Drive-By & Security Checks
Drive-by and security checks from Envision Property Services add visibility between scheduled surveys.
Preserving Properties. Preventing Problems.
They cover exterior security and visible condition, without entering the home or disturbing the occupants.
Each check is written down. A drive-by is not a rental condition survey and does not replace one.
A broken window, an unsecured door, or visible damage can sit between surveys. The drive-by records what is visible from outside, on that day.
What we observe
Exterior-only, publicly visible
Checks are limited to publicly visible exterior observations and confirm that a property appears secure and intact at the time of the visit. All observations are recorded factually. Early indicators, exterior concerns, and obvious maintenance items only.
- Doors, windows, and garages appearing secure
- Signs of forced entry, vandalism, or damage
- Obvious exterior damage or deterioration
- Unusual activity or indicators of vacancy
- Accumulated mail, packages, or debris
- Exterior safety concerns visible from the street or common areas
Documentation
Time-stamped observations
Each check is documented and time-stamped. When something needs follow-up, the notes go to the property manager.
When a drive-by is used
- Between scheduled occupied surveys
- During extended vacancies or listing periods
- Following weather events or neighborhood incidents
- When owners or managers want added exterior visibility
On the Preventative Maintenance Plan, twice-yearly drive-by reports are included alongside occupied surveys — see the PMP page for plan details.
