    Real Estate Professional:

    Executive Summary:

    This is a Property Condition Report "PCR" using the ASTM E2018 as a standard guideline to describe the condition of building or buildings for the property inspected. This process involves observation of the property by a person or entity. It can include interviews of sources, and reviews of available documentation for the purpose of developing an opinion and preparing a PCR of a commercial real estate's current physical condition. At the option of the user, a PCA may include a higher level of inquiry and due diligence than the

    baseline scope described within this guide or, at the users option, it may include a lower level of inquiry or due diligence than the baseline scope described in this guide. If there are such deviations from this guides scope it should be disclosed in your agreement. A PCR is a written report, prepared in accordance with the recommendations contained in this guide, that outlines the consultants observations, opinions as to the subject property"s condition.

    In defining good commercial and customary practice for conducting a baseline PCA, the goal is to identify and communicate physical deficiencies to a user. The term physical deficiencies means the presence of conspicuous defects or material deferred maintenance of a subject property material systems, components,

    or equipment as observed during the field observers walk-through survey. This definition specifically excludes deficiencies that may be remedied with routine maintenance, miscellaneous minor repairs, normal operating maintenance, etc., and excludes de minimis conditions that generally do not present material physical deficiencies of the subject property. A walk-through survey, conducted during the field observers site visit of the subject property, that consists of nonintrusive visual observations, survey of readily

    accessible, easily visible components and systems of the subject property. Concealed physical deficiencies are excluded. It is the intent of this guide that such a survey should not be considered technically exhaustive. It excludes the operation of equipment by the field observer and is to be conducted without the aid of special protective clothing, exploratory probing, removal of materials, testing, or the use of equipment, such as scaffolding, metering/testing equipment, or devices of any kind, etc. It is literally the

    field observers visual observations while walking through the subject property.

    The purpose of the PCA is to observe and report, to the extent feasible pursuant to the processes prescribed herein, on the physical condition of the subject property.

    Deviations from the Guide: Please see signed agreement proposal.

    Recommendations: It is recommended that the user of this report review both summaries and the entire

    report. The complete report may include additional information of concern.

    B. Purpose and Scope Inspected

    You have contracted with us to through verbal communication and email(s) to perform an inspection inaccordance with ASTM industry standards for the commercial inspection profession. This is differentfrom our technically exhaustive inspection which takes several days to complete, involves the use of

    specialized instruments, the dismantling of equipment, video scanning, destructive testing andlaboratory analysis of possible contaminates. Our purpose is to identify defects or adverse conditionsthat need repair or replacement, are safety concerns or may lead to costs that would significantly affectyour evaluation of the property at the time of this inspection.

    The purpose of the Inspection is to document in a narrative format the condition of the building at thetime of the inspection. The inspection is a visual snapshot in time regarding the condition of the

    systems and components of the building at the time of the inspection and is not a warranty nor aninsurance policy, but that should not deter you purchasing such a policy.

    As with all building systems, components, items, etc; need to be maintained properly though the years. We do not document items which are cosmetic in nature or would be apparent to the average person or document items that pertain to an 30 year old building such as loose door knobs, paint, interior walls, scratches or items of that nature. Pictures are placed in the report as a courtesy to help you understand

    the reason for the narrative.

    F. Roofing

    Repair or Replace

    (1) Roof coverings consisted of front metal pitched roof and TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin membrane) at flat roof.

    The metal roofing was in average condition. I recommend a new sealant coat for protection.

    The TPO roofing was in good condition for its age. I estimate it to be approximately 10 years old. Average life span of this roofing material varies significantly, but I would reasonably estimate at least

    10 more years life. No major leaking was noted. However there was several small puddles of water (from improper condensation piping not draining off roof) which can cause moisture intrusion. Routine maintainece and/or inspections of the covering are recommended. Recommend obtaining estimates for repairing the small dips at TPO covering to prevent moisture damage.

    Floods, Snow, etc.), Insect/Rodent Infestation, Environmental Considerations, ADA Requirements, FFHA Requirements, Indoor Air Quality, and Property Security Systems.

    C. Opinions of probable costs to remedy physical deficiencies Not Inspected

    This was not part of the scope or our agreement.

    Uncertainty Not Eliminated—No PCA can wholly eliminate the uncertainty regarding the presence of physical deficiencies and

    the performance of a subject property’s building systems. Preparation of a PCR in accordance with this guide is intended to reduce, but not eliminate, the uncertainty regarding the potential for component or system failure and to reduce the potential that such component or system may not be initially observed. This guide also recognizes the inherent subjective nature of a consultant’s opinions as to such issues as workmanship, quality of original installation, and estimating the RUL of any given

    component or system. The guide recognizes a consultant’s suggested remedy may be determined under time constraints, formed without the aid of engineering calculations, testing, exploratory probing, the removal of materials, or design. Furthermore, there may be other alternate or more appropriate schemes or methods to remedy the physical deficiency. The consultant’s opinions generally are formed without detailed knowledge from those familiar with the component’s or system’s

    performance. Not Technically Exhaustive—Appropriate due diligence according to this guide is not to be construed as technically exhaustive. There is a point at which the cost of information obtained or the time required to conduct the PCA and prepare the PCR may outweigh the usefulness of the information and, in fact, may be a material detriment to the orderly and timely completion of a commercial real estate transaction. It is the intent of this guide to attempt to identify a balance between limiting

    the costs and time demands inherent in performing a PCA and reducing the uncertainty about unknown physical deficiencies resulting from completing additional inquiry.

    This summary will provide you with a preview of the components or conditions that need service, repair or a second opinion, but other items in the report may disclose valuable information that could influence your decision. Therefore, I recommend you read the full report in it's entirety.

    1. General Physical Condition

    D. Paving, Curbing and Parking

    Repair or Replace

    Asphalt parking lot was in general good condition. Several small depressions and average small cracking, you may want to seal these cracks. Some of the concrete curbing was damaged and/or

    cracked. Recommend general repairs of curbing as needed.

    E. Flatwork (sidewalks, plazas, patios)

    Repair or Replace

    Concrete walkways/sidewalks had a few cracks in a few areas. Recommend repairing to prevent further damage or injury.

    3. Structural Frame and Building Envelope

    B. Building Frame

    Immediate Attention!

    There was evidence of water stains at drop ceiling above the main electrical service panels. There

    was also evidence of water damage (deterioration) and stains at the roof plywood decking in the

  • 3. Structural Frame and Building Envelope

    same area (below the roof electric weather head). Recommend repair the structure damage by

    qualified roof contractor. Repair all other damage as needed by qualified contractor.

    C. Sidewall System (exterior wall cladding and components)

    Repair or Replace

    (1) Stucco cladding was in good condition overall. There were several small hairline cracks around window/door openings. Recommend seal cracks to prevent moisture intrusion.

    (2) Landscape ground cover has caused small negative sloping toward the building. It is also in contact with the exterior cladding and lower windows. Recommend correcting issues to prevent

    moisture damage or wood destroy insects.

    E. Parapets (protective wall barriers at balcony, roof etc.)

    Repair or Replace

    Roof parapets had several small hairline cracks at stucco cladding. Sealant at metal cap seams were failing, several areas. Recommend small repairs to prevent further damage or moisture intrusion by qualified contractor.

    F. Roofing

    Repair or Replace

    (1) Roof coverings consisted of front metal pitched roof and TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin membrane) at flat roof.

    The metal roofing was in average condition. I recommend a new sealant coat for protection.

    The TPO roofing was in good condition for its age. I estimate it to be approximately 10 years old.

    Average life span of this roofing material varies significantly, but I would reasonably estimate at least 10 more years life. No major leaking was noted. However there was several small puddles of water (from improper condensation piping not draining off roof) which can cause moisture intrusion. Routine maintainece and/or inspections of the covering are recommended. Recommend obtaining estimates for repairing the small dips at TPO covering to prevent moisture damage.

    (2) Small lower roof canopy roofs had peeling paint or damaged top coat sealant. Recommend repair as needed.

    4. Mechanical and Electrical System

    A. Plumbing water supply and Distribution and Fixtures

    Immediate Attention!

    Water leak noted at main water piping below main shut-off. Recommend repair by qualified plumber.

    C. Domestic hot water production

    Not Inspected

    (2) Tank-less water heater had stored items in front of it and shelving was in direct contact with unit. Minimum 4 inch clearance is required. Gas line did not have a proper shut-off valve. Recommend correct issues by qualified contractor to prevent injury or damage.

    D. Heating & Air conditioning and Ventilation Equipment

    Repair or Replace

    Page 40 of 4319 Indian Trail Lilburn Rd

  • 4. Mechanical and Electrical System

    (2) Roof HVAC unit condensation piping was damaged or did not properly discharge off the roof for all units. Suction line insulation was aged/damaged for all units. General wear/dust was noted at filter, blower motor and service compartments. Electrical wiring conduit was faded/aged/cracked. I

    recommend general service and repair these items by licensed HVAC contractor.

    E. Electric Service and Meter

    Immediate Attention!

    (1) The electrical service conductors at roof weather head are frayed at wire sheathing. There were screws and a neutral wire in contact with the main conductor wiring. This is considered an safety issue. Recommend immediate repair by qualified licensed electrician.

    (2) Electrical service was a 3- phase 600 amp 208/120v system.

    There were multiple issues noted at the main electrical service panels in rear storage room. One service panel was blocked off with storage shelving (needs 3ft clearance) and the other panels had

    open knock outs, breakers were not properly identified, and multiple double taps. Right panel C had evidence of excessive heat at several breakers including evidence of water damage from an old roof leak above. Further damage or injury may occur. Recommend correct all issues by licensed electrician.

    F. Electric Distribution

    Repair or Replace

    (1) Conduit electrical wiring at roof was aged and deteriorated for mechanical equipment, including loose connectors. One section had open end wiring. Recommend repair issues by licensed electrician.

    (2) Open J-boxes noted at parking lot lights. Recommend correct by qualified electrician.

    (3) Electrical wiring and receptacle near wash station was not properly secured. Receptacles were

    damaged/defective. Recommend correct issues by licensed electrician.

    G. Exhaust, Vents

    Repair or Replace

    (1) Rooftop kitchen exhaust vent had grease build-up (left side). Recommend clean/maintenance. Also it appears that the old (brown) exhaust system was not in use or it had parts (belts) that were disconnected. Either repair this unit if in use or disconnect it as it is wasting electricity.

    Middle kitchen exhaust vent also had parts missing or not functioning properly. Recommend repair as needed.

    (2) I did not inspect any refrigeration, chiller, or ice maker equipment at the roof. However as a courtesy several issues were noted with this equipment and general service or maintainece is needed/recommended.
