The challenge

Coordinating landlord and tenant cleaning requirements

Yorkdale’s food service tenants operate individual kitchens connected to shared exhaust infrastructure. The cleaning scope therefore crosses two areas of responsibility: the landlord’s common system and each tenant’s branch ductwork. Completing both parts requires coordination with property management and individual operators. Work also needs to fit around mall hours and tenant activities in a busy retail environment.

The solution

One coordinated program for common and branch ductwork

We clean the common ductwork associated with the pollution control units, known as PCUs, including the ductwork running between them. The program also includes the branch ductwork for each of the 20 tenants connected to the system.

We coordinate scheduling with property management across the participating tenants. Planning the common and individual work together helps us organize access throughout the connected infrastructure.

We arrange service around mall hours and tenant operations to keep disruption to a minimum. Four visits per year provide a recurring schedule for this shared cleaning scope.

The result
