6 <br /> Physical Assessment, page 6 <br /> Currently, sections of the base flashing are sloped so that the rain water is trapped next to the cupola <br /> instead of flushing the water away. Serious deterioration of the wood fascia and moisture damage was <br /> noted. Our review would indicate that this should be repaired in the near future. <br /> Steel Lintels. Although generally the steel window lintels are in good condition, some rusting was <br /> noted. All lintels should be carefully inspected, cleaned and finished. All lintels should be protected <br /> before repointing any masonry. <br /> Basement Moisture. In the rear of the basement in the mechanical room, moisture and minor damage <br /> was noted at the brick along the floor. It was also noted that the AC condensate line going to the floor <br /> drain has a consistent flow of water from the pipe to the drain. Along the basement wall at the back of <br /> the original equipment room, the paint on the brick wall has bubbled and separated from the masonry. <br /> No determination could be made as to how old this damage to the paint is. The bottom of the elevator <br /> shaft is the lowest elevation of the building. Visual inspection indicated that there has been some water <br /> seepage and damage. <br /> Plantings. From the roof, it was noted that the trees on the Rosemary elevation are overgrown and <br /> protrude onto the roof. Proper plant trimming and maintenance needs to be done. <br />
