Operating & Maintaining The Pinnacle Marina Tower

Like any other High-rise Residential Building the Pinnacle is a building of major proportions requiring tremendous attention to detail.  The mechanics alone are mind boggling to the average person.

There are Elevators, Pumps, Lighting, Boilers, Water Softeners, Plumbing, Valves, Sprinklers, just to mention a few.   Then there is the people factor – Staff, Residents, Vendors, Contractors, Service personnel, Delivery people and so on.

What follows is an extensive list of duties that must be performed by our onsite managers.  This list does not include what is done at the management corporate office such as financials, collections, statements, accounts receivable, and accounts payable.
