The wood siding panels are showing serious signs of failure and may actually pose a safety problem if hit with objects suchas balls etc.

Most joints appear to be adequate, however, at the time of siding retrofit or window replacement new caulking should beprovided

Damaged wood siding should be replaced and a new paint/stain finish applied as soon as possible

Piping is of an age where continuous, quality chemicaltreatment could not be guaranteed. Piping may have internalcorrosion reducing heating efficiencies and leading to potentialfailures.

Concern:

Piping samples should be taken to determine the level ofcorrosion within the piping. Results of samples may warrantreplacement of all heating water distribution pipework, radiationand heating coils.

The lack of air conditioning (cooling) means thatzone temperatures cant be trimmed in this manner.

Portable extinguishers don't meet current code requirements.Currently the building has compressed water typeextinguishers installed in Fire Hose Cabinets with fewadditional type ABC and Type K extinguishers. Compressedwater extinguishers are suitable for Class A fires (ordinarycombustible materials) but not for class C fires (whereenergized equipment may be encountered). The additionalextinguishers appear insufficiently located to meet the traveldistances for a class C fire. Refer NFPA 10 section 6.4"Installations for class C fires"
