Residential Living Monthly Inspection Checklist
by Josh Prather, from the Community
This residential living monthly inspection checklist helps facility teams verify cleanliness, maintenance, and safety across shared living spaces. Core items include general housekeeping standards, condition of floors, walls, windows, lighting, and ventilation, as well as checks for fire extinguishers, alarms, evacuation plans, emergency exit lights, and recorded fire drills. Electrical safety covers outlet function, intact covers, power box clearance, and absence of unauthorized extension cords, plus GFCI operation. The template also reviews bathroom cleanliness and repairs, hot water availability, leak detection, and supply levels. Storage practices and SDS sheet availability are confirmed, along with laundry equipment upkeep and a daily sanitizing log. Exterior areas are assessed for trash control, sidewalk condition, secure doors, paint, and window integrity to maintain a safe, compliant facility.
