Commercial Site Integrity
The Commercial Site Integrity program fosters a strong working relationship with commercial, institutional, HOA’s, multifamily developments, and other nonresidential sites to ensure continued compliance with development and safety regulations. Another point of emphasis is the monitoring of any on-going or recurring maintenance efforts and the completion of deferred maintenance.
