Default Suggestions for All Buildings
The Nebraska Main Street Network recommends that all building owners do the following:
Conduct monthly walkthroughs of all areas, with special attention to vacant upper floors and the basement, to spot leaks, damage, pests, or other concerns before they worsen.
Inspect the roof twice a year, ideally during seasonal transitions, to ensure gutters, downspouts, scuppers, and roof surfaces remain in good condition.
Assess brick and masonry regularly for mortar integrity, water damage, or deterioration from impacts such as vehicles or trash receptacles.
Perform weekly storefront upkeep by sweeping, cleaning doors and windows, and tending to plants and landscaping.
