Details That Help the Roofer
A stain in one unit may start above another unit, since water travels along decking before it drips. Note which units report water, on which floors, and whether it leaks every rain or only in wind-driven storms.
Have these details ready when possible
Property ZIP code, building type, unit or common area, tenant contact process, roof access, active drips, photos for the insurer, and preferred inspection window.

Roof Maintenance
Periodic roof checks of flashing, vent boots, valleys, sealant and the attic above units can catch problems before more tenants are affected. Base maintenance plans on what the roofer actually observes, not on fixed replacement schedules, and keep dated photos of each repair.
