented and transferred to management, keeping the property organized and reducing risk of misplaced or sensitive materials.
Spigot check
Unlocked or corroded spigots invite unauthorized water use and potential freeze damage. RidgePoint verifies that all outdoor spigots are secure, functional, and protected to prevent costly leaks or property damage—especially during seasonal transitions.
Fire, Life, Safety
Routine inspections of fire alarm panels, extinguishers, and control rooms protect tenants and help maintain compliance with local codes. RidgePoint ensures systems are in “ready” condition, properly secured, and free of obstructions, reducing emergency response delays and minimizing insurance risk.
