Two articles related to carbon monoxide poisoning

As a property management leader ~ resident/tenant safety from carbon monoxide poisoning should be a top priority…for those who own apartments, commercial and other real estate buildings/assets.

Do you have CO detectors installed in all of your rental housing units and areas with machinery–like your boiler room or centralized HVAC rooms? Do you have a written procedure in place regarding how often CO detectors are inspected?

Below are two articles related to carbon monoxide poisoning–and a reminder of the importance of checking your CO detectors and verifying the procedures with your team/resident regarding carbon monoxide inspections. Please share these stories with those on your leadership, leasing and maintenance teams~

Carbon monoxide poisoning blamed for killing couple

Tulsa couple victim of carbon monoxide poisoning
http://www.kjrh.com/dpp/news/local_news/man-dies-from-carbon-monoxide-poisoning-in-apartment

Within your property management company—-how often do you check the CO detectors at your rental housing communities and/or your real estate buildings? Does your team and your residents/tenants know the procedures in place in case of the presence of carbon monoxide?

Focusing on pollution liability…how does this tie into your real estate and apartment/commercial business insurance coverage? What is required from your insurance company…regarding CO detectors at your rental housing communities and/or your real estate buildings? Do your property insurance policies have any exclusions regarding pollution liability?

Would you like our team to do a comprehensive review of your real estate building insurance coverage—related to pollution liability?
