Parking with no one watching it leaks 10% to 25% of its revenue

Parking with no one watching it leaks 10% to 25% of its revenue

Propmodo estimates parking revenue leakage at 10% to 25% at properties without active monitoring, and says underpricing costs the average multifamily property about $100,000 a year. Sandbrook argues AI tools can surface that missed income. With 5% to 10% cap rates, a few hundred thousand dollars of durable annual NOI can move value by millions at already-built garages.

  • 01Propmodo describes the usual setup as parking handled via a vendor contract rather than a dedicated owner-side team, and estimates leakage runs 10% to 25% at properties without active monitoring.
  • 02A few hundred thousand dollars of durable annual parking income can move a valuation by millions, on a garage that already exists.
  • 03Older properties can test parking technology through third-party arrangements before committing capital, but hospitals and other healthcare sites still need people at the entrance.

Why this rooftop HVAC unit can’t just sit on its curb

Why this rooftop HVAC unit can’t just sit on its curb

Anchor Products' Brandon Reynolds inspected a ten-year-old adhered EPDM roof and found HVAC units unattached to their curbs and conduit fastened through the membrane under cracking caulk. Professional Roofing, MicroMetl and ASCE 7-22 frame restraint as an engineered system from unit to curb to structure, while FM Global rates roof assemblies by uplift pressure with a safety factor of two.

  • 01Codes moved past relying on unit weight; many jurisdictions require an engineer’s certification.
  • 02A hold-down bracket on a standard curb satisfies no wind code by itself; the rated system runs from unit to curb to structure under a professional engineer's stamp.
  • 03FM Global's uplift ratings carry a safety factor of two, so an FM 1-60 assembly is meant for a 30 psf design load, and the rating number is not a wind speed.
