Owners in Downtown see this every season. ## Pattern two: building stock age Bungalow craftsman in the heights, modern townhome infill across the inner loop, executive estate in river oaks, large garden-style multifamily in the suburbs. Older stock in Downtown and Montrose carries different asset management failure modes than newer construction. ## Pattern three: missed capital triggers This shows up in Houston during peak season as annual strategy review. Document baseline readings before peak load. ## Pattern four: deferred service Multifamily asset management failures often trace to deferred service. Refresh the asset strategy, model the capital plan, run the hold and exit analysis, and benchmark performance to the local market on a documented cadence prevents emergency escalation. ## Authority reference Texas Justice of the Peace courts handles tenancy disputes that involve repair obligations under Texas Property Code Chapter 92.
