I went u�wards the bathroom and protruding from the ceiling just outside the bathroom door was a sewer drain pipe and cleanout for the upstairs plumbing. 1 saw fluid leaking form the bottom of cleanout. When I went into the bathroom, I noted ar. S uap under the sink. Mr. Sprague stated that the shower stall drain had a poor wnnection and backed up frequenUy. It appe.ss to me that none of the plumbing in this unit is vented. Ther�. is a hall tunning along the bathroom and at the end of the hall is a bedroom. There is a window in th�s room with a sill height of approximately 80 inches off the floor. There was a very unstable six foot ladder placed under the w�ndow which is for emergency egress. There was mold in the carpet and on the wall ai the floor of this bedroom. There was no smoke detector in the azea of the bedroom. The closest smoke detector was in the kitchen. From the living room, there aze two steps down into the kitchen, through a door and into a large rec room.

There is a wet bar in the room and the sink has an S uap. 1'here is a bed in the room sr 1 checked the height of the two win,lows in the room and they were 53 inches off the tloor.

In the kitchen sink has an S trap. On the north wall of the kitchen are waste drainage pi�es for the upper living unit. These drain pipes go from the ceiling to the floor of this unit and the vent pipe for this system ends at approximately four feei off the floor of this kitchen. There is a vent fan in the kitchen which is manually operaced and the tenants stated that they were told not to run the fan because it consumed too much electrical energy. Light fixtures were missing covers throughout the �nit, and several of the electrical outlets were missing backcovers. Upon leaving the apartment I noted the electrical conduit on the exterior of the building which supplies the main electrical service for the building. At the base of the conduit where it tumed to enter the building behind the breaker box inside, there was water dripping from the conduit. This is the reason the for the tenant being shocked along with a very good prognosis that the services is not grounded. The tenant in apartment "A" opened her door just as I was leaving and stated that she did not have acccss to the breaker box which supplied her unit. The service located in
