Data to manage your managers — and plan CapEx risk.

The Property Condition Audit is independent operations intelligence for self-managed portfolios. Unannounced, objective, and geotagged — a normal-day snapshot of how each property is actually being operated, and where capital risk is developing.

Owners already trust DDP to identify risk before acquisition. The Property Condition Audit applies those same independent, industry-trained eyes to ongoing operations.

How it works

Auditors collect. Rules grade.

Unannounced

Visits are unannounced, and the manager does not walk with the auditor. Leadership sees a normal day — not a property prepared for inspection.

Documented

The field team validates the lot map, flies the drone, records a 360° drive-through, and walks the property — every visible deficiency geotagged with standardized defect labels.

Graded by rule

Auditors don’t grade. A separate QC team applies fixed thresholds and automatic-red rules to the collected defects — never a subjective opinion.

Delivered

Final materials within two weeks of the visit: graded report, maps, imagery, and the raw deficiency data behind every grade.

What you get

Graded PDF Report: Category-level grades, separate Operating and Capital scores, and a total property grade.
Drone Lot Map & Lot-Map Validation: Aerial imagery with the lot map verified against the ground.
360° Property Record: A visual drive-through of the community — review any property from your desk.
Geotagged Deficiency Data: Every defect pinned to a map with standardized labels and photos.
Exportable CSV: Location, description, photo, and timestamp for every deficiency — ready to become tickets and work orders.

Missing storm-drain lids. Energized electrical on vacant lots. Dead or hazardous trees. Water leaks flooding lots. Trip-and-fall hazards, debris, and tenant-culture issues. Documented consistently — park after park, audit after audit.

Two scores, because there are two problems

A red grade can mean two very different things: a property that genuinely needs capital, or a property where the manager isn’t enforcing standards. The Audit separates them.

Every category is sorted into Operating or Capital responsibility — matched to your org structure, starting from DDP’s baseline rubric. Leadership sees which problems belong to the manager and which belong to the budget.

Management is paid to execute. The Audit independently verifies whether execution is happening — it doesn’t replace your regional team, it gives them better data and a wider span of control as the portfolio grows.

Why recurring

One audit is a baseline.
Three or four a year is a management system.

A single audit tells you where each property stands today. Recurring audits tell you which direction it’s moving:

Whether operating conditions are improving or declining
Whether previous deficiencies were actually corrected
Whether CapEx deployment is reducing defect counts
Where maintenance discipline or tenant culture is starting to slip

Watching defective electrical pedestals fall from 138 to 100 to 50 is proof that capital is working. A debris count that climbs quarter over quarter is an operating-control problem you catch early — instead of after a full year.

The Property Condition Audit is a systematic, visual, non-invasive assessment of visible deficiencies in accessible areas. It is not sewer scoping, concealed-system testing, or an engineering certification — for those, see Onsite Recon and its add-on menu.

If our team is already routed near one of your properties, we’ll run a full Property Condition Audit and hand you the report, grades, drone map, 360° view, and deficiency data. All we ask in return is a candid review call.
