Aspects of Building Maintenance that are Neglected by the Building Owners and Management

The article in the following links has listed various aspects of building maintenance being neglected, namely:

1. Unidentified (unresolved) common area defects
2. Fire-fighting equipment maintenance
3. Fire door
4. Electrical installation
5. Water leaks
6. Gas piping
7. Lack of preventive maintenance

The statements are right and they should draw the attention of the building owners and management team. Severe implications can be occurred as a result of overlooking these aspects. 

I might comment/elaborate further based on the article whenever available.
