2500 Louisville Rd
Louisville , KY Page 3 of 35 Report Overview THE BUILDING IN PERSPECTIVE The building showed no signs of major flaws concerning the structure. Overall general maintenance appears to have been lacking in numerous areas in the building and around the property. The report will review the property as well as the building. Please read the report and feel free to contact me with any questions regarding the report or the home. CONVENTIONS USED IN THIS REPORT For your convenience, the following conventions have been used in this report. Major Concern: a system or component which is considered significantly deficient or is unsafe. Significant deficiencies need to be corrected and, except for some safety items, are likely to involve significant expense. Safety Issue: denotes a condition that is unsafe and in need of prompt attention. Repair: denotes a system or component which is missing or which needs corrective action to assure proper and reliable function. Improve: denotes improvements which are recommended but not required. Monitor: denotes a system or component needing further investigation and/or monitoring in order to determine if repairs are necessary. Deferred Cost: denotes items that have reached or are reaching their normal life expectancy or show indications that they may require repair or replacement anytime during the next five (5) years. Please note that those observations listed under “Discretionary Improvements” are not essential repairs, but represent logical long term improvements. IMPROVEMENT RECOMMENDATION HIGHLIGHTS / SUMMARY The following is a synopsis of the potentially significant improvements that should be budgeted for over the short term. Other significant improvements, outside the scope of this inspection, may also be necessary. Please refer to the body of this report for further details on these and other recommendations. MAJOR CONCERNS Major Concern: Thermal Inspection of the electrical system revealed the need for numerous repairs. These should be a high priority for safety reasons. Unsafe electrical conditions represent a shock hazard. A licensed electrician should be consulted to undertake the repairs as it was noted that the added electrical panels showed no signs of having been approved by local City Code Inspectors. Please refer to the Electrical portion of the report for further information. Major Concern; Repair: The aged condition of the skylights has resulted in leakage and subsequent water damage to the interior. SAFETY ISSUES Safety Issue: The installation of smoke detectors in various areas is recommended. Safety Issue: A drip loop should be present for the electrical wiring if the water fountain is to remain directly above the outlet. REPAIR ITEMS Repair: The downspout(s) in many locations should discharge water at least five (5) feet from the house. Storm water should be encouraged to flow away from the building at the point of discharge. Repair: The urinal in the men’s bathroom is inoperative. Repair: The window(s) are cracked to the right of the #5 bay. Improvement is not a high priority. This confidential report is prepared exclusively for Joe Customer © 2011 HMR Inspections LLC

Louisville , KY Page 4 of 35 IMPROVEMENT ITEMS Improve: The foundation in various areas showed signs of having washed out near the downspouts. The areas have been exposed the concrete flooring to the point that improvements should be made to help prevent major long term settlement. Improve: The presence of insufficient venting for the waste piping in the break room is suspect. It was noted that the sink drains improperly. Improve: The foundation in various areas showed signs of having washed out near the downspouts. The areas have exposed the concrete flooring to the point that improvements should be made to help prevent major long term settlement. ITEMS TO MONITOR Monitor: The design of the roofing system in the valleys as well as the connection between the office and main building is such that several vulnerable areas exist.

There is a higher potential for leaks. Annual inspections and ongoing maintenance will be critical. Flashings Monitor: The flashing in various locations is vulnerable, has leaked in the past, and should be watched carefully for leaks. Repair: The flashing shows evidence of leaks in many locations. In some cases, patching the flashing will prevent leaks. If this approach is unsuccessful, re-installing the skylight may be necessary. Gutters & Downspouts Repair: The downspout(s) in many locations should discharge water at least five (5) feet from the house. Storm water should be encouraged to flow away from the building at the point of discharge. Discretionary Improvements As a preventative measure, it may be wise to redirect all downspouts so they discharge at least five (5) feet from the house. LIMITATIONS OF ROOFING INSPECTION As we have discussed and as described in your inspection contract, this is a visual inspection limited in scope by (but not restricted to) the following conditions: Not all of the underside of the roof sheathing is inspected for evidence of leaks. Evidence of prior leaks may be disguised by interior finishes. Estimates of remaining roof life are approximations only and do not preclude the possibility of leakage. Leakage can develop at any time and may depend on rain intensity, wind direction, ice build up, and other factors. Antennae, chimney/flue interiors which are not readily accessible are not inspected and could require repair. Roof inspection may be limited by access, condition, weather, or other safety concerns. Please also refer to the pre-inspection contract for a detailed explanation of the scope of this inspection.

General Comments Major Concern: Thermal Inspection of the electrical system revealed the need for numerous repairs. These should be a high priority for safety reasons. Unsafe electrical conditions represent a shock hazard. A licensed electrician should be consulted to undertake the repairs as it was noted that the added electrical panels showed no signs of having been approved by local City Code Inspectors. Please refer to the Electrical portion of the report for further information. RECOMMENDATIONS / OBSERVATIONS Water Fountain Safety Issue: A drip loop should be present for the electrical wiring if the water fountain is to remain directly above the outlet. Auxiliary Panel(s) Repair: Circuits within the auxiliary panel that are doubled up (referred to as “double taps”) should be separated. Each circuit should be served by a separate fuse or breaker. Repair: Overheated wiring within the auxiliary panel should be examined by a qualified, licensed electrician and repaired as necessary. Repair: Any openings in the auxiliary panel should be covered. Repair: The auxiliary panel is crowded with wiring. A larger panel would be desirable. Monitor: The auxiliary panel shows evidence of rusting, suggesting the presence of moisture. This area should be monitored. If rusting continues, or if moisture is evident in the vicinity of the panel, an electrician should be consulted. Repair: The installation of the distribution wiring is non-standard. It is suspected that installation was performed by an amateur, rather than a licensed electrician.
