of the thermostat(s) at this time' of year. If any thermostats are
malfunctioning, they must be repaired' or replaced in order to maintain
comfort heating for the occupants.
Plumbing
7. The plumbing system shall be. restored to proper operating condition. The
following conditions were noted which require attention:
A. The toilet is not properly secured to the closet flange at the
floor, creating the potential for leaks at the wax ring seal.
B. The discharge line from the temperature/pressure relief valve
cannot be reduced in size from the valve outlet (3/4") in order to
assure proper valye operation. The present 1/2" piping from the
valve must be replaced with approved piping material. The terminal
end of the piping must discharge outside the building in a downward
direction.
C. The drain for the washing machine is not properly trapped allowing
for the potential escape of toxic sewer gases into the building.
D. The lavatory sink is not properly secured to the wall. Also the
connection between the sink waste pipe and the drain at the wall is
not properly tightened allowing the potential for waterleaks and
sewer gas infiltration into the building.
Bt:rilding permits must be obtained for the above items which involve
repairs or modifications to the structural. electrical, plumbirig or
mechanical systems of the building. Please check with the undeY'signed
inspectors for permit requirements prior to beginf'ing reoair.3, The'! ma'!
