Maintenance Spending as a Percentage of Total Expenses

◀ Previous measure Next measure ▶

We treat high maintenance expenses as good — they mean you are looking after your buildings. But what if these expenses are high because you didn't fix minor problems early or can't afford to replace worn-out components? You will need to think about what this measure says about your co‑op.

Scoring System

See your co‑op’s performance on a scale of one to four houses:

• Four houses (a home run!) puts the co‑op in the top 15% of its peers
• Three and two houses represent middle-of-the-road performance, a bit better (3 houses) or a bit worse (2 houses)
• One house puts the co‑op in the bottom 15%

The vertical lines on each of the bars (the years) divide the four levels. Good performance is seen by appearing on the right-hand side of the scale.

Where Do these Numbers Come From?

Maintenance spending as a percentage of total expenses is how much this co‑op spent on routine upkeep, including cleaning services and waste removal during the year, stated as a percentage of all its expenses, including a contribution to its capital replacement reserve. The numbers come from the information co‑ops report to the Agency on their Annual Information Returns.
