Trying to Prevent an outbreak
Hi all. I currently manage three apartment complexes, SF, and some commercial buildings. The largest apartment being 176 units and totally units around 350. I am trying to prevent the possibility of spreading or outbreaks.
In Tallahassee, FL and we currently have no confirmed cases; however I am sure its here we just don't know yet. I am trying to put measures in place to prevent anything. Here are the changes I have put in place. Looking for feedback and if anyone can think of anything I have missed. Yes I may being paranoid or over the top, but want to protect my tenants and staff. Thoughts?
*Closed our gym, pool and not allowing parties in our clubhouse.
*All staff/contractors that enter a unit, must wear disposable gloves inside the unit and will change gloves between units. Provided disposable mask for staff in case they chose to use.
*Spraying down of our office, doorknobs, bathrooms, twice a day.
*Asked tenants if they wish to withdraw non emergency work orders until this passes and restrict access to their units unless of emergency.
*Asked tenants to contact us if they have recently traveled overseas or have symptoms. (I know they probably wont).
*Asked tenants to avoid coming to office and asked to email, call, or text with work orders or issues.
*No longer accepting packages for tenants.
*Encouraged online rental payments and e-leases. Explained office staff will wear gloves when processing payments and paperwork.
*Asked tenant to contact us if they are experiencing job loss, loss of hours, etc. so we could set up a plan for them now.
