A public-record office lease case study showing $28,500 in common area misclassification: dedicated server room HVAC pooled into shared CAM instead of billed directly.

Amazon.com Services LLC2021 statementNNN leaseOffice

Dedicated Server Room HVAC billed at $28,500 in shared CAM pool.

Rule 12 hard finding: full $28,500 flagged.

What happened

Amazon's 2021 CAM reconciliation included $28,500 for HVAC equipment serving only Amazon's dedicated server room. This is a non-common-area expense: it does not benefit other tenants and must be billed directly to Amazon, not pooled. Rule 12 flags the full $28,500 as a hard finding.

Statement references

Dedicated Server Room HVAC

Lease evidence

Common area expenses are shared pro-rata; tenant-specific costs must be billed directly.
No tenant maintenance obligations that would alter this classification.

Why this matters for your firm

Technology tenants with server rooms are uniquely exposed to this type of misclassification because their infrastructure costs are large and clearly tenant-specific. When these costs are pooled into CAM, every other tenant effectively subsidizes one tenant's infrastructure.

Correction package excerpt

Request for Cooperative Review of Certain Line Items. The automated review flagged $28,500 in dedicated server room HVAC included in the shared CAM pool: this expense exclusively serves the Amazon tenancy.
