If you are in this line, I would like to appreciate of all that you have done, in order to upkeep the building for the residents &/or office occupants' comfort. Building management is no easy job. Though we may make mistakes, we learnt from it. If you felt there's no one thanking you or notice your effort made, i just like to say Thank You for trying to make the community a better place to live. As long you are doing what is right.
