APPENDIX II. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
This section of the report repeats comments with recommendations for repair, or maintenance on operational, but undependable.

GRADING (see Page 2): Grading around the foundation was often flat, reversed, or sloped toward the building. Reversed grades promote the accumulation of water near the building and can result in water penetration of the foundation and associated damage to interior as well as exterior building elements (* see EXTERIOR: BUILDING, WALL CLADDING).
Condition: Undependable
Suggestion: Complete regrading of all areas around the foundation is recommended to ensure that surface water naturally flows away from the building.

FENCING, GATES (see Page 4): Metal fencing used as a dog run at the east comer of the building was in acceptable condition. The gate was operational and in acceptable condition. A short section of painted wooden fence at the north comer of the property was significantly damaged by rot and in need of repair, if it will be retained.
Condition: Undependable
Suggestion: If the fence will be retained to provide a privacy screen for the rear yard and patio, it should be taken down and all seriously damaged elements removed. Replacement material should be pressure-treated to resist rot, or treated with an anti-fungus compound before being used.

ROOF SURFACE (see Page 8): The surfaces of the flat roofs were generally smooth and free of significant shortcomings, but were marked by significant large "alligatoring" of hot tar apparently applied when the roof was first installed. Seams were flat, however, and no evidence of serious deterioration was observed. An aluminized coating applied to the surface was sometimes peeling and occasionally weathered to a point where it was somewhat thin and may not be effective in protecting the roofing. The tile roofs were generally in acceptable condition. A very few cracked tiles were observed, but no evidence of water penetration was discovered. Spare tiles were observed to be stored in the building.
Condition: Undependable
Suggestion: The surfaces of the flat roofs were not observed to be failed, but were not dependable, either. Examination of the flat roofs by a qualified, competent and licensed roofing contractor and repair or modification as necessary to ensure that they are dependable is recommended.

OUTDOOR, EXTERIOR RECEPTACLES (see Page 16): The single outdoor electrical receptacle discovered was properly polarized and in acceptable condition, except that the weatherproof cover was broken and the special GFCI feature was not functional when tested with a special tester and when checked with the integral test button.
Condition: Undependable
Suggestion: Replacement of the exterior GFCI receptacle and the waterproof cover is recommended.
