Property manager failed to detect and escalate a major water leak in a timely manner, leading to $22,000 in water bills that the brokerage cannot afford to cover.

Workarounds Described

• PM manually checked water meter weeks after flagging high bill
• PM left high-priority issue low on list due to lack of formal system
• Water department never alerted property of abnormal usage

Implied Software Gaps

• Automated leak detection and alerting system that notifies property manager within hours of abnormal usage
• Workflow management software that enforces priority-based task deadlines and escalations
• Utility monitoring integration that sends real-time consumption alerts to property management software
