SPOTLIGHT ON TRIBORO MAINTENANCE


In 1978 Triboro Maintenance was established as one of New York's first comprehensive maintenance operations. For the past twenty-three years, Triboro has excelled as the one place to go for apartment turns and for any type of interior repair and restoration. This includes luxury properties as well as suburban garden apartments and government assisted buildings.

"While the quality of materials we use for cabinets, paints, floorboards and the like may vary due to a building's resources, the quality of service we provide is consistent." says Phil Avitabile, Triboro's CEO. "No matter where the property is located, we make certain we run a tight ship. The benefits to us and our clients are more than economic, they reinforce a solid reputation for the buildings we service and for our company."

Mr. Avitabile also points out that it's essential to maintain proper repairs so an apartment doesn't need to be revisited on a regular basis. To this end, Triboro maintains a consistent level of quality in all its properties. While buildings' budgets may vary, Triboro offers clean, rapid and courteous service to all its clients.

That work ethic has paid off. Triboro now has a staff of approximately 150 technicians and services the northeastern seaboard with offices in New York, Virginia and Maryland.

Triboro recognizes that once a tenant vacates an apartment, the clock is ticking. Each day an apartment remains vacant, precious rental dollars are lost. For many of its clients, Triboro maintains a comprehensive data-base of all leases in a property. Prior to a lease terminating, Triboro evaluates the needs of that particular apartment and has the material and a crew prepared to be onsite as soon as the apartment is empty.

Since every apartment turn can be unique, the management of large multifamily properties requires strong organization and careful implementation. It's no coincidence that Triboro Maintenance was one of the first real estate service companies to computerize. The company now maintains quality control through a computer system that tracks every work order and follows-up automatically until the work is completed.

Prior to the establishment of Triboro Maintenance, apartment turns and other interior repairs were often completed by various trades. Their work was overseen by a superintendent. While this may be acceptable for a small property with few units, the large and mid-sized properties recognized that a more comprehensive approach had to be taken to handle the varied responsibilities of numerous turns per month. For example, appliances often need to be replaced, walls and floorboards need to be repaired, windows need replacing, plumbing needs repair - and of course, there's always painting. To accomplish these tasks, Triboro has most maintenance trades in-house. They coordinate and manage all the work. Building owners and managers are pleased to get comprehensive results on a wide array of services with one phone call.

Triboro ensures that apartments do not remain vacant for long periods of time prior to new tenants. The company recognizes that a well-organized apartment turn can often be the difference between a profit and loss in managing real estate.

Quality work, dedicated employees, smarts and a need in the industry - these elements have been the formula for Triboro Maintenance's success. For more information on Triboro call Phil Avitabile 718-842-3400 or e-mail triboromaintenance.com.
