Laundry rooms in New York City apartment buildings can be a major source of expenses due to the large amount of maintenance work needed to keep them up and running.
Dryers won’t get warm, vents get clogged, and washing machines can break down unexpectedly. These problems can happen at any time and get reported by tenants at all hours. While your equipment continues to age, replacement parts may be hard to find, and your maintenance team spends too much time focusing on the laundry room instead of the building itself.
But it doesn’t always have to be that way. Partnering with managed laundry room services can help take these maintenance tasks off your plate as well as the costs that goes into servicing all your machines. Here’s how managed laundry room services help:
Reducing Headaches for Constant Repairs
Whether it’s an apartment building, student housing, or a multifamily property, the laundry machines and dryers are in constant use, running sometimes dozens of cycles a day, which can put significant wear on components. When the machines break down, it can lead to frustrated tenants who expect the situation to be resolved.
This means coordinating with maintenance teams, diagnosing the issue, ordering replacement parts, and fielding further tenant complaints until the maintenance team can fix the problem.
Managed laundry room partners can handle these issues and communications, allowing you to free up your time to focus on more important aspects of your building.
Handling After-Hours Problems
Tenants operate on different schedules. Some work nights, some are gone during the day, but they all need to clean their clothes. If an issue occurs in the middle of the night, or very early on a Sunday morning, property managers need to deal with the issue.
When you have a laundry partner, they’ll receive the communique regarding any issues with the machines. They can handle the maintenance coordination to see the problem through without interrupting you in the middle of the night.
Avoiding Pitfalls with Outdated Equipment
Older equipment can be problematic and lead to a constant flow of service calls. They’re prone to breaking down more often, and their replacement parts are becoming rarer and harder to obtain, which delays the inevitable of replacing the machines with newer models.
A managed laundry room partner will provide the latest machines that are reliable and efficient, which helps you avoid repeated service requests over constant breakdowns.
Infrastructure Issues Can Be Resolved
Laundry room services work by renting out space in your building. They then design and install modern machines. They can work with electricians and HVAC technicians to ensure that the room is set up for success and able to handle the traffic and the plumbing, electricity, and ventilation usage.
No More Tenant Laundry Complaints
Having a laundry room partner to manage the room and machines means no more tenant complaints about laundry, all of those are directed to your partner who will then dispatch technicians to repair the issues as quickly as possible to ensure that the laundry room is functioning.
