Assessments (CNA) & (ENA)
CNA
LCS provides clear and easy-to-read narratives with well considered recommendations and a concise Budget/Scope plus a Needs-Over-Time table with cost estimates for addressing deficiencies requiring attention and opportunities for effective improvements across sites, systems, building and dwelling units. For affordable housing providers, these assessments support re-syndication, funding applications, and reserve expenditures. A clear understanding of your buildings’ needs enables accurate capital planning and budgeting.
ENA
Our Essential Needs Assessments (ENA) evaluate the immediate and mid-term needs of critical building systems and elements at approximately half the cost of a CNA. ENAs concisely address key systems, and building elements focusing particularly on urgent and mid-term property needs that could compromise the longevity of your buildings, and the safety and well being of your residents. By focusing on essential elements, and inspecting representative apartment units, ENAs deliver targeted, actionable insights and recommendations.

O & M
Our Operations and Maintenance (O&M) services help you ensure the optimal performance and longevity of your buildings. We provide customized O&M Manuals detailing care and maintenance procedures tailored to your facilities, along with assistance in providing data for your maintenance management system. Generally it is very difficult for maintenance staff to find the time to document the facilities data and standard procedures needed to efficiently and effectively maintain a building and its systems. Additionally, we offer technical assistance and training to help implement best practices and maintain a culture of proactive maintenance.
Resiliency & Emergency Preparedness Plan (REPP)
Resiliency & Emergency Preparedness Plan (REPP)
REPP
Our Emergency Evacuation and Resiliency Plan (EERP) assesses your property’s preparedness for disasters such as fires, floods, and earthquakes. Certified firefighters and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) professionals conduct thorough evaluations to ensure critical system shutoffs - gas, water, and electricity—are clearly identified and accessible, enabling swift action to protect lives and property. We also evaluate surrounding areas to identify potential risks that could cause damage during an emergency. Additionally, our plans include detailed egress routes for tenants and important data the can help your local first responders in an emergency.
