12-08-2015	03:24 PM	REINSPECTION	RECEIVED CALL THAT REPAIRS HAD BEEN MADE. MADE SITE VISIT TO DO INSPECTION. TENANT WAS HOME AND ALLOWED ME TO MAKE INSPECTION. ITEMS NOTED HAD BEEN REPAIRED. TENANT BECAME BELLIGERENT ABOUT MOLD IN THE ATTIC. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT THE POSSIBILITY OF MOLD WAS MINUTE AND THAT THE OWNER HAD SAID THAT THE ROOFER HAD BEEN CALLED BACK OUT TO CHECK FOR MOLD AND THAT HE HAD REPORTED NONE. OWNER HAD WARNED ME THAT TENANT WAS SERVED NOTICE OF NONRENEWAL OF LEASE AND MAY BE UPSET. HE WAS AND DEMANDED THAT IT WAS THE COUNTIES RESPONSIBILITY TO CHECK THE MOLD FOR HIM. I EXPLAINED THAT NO ONE AT THE COUNTY LEVEL WAS CERTIFIED TO DETERMINE TYPE OF MOLD IF PRESENT AT ALL AND THAT MOLD NEEDED A WATER SOURCE TO SURVIVE THEREFORE EVEN IF MOLD WAS PRESENT FROM ROOF LEAKS IT WOULD NOT BE HARMFUL. MY PERCEPTION WAS THAT HE WAS JUST LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO BE A PEST TO THE LANDLORD AND WAS NOT GOING TO SUBJECT MYSELF INTO THAT QUARREL. HE THREATENED THAT HE HAD ME ON TAPE SAYING THAT MOLD WOULD NOT BE HARMFUL TRYING TO DRAW ME INTO HIS ANGER. AT THAT POINT I SAID "DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO" AND WALKED TO MY VEHICLE AND LEFT. REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE. CLOSE CASE
12-08-2015	01:11 PM	CLOSE COMPLAINT	CLOSE FUNCTION BY ELONGSHO
11-23-2015	07:37 AM	INITIAL INSPECTION	MADE SITE VISIT AND SPOKE WITH TENANT. THE DUPLEX HAS A NEW ROOF INSTALLED, A NEW SHOWER UNIT IN THE MASTER BATHROOM INSTALLED AND THE BASE CABINET UNDER THE KITCHEN SINK HAS HAD THE BOTTOM SECTION REPLACED. THE TENANT WAS COMPLAINING THAT THE INSTALLERS HAD NOT TREATED THE MOLD IN THE ATTIC AND UNDER THE TUB/SHOWER UNIT AND UNDER THE CABINET BASE. I OBSERVED NO MOLD VISIBLE. TENANT POINTED OUT STAINING IN THE CEILING FROM WHERE THE ROOF HAD LEAKED. THESE ARE WATER STAINS AND NOT MOLD IN MY OPINION. I TOLD TENANT THAT MOLD INVESTIGATION WOULD HAVE TO BE PERFORMED AND THAT THE COUNTY DOES NOT PERFORM THESE TYPE OF INSPECTIONS. WHILE THERE I DID OBSERVE OPEN WIRING AT THE FOYER LIGHT. A LIGHT FIXTURE NEEDS TO BE INSTALLED AT THIS LOCATION OR THE WIRES NEED TO BE CAPPED OFF AND A PLATE INSTALLED OVER THE ELECTRICAL BOX. I ALSO OBSERVED AN OPEN SECTION IN THE SOFFIT AREA BY THE A/C COMPRESSOR. THIS AREA NEEDS TO HAVE THE ALUMINUM SOFFIT REPLACED TO CLOSE ACCESS TO ATTIC AREA. TENANT SAID THAT THE LIGHT FIXTURE IN THE BEDROOM FAN SPARKS WHEN TURNED ON. THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND REPAIRED. I ALSO OBSERVED HOLES IN THE WALLS THAT NEED TO BE REPAIRED.
