Safety & Operational Risk Management at the High Desert Museum

The Zelener Group takes a proactive, detail-oriented approach to operational risk management, ensuring the safety, stability, and long-term performance of its properties. From tenant experience to property maintenance and capital project oversight, every aspect of operations is approached with an eye toward minimizing risk and maximizing asset value.

Key risk management strategies include:

  • Tenant & Property Oversight: Routine property inspections are conducted to assess safety conditions, structural integrity, and compliance with municipal codes. Tenant improvement projects are reviewed for risk exposure and managed with clear contractual expectations.

  • Vendor & Contractor Protocols: All third-party vendors and contractors are screened for insurance compliance and safety records. Work performed on-site follows strict scheduling, permitting, and supervision protocols to mitigate liability and ensure quality standards.

  • Access & Security Controls: Properties are equipped with access control systems, surveillance technologies, and secure entry protocols tailored to the needs of each asset type, whether multifamily, industrial, or commercial.

  • Preventative Maintenance Programs: Mechanical systems, fire suppression equipment, and critical infrastructure are maintained on preventive schedules to reduce downtime, control costs, and avoid emergency repairs.

  • Insurance Program Alignment: Risk profiles are regularly reviewed with brokerage and carrier partners to ensure insurance coverage matches the evolving needs of the portfolio—balancing cost control with adequate protection.

  • Environmental Compliance: The team actively manages environmental responsibilities across its holdings, including proper waste management, water use efficiency, and adherence to environmental regulations in development and renovation projects.

These risk-conscious practices allow the Zelener Group to operate with confidence and control, reinforcing their commitment to responsible ownership and high-performance real estate assets across diverse markets.
