Considering ways to protect your commercial real estate properties

When considering ways to protect your commercial real estate properties, don't forget the properties which are most susceptible to vandals, the empty ones.

With a second major recession looming in the United States, more businesses are closing their doors, leaving property owners and property management companies holding responsibilities for maintaining vacant buildings, defending them against intruders and thieves.

The cost of this defense against property crime is minimal in comparison with the price tag of letting a property become devalued and unattractive to potential buyers and tenants.

There are several important considerations for maintaining the property value of vacant properties.

# Keep the outside appearance looking fresh and attractive.

# Security cameras prominently located to deter thieves

# Intrusion detection systems that set off an audible alarm

# Quarterly inspections of the fire alarm system to ensure its proper operation

# Glass break detection system

# 24/7 monitoring company to interface with local law enforcement and building  managers.                                                                                             

# Controlled lighting on the exterior and interior of the building, checked regularly by night time personnel

The costs of taking these precautions are just pennies when compared to the costs of replacing and repairing infrastructure destroyed or stolen by vandals and thieves.
