Excellence - See all tasks through to completion

Yatsel Benitez has always been on top of things before any request comes in. During his time at the property, numerous significant issues have arisen, and his prompt action not only saved the property but also saved a considerable amount of money. This was evident in the most recent event that occurred on Friday, August 11th.

On that day, there was a sudden problem: puddles of water had appeared throughout the sidewalk hallway between the buildings. Initially, it seemed like an overflow issue, but it turned out to be the boiler responsible for providing hot water to the entire property. Faced with residents waiting at the office, already upset about the situation, he wasted no time and investigated the matter. It was determined that a valve needed replacement, and he promptly found a source for the necessary part.

In a nutshell, he effectively fixed the issue, and it was resolved before lunchtime. This swift resolution led to more than three residents expressing their gratitude, both to me and to him, for addressing the problem urgently and efficiently. Teamwork is the key, and when he excels, it reflects positively on the entire team, contributing to the success of our shared goals.

Excellence - Go the Extra Mile

Felix has been with the company for more than 3 years. When his manager first came to Ashford, they were unaware of his quality and attitude. However, after a year, they can confidently say that he is the greatest asset to Ashford.

As a lead maintenance personnel, Felix does not only close tickets and make residents happy, but he goes above and beyond by coming up with new ideas on how to cut costs and increase revenue for the property. Whenever the individual tells him what they want, he always comes up with plans on how to do it and never says no. Here is a list of things he has done to reduce costs:

Blue Pump: Instead of buying a new blue pump, Felix started fixing the pump by only changing the impulser, which saved the property around $800 to $1000.
Boiler Heat Exchanger: Instead of calling vendors to fix the heat exchange for $7000 to $8000, Felix came up with the idea to take out the heat exchange, clean it or replace only the damaged tube which costs only $2000.
AC Heat Pump to No Heat Pump: Felix came up with the idea to rewire and get around the AC unit so that the property does not have to use a heat pump during the winter season, eliminating the need for freon.
Shop Remodeling: Steve came up with the new plans to remodel the shop, and Felix built and organized it as they wanted.

During the time of freeze, Felix was at the property all day and night to fix the leak. His commitment, hardworking attitude, ownership mentality, care, and going above and beyond are the qualities that make him a good candidate to deserve the EOM award.er service.
