Pl easant Hi 11, DR 97455
Dear Mr. Roberts:
At the request of your tenant, we recently conducted a courtesy
inspection of your property located at 686 W. Quinalt, Springfield,
Oregon. This inspection revealed several areas of concern that
require your attention. They consist of the following:
PLUMBING
1. The dishwasher leaks excessively, causing water to
accumulate in the sink cabinet.
STRUCTURAL
1. Tile and plaster board are missing around the bathtub,
allowing water to accumulate on the closet floor of the
adjacent bedroom.
2. The masonry fireplace and chimney are excessively cracked
and are separating from the building wall. The separations
are notable at the top of the firebox, below the smoke
chamber, which is indicative of movement from either
temperature extremes or settlement of the fireplace. The
fireplace must not be used in its present condition, and
should be removed o~repaired to a safe condition.
3. The required smoke detector is missing and must be replaced
with an operable unit, which should be reconnected to the
existing wiring provided for that purpose.
