Question and Answer by David G. Hunt
Q: It seems like winter was brutal to the building that we own. There are
several roof leaks, and our pavement is cracking. And that’s just what we can
see. Do you have any suggestions or checklists for winter recovery?
A: You are wise to be thinking in this direction. A lot of damage from winter,
whether a roof, HVAC equipment, paving or landscaping will only get worse
without attention, and will therefore be much more expensive to eventually
repair. So let’s work our way through the major areas of commercial building
maintenance. While our most important objective is to prevent further damage
to deteriorating systems, now is also the time to consider relatively inexpensive
cosmetic improvements that can enhance the image of your business.

Start by having a roofer inspect your roof, particularly if you have a flat roof.
Most roofers will make this inspection free of charge. Vertical leaders and roof
drains should be free of debris. There should be no ponding on the roof standing water is deadly to a roof. Blisters and alligatoring of the surface all
must be addressed. Flashing should be properly sealed and attached. Any debris
on the roof should be completely removed. Is it time to apply a fresh aluminum
coating to reduce your energy costs?

Paving does not last forever, but you can extend its life 50% by proper
maintenance. We highly recommend power sweeping if sand was used during
the winter. Sand is very abrasive to pavement (think “sandpaper”.) All cracking
should be sealed, and potholes repaired. Seal-coating may be warranted.
Because of environmental issues, all line-striping paint today is water-based,
which means it does not last as long as it used to. If your line-striping is faded
and hard to see, consider seal-coating with new line striping to follow. Curbs
should be inspected for cracking or chipping due to snow plows. Take a look at

David G. Hunt Named a Top 2014 CoStar
Power Broker
Autel US Leases Space in Farmingdale, NY
David G. Hunt, President of Hunt Corprate Services, Inc. has been
named a 2014 CoStar Power Broker, by CoStar Group, Inc. This annual
industry award recognizes distinguished professionals in commercial
real estate brokerage by highlighting the achievements of the U.S.
firms and individual brokers who closed the highest transaction
volumes in commercial property sales or leases in 2014 within their
respective markets.
Autel US (Huntington) has leased 12,500 square feet of flex space at 175
Central Avenue in Farmingdale, NY. David G. Hunt of Hunt represented
the landlord, Anton Cerrone Associates in the lease negotiations. The
tenant was represented by Alan Yaffe of United Realty.
Mr. Hunt qualified as one of the top industrial leasing brokers in the
Long Island market based on the total leasing transactions he closed
during the year. In order to be selected for this honor, Mr. Hunt’s overall
transaction volumes were evaluated against other commercial real
estate brokers active in the region by CoStar Group, and subsequently
ranked among the top brokers in the
market.
“The 12,500 square foot suite met Autel’s requirement for a larger space
with a substantial amount of office space. Our high parking ratio allowed for
just that,” said David Hunt. “The space
will be completely configured to their
specifications and they plan to move into
their new USA headquarters within a few
months.” The suite is part of a 50,000
square foot flex building in Farmingdale
that is now fully occupied.

90% warehouse space, and has three overhead drive-in doors. Presently,

configuration for LTS’s recent and future space requirements,” said Chuck
Syage of Hunt. “The landlord modified the office space to meet their
requirements.”
“A 10,000 square foot industrial building for sale is a rare find in today’s
marketplace,” said Andy Dorman of Hunt. “A woodworking business and a
full complement of trade machinery are included
with the sale of the building. The ideal purchaser
is someone interested in millwork, carpentry,
cabinet-making, architectural woodwork,
furniture, crown molding, wooden door or deck
assembly.”

afforded opportunities to live life to the fullest.
“This property is a well-maintained, free-standing warehouse with
attractive curb appeal,” said Tom Hanik of Hunt. “The current
owner is meticulous with maintenance
and repair, and this is a wonderful
opportunity to purchase a small
industrial building, which is often hard
to find.”
Hunt Corporate Services has exclusively
represented Life’s WORC for their
commercial real estate needs for many
years. “Headquartered in Garden City, the
space in Deer Park is used as a satellite
office for WORC, serving Suffolk County,”
said John Hoblin of Hunt.

Recycling Older Buildings - Part 1
Many commercial buildings on Long Island were built
fifty or sixty years ago. Buildings this old often have
facades that are deteriorating and dated, parking that is
insufficient, and a design or use that is now functionally
obsolescent. They are often a challenge to convert into
attractive and functional homes for business today.
were made to the owner on the most economical path to
getting the building ready to market. All interior walls and
partitions were removed. The building was cleared from
floor to ceiling and from exterior wall to exterior wall.
Temporary lighting was installed and the concrete slab
Hunt Construction Services, Inc. was hired by a
developer to rehabilitate a vacant 15,000 square foot
industrial building in Plainview. The façade was 60
years old, and the brick face was peeling. The parking
was insufficient by today’s standards, and the interior
of the building was sectioned off with several tenants,
all of whom had dilapidated office space. The exterior
property was overgrown with weeds and unwanted
vegetation. Miscellaneous debris was left on the
site. Concrete was damaged and there was a sink hole
in the parking lot. The tenants had vacated leaving
debris, shelving, scrap wood and abandoned furniture
and equipment. The building had leaky windows, a
dysfunctional alarm system, and large puddles on
the roof with improper drainage. Quite a turn-around
challenge, to say the least!
was swept clean. Knowing that a tenant would have their
own requirements for office layout, we recommended
construction of the interior offices at a later date based
on the needs of a prospective future tenant.
The owner’s objective was to completely renovate the
building with a new facade and interior space, and then
lease to a new tenant. However, new architectural plans
and renovation permits would take six months to complete.
Our game plan was to clean and renovate as much as
possible during this planning stage so that marketing
could begin. After thorough inspection, recommendations
Outside, brush-cutters were used to remove overgrown
vegetation. Chain saws and loppers were used to trim
perimeter trees. The site was cleaned of discarded
machinery, piles of discarded wood and other
assorted debris giving the property a clean more
defined appearance.
Upon closer inspection of the building’s brick
exterior, it was determined there were areas of
failed concrete masonry joints which needed to
be addressed. Scaffolding was erected to aid in
re-pointing several hundred feet of the building’s
exterior wall. A new alarm system was installed.
The roof drainage system was repaired with the
installation of new drain pipes inside and outside the
building. All windows were removed and replaced
with more economical energy efficient glass block
giving a fresh look to the sides of the building. An
area of the parking lot was excavated and after
repairing a broken waste pipe, the sinkhole was
backfilled and paved over.
The building was now clean enough to market
while permits were obtained for full architectural
renovation.

Spring Cleaning (Continued)
your drainage wells and make sure that they are draining
correctly.
You should have a maintenance contract for your HVAC
equipment. All HVAC equipment requires regular
maintenance. Now is the time for a service call to replace
filters, check belts and take care of any other problems.
Landscaping is next. Underground sprinkler lines
should be tested and readied for the season. Take note of
dead stock and order replacements. Mulch in the beds is
cheap, great for your plants, and looks great. Take a look
around for dead or hanging limbs from trees.
A walk around your building is a good idea. Look for
loose mortar, peeling or loose caulking, or other signs of
winter abuse. Are doors shutting correctly and are there
any obvious signs of air infiltration? Water stains on the
side of the building are indicative of drainage problems
on the roof.
And if you really want your building to stand out,
consider some low cost items such as painting sign
posts, protective bollards, and curbs. Washing windows
and planting flowers at your entrance way will also
create a nice impression. Yes, spring is here, and as
nature renews itself from the long cold winter, we can
do the same with the buildings that we own or manage.
