How often should an HOA inspect its common areas?

Common practice, not regulation: grounds, roads and lighting monthly on the same route; the pool weekly in season; playgrounds and courts monthly; life-safety equipment quarterly; roofs and building exteriors annually or after a storm; the violation drive on its own rhythm. Set each as a cadence and the walks create and assign themselves.

How it works

Properties → the association → cadence; Sitesui creates the next walk when it falls due and reminds the manager the evening before.
Two cadences on one community (monthly grounds, annual building) are scheduled separately or in bulk.
The coverage view (Multi-site) grades every community against its own cadence.

What it doesn't do

Your CC&Rs, insurer or state may require more; the cadence guide frames these as common practice.
