Re 4329 Shelby RdLynnwood, WA 98087

Dear FAIRA:

At your request a visual inspection of the above referenced property was conducted on 11/07/2015. This inspection report reflectsthe visual conditions of the property at the time of the inspection only. Hidden or concealed defects cannot be included in this report.No warranty is either expressed or implied. This report is not an insurance policy, nor a warranty service.

An earnest effort was made on your behalf to discover all visible defects, however, in the event of an oversight, maximum liabilitymust be limited to the fee paid. The following is an opinion report, expressed as a result of the inspection. Please take time to reviewlimitations contained in the inspection agreement.

REPORT SUMMARY

During the inspection of this property I discovered the following problems:

ROOF SYSTEMROOFRoof Covering Status:Moss growth is present on the roof surface. This should be treated with a moss killer to prevent buildup and damage to theroofing.

I recommend cutting back the trees in contact with the roof. These can cause damage to the roofing as well as provide a pathfor pests to enter the house.

EXPOSED FLASHINGSType & Condition:A plumbing flashing above unit A is not secured and has rotated out of place. This could allow water to get under the roofing.I recommend contacting a licensed roofing contractor for repairs.

The rubber flashings on the plumbing vents have cracks/deterioration and could cause leaks during periods of heavy rain. Irecommend contacting a licensed roofing contractor to replace all damaged flashings.

Diverter (kick out) flashings are missing at the lower edge of the roof where it terminates against the side walls. Diverterflashings direct water into the gutters at the lower edge of the roof where it terminates against the wall of the house. Theseare very important to prevent damage to the siding and water intrusion into the wall. I recommend contacting a licensedcontractor to install flashings in these locations.

I recommend coating the exposed nail heads on the flashing at the roof wall intersection with sealant to prevent leaks.

GUTTERS & DOWNSPOUTType & Condition:The gutter are dented/damaged in the following locations: front of house over unit B.

The gutters are currently full of debris and should be cleaned.

ATTIC AND INSULATION UNIT AAccessibility & Conditions:Evidence of rodent activity is present in the attic. I recommend contacting a licensed exterminator to determine if this is froma current infestation.

EXTERIOR - FOUNDATION - BASEMENTWALLSConditionThe vinyl siding is missing/damaged/loose in the following locations : front porch unit B, back porch unit B, back door unitA. I recommend repairing all damaged/missing siding to prevent damage to the structure.

TRIMCondition:The paint is cracked and peeling off the wood trim. The trim should be repainted to prevent damage.

BASEMENT/CRAWL SPACECrawl Space:There is wood debris scattered throughout the crawlspace. Wood debris in contact with the soil will rot and attract wooddestroying insects.

The following problems were noted at the sump: The outlet power the sump pump is not GFCI protected and the cover ismissing . I recommend contacting a licensed electrician to install a GFCI protected outlet to power the pump.

Other Observations:Water stains were noted in the following areas: throughout the crawlspace. All areas were dry at the time of the inspectionand it is beyond the scope of a home inspection to predict if there is going to be ongoing water intrusion.

KITCHEN - APPLIANCESKITCHEN UNIT BRange/Cooktop & OvenThere is no anti-tip bracket installed on the range. This is a safety device that prevents the range from tipping if a heavy loadis placed on the open door.

Counters & Cabinets:There is water damage to the sink base cabinet from a previous leak. The bottom was damaged and boards were installed toform a new shelf. No leaks were found at the time of the inspection.

KITCHEN UNIT ARefrigeratorThe ice and water dispenser did not appear to work. This could be due to no water line being connected to the refrigerator, aclogged water filter or other internal problems.

DishwasherThe kick plate is missing.

Garbage DisposalThe disposal loom clamp is loose. The disposal should have a loom clamp where the cord enters the bottom of the disposal toprevent the electrical connection from being pulled loose.

The garbage disposal is unusually noisy. I recommend removing any hard objects from the disposal and re-testing. If thisdoesn't correct the problems the disposal should be replaced.

Counters & Cabinets:There is water damage to the sink base cabinet from a previous leak. No leaks were found at the time of the inspection.

INTERIORINTERIOR UNIT AMain Entry Door:There is no door stop. Because there is no door stop the door knob is hitting the wall and damaging the drywall.

Interior Doors:The door into the garage is damaged. Replacement or repair required.

The doors in the following locations do not latch and need adjustment: west bedroom, master bedroom.

One of the master bedroom closet doors is off its track.

Door stops are missing from several of the doors. I recommend adding door stops to prevent damage to the drywall.

Windows:The panes of glass are broken in the following windows: living room.

Interior Walls:Damaged to the drywall is noted at the master bedroom closet, by front door, master bathroom.

Smoke/Fire & CO Detectors:Missing carbon monoxide alarms - As of April 1, 2012 Washington State law requires the seller to install carbon monoxidealarms. These should be installed outside each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of each bedroom, on eachlevel of the home and in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations.

INTERIOR UNIT BMain Entry Door:Hinge screws are missing.

The door is difficult to latch shut and does not seal tightly. Adjustment is needed.

Fireplace/Wood Burning DevicesThe glass has a white residue that is normal with use. This can be removed with a special cleaner purchased at a hardware orfireplace store.

Smoke/Fire & CO Detectors:Missing carbon monoxide alarms - As of April 1, 2012 Washington State law requires the seller to install carbon monoxidealarms.

BATHROOMSFIRST FLOOR BATHROOM UNIT BCondition of Sink:The drain stopper is missing.

MASTER BATHROOM UNIT ACondition of Sink:The drain stopper is missing.

Condition of Toilet:My moisture meter gave very high readings around the base of the toilet indicating the seal where the toilet connects to thedrain pipe is leaking. There also could be damage to the subfloor caused by the leaking seal. The seal should be replacedimmediately to prevent further damage.

Tub, Shower & Walls:The caulking has cracked/failed where the shower pan meets the flooring. This should be re-caulked to prevent water fromgetting underneath the flooring.

SECOND FLOOR HALL BATHROOM UNIT ATub, Shower, Plumbing Fixtures:The shower valve escutcheon is loose. This could allow water to leak into the wall. The escutcheon should be secured andsealed.

Tub, Shower & Walls:The caulking has cracked/failed where the tub meets the flooring. This should be re-caulked to prevent water from gettingunderneath the flooring.

MASTER BATHROOM UNIT BTub, Shower & Walls:The caulking has cracked/failed where the shower pan meets the flooring. This should be re-caulked to prevent water fromgetting underneath the flooring.

SECOND FLOOR HALL BATHROOM UNIT BTub, Shower, Plumbing Fixtures:The hot and cold are reversed at the mixing valve for the shower. This can sometimes be corrected by removing the cartridgefrom the mixing valve, rotating it 180 degrees and reinstalling it.

Tub, Shower & Walls:The caulking has cracked/failed where the tub meets the flooring. This should be re-caulked to prevent water from gettingunderneath the flooring.

HEATING - AIR CONDITIONINGHEATING SYSTEM CONDITION UNIT AVenting:This shared vent for the water heater and furnace is not assembled correctly. The appliance with the smaller rating (the waterheater) should enter the shared vent above the appliance with the larger rating (the furnace.) I recommend contacting alicensed HVAC contractor for further evaluation and repairs as necessary.

Air Filters:No filter is currently installed. I recommend installing an air filter immediately. A missing air filter will cause debris to bepulled through the furnace significantly reducing the life of the furnace blower. Furnace filters should be replaced every 3months. A clogged filter will reduce the efficiency of the heating system and can cause damage to the furnace.

Phone: (253) 905-4273 Email: [email protected]

General Suggestions:The furnace does not appear to have been serviced for several years and I was not able to locate any recent service tags. Irecommend inquiring with the current owner regarding the service records for the furnace and if it has not been servicedrecently it should be serviced and inspected by a licensed heating contractor.

HEATING SYSTEM CONDITION UNIT BVenting:This shared vent for the water heater and furnace is not assembled correctly. The appliance with the smaller rating (the waterheater) should enter the shared vent above the appliance with the larger rating (the furnace.) I recommend contacting alicensed HVAC contractor for further evaluation and repairs as necessary.

General Suggestions:The furnace does not appear to have been serviced for several years and I was not able to locate any recent service tags. Irecommend inquiring with the current owner regarding the service records for the furnace and if it has not been servicedrecently it should be serviced and inspected by a licensed heating contractor.

DUCTWORKDucts/Air Supply:The ducts are dirty and have a lot of debris in them. I recommend having the furnace ducts cleaned.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEMSWITCHES, OUTLETS & FIXTURESCondition:The following exterior outlets have damaged covers: front of unit A

The cover glass is missing from the following fixtures: back porch unit B.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets are required by current safety codes for kitchen counters, bathrooms, exteriorlocations and garages. While this may not have been required when the home was built I recommend the installation of GFCIprotections in the following locations: sump pumps

Outlets are missing cover plates at the sump pumps. All outlets and switches should have cover plates installed to preventsomeone from accidentally touching the live electrical connections.

PLUMBINGSUPPLY LINESWater PressureThe water pressure was tested at 90 psi. Normal household water pressure should be between 40 and 80 psi. I recommendinstalling a pressure reducing valve because water pressure in excess of 80 PSI can cause appliances and fixtures to failprematurely.

HOSE FAUCETSCondition:The hose faucets on the front of the home are not secured to the building. Repeated movement can cause the supply plumbingto leak.

The hose faucet on the front of the home (unit B) leaks from the valve stem when the flow of water is blocked. The hosefaucet needs repair.

WATER HEATER UNIT BWater Temp.130 Degrees. The generally accepted maximum safe water temperature is 120 degrees. Water temperature in excess of 120degrees can cause scalding. I recommend resetting the thermostat on the water heater so the temperature is 120 degrees orbelow.

Page 7: FAIRA TRANSPARENCY REPORTS 4329 Shelby Rd, Lynnwood, WA ... · Interior Doors: The door into the garage is damaged. Replacement or repair required. The doors in the following locations

Lasswell Home Inspection, LLCJerome Kukowski, Inspector

Phone: (253) 905-4273 Email: [email protected]

ConditionSince the thermal expansion tank is mounted on copper pipe, it should have strapping to hold it in place preventing it frombreaking the pipe during an earthquake.

WATER HEATER UNIT AWater Temp.135 Degrees. The generally accepted maximum safe water temperature is 120 degrees. Water temperature in excess of 120degrees can cause scalding. I recommend resetting the thermostat on the water heater so the temperature is 120 degrees orbelow.

ConditionSince the thermal expansion tank is mounted on copper pipe, it should have strapping to hold it in place preventing it frombreaking the pipe during an earthquake.

The drain line on the temperature and pressure relief valve is a flexible connection pipe. The drain line should be the samesize as the treaded fitting on the valve. Flexible connection pipes have a smaller inside diameter and are prone to kinking.Reducing the size of the drain can cause the water heater to explode if the heating elements fail to shut down. I recommendimmediately contacting a plumber for repairs.

GARAGE - CARPORTFIRE WALL UNIT ACondition:The spring has been disabled or is broken on the self closing hinge for the door between the garage and house. I recommendrepairing the hinge.

FIRE WALL UNIT BCondition:The spring has been disabled or is broken on the self closing hinge for the door between the garage and house. I recommendrepairing the hinge.

GARAGE DOOR UNIT ACondition:The garage door trim at the bottom is loose.

Automatic door opener(s)- not operational.

GARAGE DOOR UNIT BCondition:The garage door failed to reverse when it hit a 2x4 block at the bottom of its travel. This simulates a body part being trappedunder the door. The automatic opener should be adjusted.

MISCELLANEOUSThe protective bollard in unit A is loose. I recommend contacting a licensed contractor to re-secure the bollard.

GROUNDSLANDSCAPINGCondition:I recommend cutting back all trees and shrubs so they are not in contact with the house. Trees and shrubs that touch the housemay do mechanical damage to roofing and siding, they also provide an access path for rodents and insects to enter the house.

PORCHCondition:The concrete front porches have settled. I recommend contacting a licensed contractor for repairs.

PATIOCondition:The patio behind unit B has settled and is slope towards the house. This will cause water to drain towards the foundation andpossibly collect in the crawlspace. I recommend contacting a licensed contractor for repairs.

Major cracks are noted in the patio slab.

FENCES & GATESCondition:The gate to the back yard is broken on unit B.

Each of these items will likely require further evaluation and repair by licensed trades people. Thank you for selecting me to do yourhome inspection. If you have any questions regarding the inspection report or the home, please feel free to call me.

ROOF SYSTEM

The foregoing is an opinion of the general quality and condition of the roofing material. The inspector cannot and does not offer anopinion or warranty as to whether the roof leaks or may be subject to future leakage. This report is issued in consideration of theforegoing disclaimer. The only way to determine whether a roof is absolutely water tight is to observe it during a prolonged rainfall. Many times, this situation is not present during the inspection.

HEATING - AIR CONDITIONING

The inspector is not equipped to inspect furnace heat exchangers for evidence of cracks or holes, as this can only be done bydismantling the unit. This is beyond the scope of this inspection. Some furnaces are designed in such a way that inspection is almostimpossible. The inspector can not light pilot lights. Safety devices are not tested by the inspector.NOTE: Asbestos materials have been commonly used in heating systems.Determining the presence of asbestos can ONLY be preformed by laboratory testing and is beyond the scope of this inspection. Thermostats are not checked for calibration or timed functions. Adequacy, efficiency or the even distribution of air throughout abuilding cannot be addressed by a visual inspection. Electronic air cleaners, humidifiers and de-humidifiers are beyond the scope ofthis inspection. Have these systems evaluated by a qualified individual. The inspector does not perform pressure tests on coolantsystems, therefore no representation is made regarding coolant charge or line integrity. Subjective judgment of system capacity is nota part of the inspection. Normal service and maintenance is recommended on a yearly basis. Determining the condition of oil tanks,whether exposed or buried, is beyond the scope of this inspection. Leaking oil tanks represent an environmental hazard which issometimes costly to remedy.

HEATING SYSTEM CONDITION UNIT APrimary Unit: Operation appears normal.

Burners/HeatExchangers:

Burner Flame(s) appear typical.

The heat exchanger portion of a gas or oil fired heater is difficult to access without disassembly, andcannot be adequately checked during a visual inspection. I recommend a heating contractor be called toverify the condition of the heat exchanger. If the heat exchanger has failed in most cases the whole furnacewill need to be replaced.

PUMP/BLOWERFAN:

Operation appears normal.

Combustion Air: Appears adequate.

Venting:

This shared vent for the water heater and furnace is not assembled correctly. The appliance with thesmaller rating (the water heater) should enter the shared vent above the appliance with the larger rating (thefurnace.) I recommend contacting a licensed HVAC contractor for further evaluation and repairs asnecessary.

Air Plenum: No visible defects.

Air Filters: No filter is currently installed. I recommend installing an air filter immediately. A missing air filter willcause debris to be pulled through the furnace significantly reducing the life of the furnace blower. Furnacefilters should be replaced every 3 months. A clogged filter will reduce the efficiency of the heating systemand can cause damage to the furnace.

Normal Controls: Operation appears normal.

General Suggestions: The furnace does not appear to have been serviced for several years and I was not able to locate any recentservice tags. I recommend inquiring with the current owner regarding the service records for the furnaceand if it has not been serviced recently it should be serviced and inspected by a licensed heating contractor.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Any electrical repairs attempted by anyone other than a licensed electrician should be approached with caution. The power to theentire house should be turned off prior to beginning any repair efforts, no matter how trivial the repair may seen. Aluminum wiringrequires periodic inspection and maintenance by a licensed electrician. Operation of time clock motors is not verified. Inoperativelight fixtures often lack bulbs or have dead bulbs installed. Light bulbs are not changed during the inspection, due to time constraints.Smoke Alarms should be installed within 15 feet of all bedroom doors, and tested regularly.

SWITCHES, OUTLETS & FIXTURESCondition: The following exterior outlets have damaged covers: front of unit A

The cover glass is missing from the following fixtures: back porch unit B.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets are required by current safety codes for kitchen counters,bathrooms, exterior locations and garages. While this may not have been required when the home wasbuilt I recommend the installation of GFCI protections in the following locations: sump pumps

Outlets are missing cover plates at the sump pumps. All outlets and switches should have cover platesinstalled to prevent someone from accidentally touching the live electrical connections.

GFCI or Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt outlets are a safety device that can prevent a life threatening shock byimmediately shutting off power to an outlet. When many older homes were built GFCI outlets were notrequired. They are required on all new construction around sinks in kitchens and bathrooms and on outdooroutlets. It is easy and relatively inexpensive to upgrade to GFCI outlets and could possible save your life. However, like all electrical work if you don't know what you are doing, leave it to the professionals.

PLUMBING

Water quality or hazardous materials (lead) testing is available from local testing labs. All underground piping related to watersupply, waste, or sprinkler use are excluded from this inspection. Leakage or corrosion in underground piping cannot be detected bya visual inspection. The temperature pressure relief valve, at the upper portion of the water heater, is a required safety valve whichshould be connected to a drain line of proper size terminating just above floor elevation. If no drain is located in the floor a catch panshould be installed with a drain extending to a safe location. The steam caused by a blow-off can cause scalding. Improperinstallations should be corrected.

MAIN LINEMaterial: Copper.

Condition: I was not able to locate a main shut off in the home. It may be present but obscured by the current ownerpossessions.

SUPPLY LINESMaterial: Copper.

Condition: Most of the supply plumbing is not visible because of the ceiling and wall finish. No visible defects couldbe found.

Water Pressure

The water pressure was tested at 90 psi. Normal household water pressure should be between 40 and 80psi. I recommend installing a pressure reducing valve because water pressure in excess of 80 PSI can causeappliances and fixtures to fail prematurely.

WASTE LINESMaterial: Plastic.

Condition: Most of the waste plumbing is not visible because of the ceiling and wall finish. No visible defects couldbe found.

HOSE FAUCETSCondition: The hose faucets on the front of the home are not secured to the building. Repeated movement can cause

the supply plumbing to leak.

The hose faucet on the front of the home (unit B) leaks from the valve stem when the flow of water isblocked. The hose faucet needs repair.

WATER HEATER UNIT BType:

Gas.

Size: 40 Gallons.

Location: Garage.

Water Temp. 130 Degrees. The generally accepted maximum safe water temperature is 120 degrees. Watertemperature in excess of 120 degrees can cause scalding. I recommend resetting the thermostat on thewater heater so the temperature is 120 degrees or below.

Condition

The water heater was manufactured in 2007. Water heaters typically have a life expectancy of 10-15 years.

A temperature and pressure relief valve is present at the water heater.

Since the thermal expansion tank is mounted on copper pipe, it should have strapping to hold it in placepreventing it from breaking the pipe during an earthquake.

WATER HEATER UNIT AType:

Gas.

Size: 40 Gallons.

Location: Garage.

Water Temp. 135 Degrees. The generally accepted maximum safe water temperature is 120 degrees. Watertemperature in excess of 120 degrees can cause scalding. I recommend resetting the thermostat on thewater heater so the temperature is 120 degrees or below.

Condition

The water heater was manufactured in 2012. Water heaters typically have a life expectancy of 10-15 years.

A temperature and pressure relief valve is present at the water heater.

Since the thermal expansion tank is mounted on copper pipe, it should have strapping to hold it in placepreventing it from breaking the pipe during an earthquake.

The drain line on the temperature and pressure relief valve is a flexible connection pipe. The drain lineshould be the same size as the treaded fitting on the valve. Flexible connection pipes have a smaller insidediameter and are prone to kinking. Reducing the size of the drain can cause the water heater to explode ifthe heating elements fail to shut down. I recommend immediately contacting a plumber for repairs.

Page 36

TPR Valve - The temperature and pressure relief valve (TPR) is an important safety device that is designed toprevent the water heater from exploding if the thermostat malfunctions and fails to shut down the heatingelements. If this occurs the valve will open and discharge water to maintain a safe pressure within the tank. The water discharged will be very hot and under high pressure so it is important a drain line be connected to thevalve and that it terminates in a location where it won't cause injury. Most jurisdictions in Washington Staterequire the drain line to terminate on the exterior of the building.

FIRE WALL EXPLAINED - The firewall is an important safety feature in a home. It prevents a fire that startsin the garage from rapidly spreading to the living space of the house. The firewall is created by installingdrywall that is taped on all wall surfaces adjacent to the living area. All openings in the drywall should besealed and a fire rated/exterior door with weather stripping should be installed between the garage and thehouse.

Areas inspected include: structural exterior (accessible visually and physically to an inspector at ground level); accessible interior;accessible crawlspace(s); garages, carports and decks which are attached to the structure. Deck inspections include railings, woodensteps and accessible wooden surface materials, as well as, deck framing which is accessible (minimum 5' soil to joist clearance orthose that can be reached using a 6' step ladder).Wood destroying organisms include subterranean termites, dampwood termites, carpenter ants, moisture ants, wood boring beetles,and damp wood decay fungus (rot). The inspector will not assume any responsibility for WDOs that were not detected during theirdormant season. Conductive conditions include but not to be limited to inadequate clearance or structural members, earth wood contact, conductivedebris in the crawlspace or basement, inadequate ventilation, excessive moisture, vegetation contact with the structure, bare ground inthe crawlspace, existing or seasonal standing water in the crawlspace, failed caulking or grout in water splash areas, and/or inadequateor non-functioning gutter system.

LIMITATIONS OF INSPECTION

Inaccessible areas: Certain areas of a structure, which are inaccessible by their nature, may be subject to infestation by WDOs yetcannot be inspected without excavation, removal of finished surfaces or unless physical obstructions are removed. Examples of theseareas are wall voids, spaces between floors, substructures concealed by sub-floor insulation or those with inadequate clearance, floorsbeneath coverings, sleeper floors, areas concealed by furniture, appliances or personal possessions, and deck substructures with lessthan 5' clearance.Sheds and outbuildings: Sheds garages, carports or other structures, which are not attached to the main structure by roof system orfoundation, are excluded from this report unless specifically requested and noted. The inspector reserves the right to chargeadditionally to inspect any unattached structures.Climatic Conditions: In certain geographical areas of Washington State where wet climate is common and due to their constructionand materials, structures may be subject to conditions from normal weathering. Such conditions as cracking, checking, and/orwarping of doors, window casings, siding, and non-structural wooden members shall not be reported on the inspection report exceptat the discretion of the inspector. Inspectors are not required to report on any WDOs or other conditions that might be subject toseasonal constraints or environmental conditions if evidence of those constraints or conditions is not visible a the time of theinspections.Mold: Molds, mildews and other fungal growth (except wood rot) shall be reported on only to the extent that they indicate anexcessive moisture condition which may be conductive to WDOs. Structural Assesment: While it may be possible for the inspector to note damaged materials, neither the inspector nor the inspectionfirm is liable or responsible in any way to determine the structural integrity of any building materials. If a more qualified opinion isdesired, the services of a licensed, qualified contractor or structural engineer should be obtained.

EVIDENCE OF ACTIVE WOOD DESTROYING INSECTSType of Insect: No evidence of wood destroying insects were found.

EVIDENCE OF ACTIVE WOOD DECAY FUNGILocation &Description:

No evidence of wood decay was found.

EVIDENCE OF PRIOR INSECT INFESTATIONType of Insect: No damage from wood destroying organisms was found.

CONDITIONS CONDUCTIVE TO WOOD DESTROYING ORGANISMSLocation &Description:

Vegetation is in contact with the siding which can cause damage to the siding and provide a path for wooddestroying insects to enter the house. I recommend cutting back all vegetation so there is at least 6 inchesclearance.

Conducive Debris - The crawlspace has wood debris as noted on the diagram which can attract wooddestroying insects. All wood debris should be removed from the crawlspace.

OTHER INFORMATIONInaccessible areas There were no inaccessible areas.
