Purpose Scope:
1.15 ASTM E 2018:The purpose, as defined by ASTM E 2018 and use of this guide, is to define good commercial practice inthe USA for conducting a baseline property conditions assessment (PCA) of the improvements located
on a parcel of commercial real estate by performing a walk-through survey and conducting research asoutlined within the guide. The goal is to identify and communicate physical deficiencies to a use. The
term physical deficiencies includes the conspicuous defects and material deferred maintenanceof a subject property's material systems, components or equipment as observed during
completion of the PCA. This definition excludes deficiencies that may be remedied with routine maintenance,
miscellaneous minor repairs, normal operating maintenance, etc., and excludes de minimisconditions that generally do not present material physical deficiencies of the subject property.
1.16 Deviations from Standards:Deviations from standards are as such: No plan or document reviews conducted, no interviews
conducted. We did not conduct any record research. For example, outstanding citations related tobuilding code violations with local building department nor did we conduct any research as to any
outstanding fire code violations.

RESOURCES/DEFINITIONS AND LIFE SPANS:
STANDARD TERMS:
2.1 GENERAL DEFINITIONS:Cladding: This is the actual skin of the structure. It can be glass, brick veneer, stone, stucco etc.
Facade: Face of structure. Concrete or brick. It is considered part of the structural aspect of the buildingunlike cladding.
HVAC: Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning
Main disconnect: This is the main electrical shut off for the structure.
Not Technically Exhaustive: Appropriate due diligence according to this guide is not to be construed astechnically 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, maybe a material detriment to the orderly and timely completion of a commercial real estate transaction. It isthe 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 resultingfrom completing additional inquiry.
PCR (Property Conditions Report): This is the report that generates the Property Conditions Surveyconducted by observer or consultant
Physical Deficiencies: In defining good commercial and customary practice for conducting a baselinePCA, 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 subjectproperty's material systems, components, or equipment as observed during the field observer's
walk-through survey. This definition specifically excludes deficiencies that may be remedied with routinemaintenance, miscellaneous minor repairs, normal operating maintenance, etc., and excludes de minimisconditions that generally do not present material physical deficiencies of the subject property.
Plumbing: This is the water supply lines, water heaters and sanitary waste and ventilation part of thestructure
Principles: The following principles are an integral part of this guide. They are intended to be referred to
in resolving ambiguity, or in exercising discretion accorded the user or consultant in conducting a PCA,or in judging whether a user or consultant has conducted appropriate inquiry or has otherwise conductedan adequate PCA
Property Conditions Assessment: The PCA performed per ASTM standards is site-specific in that it
relates to the physical condition of real property improvements on a specific parcel of commercial realestate. Consequently, this guide does not address many additional issues in real estate transactionssuch as economic obsolescence, the purchase of business entities, or physical deficiencies relating to
Report: Alliance PCR 1234 Anywhere, Los Angeles, CA 91040 Address:Page 6

off-site conditions.
Representative Observations: The purpose of conducting representative observations is to convey tothe user the expected magnitude of commonly encountered or anticipated conditions. Recommendedrepresentative observation quantities for various asset types are provided in Annex A1; however, if in the
field observer's opinion such representative observations as presented in Annex A1 are unwarranted asa result of homogeneity of the asset or other reasons deemed appropriate by the field observer, the field
observer may survey sufficient units, areas, systems, buildings, etc. so as to comment with reasonableconfidence as to the representative present condition of such repetitive or similar areas, systems,buildings, etc. To the extent there is more than one building on the subject property, and they are
homogeneous with respect to approximate age, use, basic design, materials, and systems, it is not arequirement of this guide for the field observer to conduct a walk-through survey of each individualbuilding's systems to describe or comment on their condition within the PCR. The descriptions and
observations provided in the PCR are to be construed as representative of all similar improvements
System: Refers to the complexities of a part of the structure. For example the electrical system hasmany parts, the plumbing and HVAC system have many components parts that make up the whole
system
The consultant (Observer): is the qualified professional conducting the walk through assessment of the
property, structure
Uncertainty Not Eliminated: No PCA can wholly eliminate the uncertainty regarding the presence ofphysical deficiencies and the performance of a subject property's building systems. Preparation of a PCRin 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 systemmay not be initially observed. This guide also recognizes the inherent subjective nature of a consultant'sopinions 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 determinedunder time constraints, formed without the aid of engineering calculations, testing, exploratory probing,
the removal or relocation of materials, design, or other technically exhaustive means. Furthermore, theremay be other alternative or more appropriate schemes or methods to remedy a physical deficiency. Theconsultant's opinions generally are formed without detailed knowledge from those familiar with the
component's or system's performance.
User: Otherwise, client. Person who has interest in obtaining a Property Conditions Assessment as part
of their due diligence.
RESOURCES:
2.2 Cost to Cure Source:Cost estimates are obtained from a multitude of sources, such as R. S. Means, the National Contractorestimator 55th Edition, local contractors and specialty tradesman, the web site, manufacturers and

Findings & Recommendations:
The cost to cure is provided as a guide on what immediate expenditures are to be expected in order to maintain orsustain a viable structure. It does not provide general standard operating cost of a building, tenant improvements,cosmetic repairs or desired upgrades. All cost provided are not an estimate and can very to a greater or lesserdegree. The cost is on an average national figure of what may be expected notwithstanding any other variables thatcan affect price at the time of repairs or replacements, such as and not limited to, natural disasters, strikes andavailability of materials and labor. All costs are based on items that exceed $3000 only.
PLUMBING:Findings: Recommendations:
Some notable repipe in process or has occurred in
the past however, there are still conditions presentthat can lead to potential for leaks. Refer to plumbingsection. Older galvanize pipe seen at various
locations. Mostly in building 228. Client should beaware that this older pipe is at the end of its
serviceable life. What occurs is that the pipe corrodesfrom the inside out causing a drop in water volumewhen more than one fixture is operated. Other
implications are greater for potential leaks, flooding ofcrawl space, settlement of the structure and otherstructural damage.

PLUMBING SYSTEM
Water quality or hazardous materials (lead) testing is available from local testing labs, and not included in this walkthrough. All underground piping related to water supply, waste, or sprinkler use are excluded from this walk throughsurvey. Leakage or corrosion in underground piping cannot be detected by a visual observation, nor can thepresence of mineral build-up that may gradually restrict their inner diameter and reduce water volume. Plumbingcomponents such as gas pipes, potable water pipes, drain and vent pipes, and shut-off valves are not generallytested if not in daily use. The consultant cannot state the effectiveness or operation of any anti-siphon devices,automatic safety controls, water conditioning equipment, fire and lawn sprinkler systems, on-site water quality andquantity, on-site waste disposal systems, foundation irrigation systems, spa and swimming pool equipment, solarwater heating equipment, or observe the system for proper sizing, design, or use of materials.
Waste and drainpipes pipe condition is usually directly related to their age. Older ones are subject to damagethrough decay and root movement, whereas the more modern ABS ones are virtually impervious to damage,although some rare batches have been alleged to be defective. Older structures with galvanized or cast iron supplyor waste lines can be obstructed and barely working during a walk through but later fail under heavy use. If thewater is turned off or not used for periods of time (such as a vacant building waiting for closing), rust or depositswithin the piping can further clog the piping system. However, inasmuch as significant portions of drainpipes areconcealed, we can only infer their condition by observing the draw at drains at the time of walk through. Nonetheless, blockages will still occur in the life of any system.
WATER SUPPLY:
5.1 SOURCE::
City/Municipal. Shut valves located at each building.
5.2 TYPE/CONDITION:Supply line appears to be in satisfactory condition. Water pipe seen coming from the ground is, Copper
Report: Alliance PCR 1234 Anywhere, Los Angeles, CA 91040 Address:Page 17
© Confidential - for client use only. Use by any unauthorized persons is prohibited.
BUILDING WATER SUPPLY:
5.3 WATER PRESSURE:Water pressure from 40 to 80 pounds per square inch is considered within normal/acceptable range.
Water pressure was checked at an exterior hose bib.
5.4 MATERIAL & CONDITION:
Copper and galvanize pipe noted.
Copper to galvanized contact noted in areas. This does result in eventual corrosion as the more pure
metal (copper) will eat away at the less pure (Galvanized). This is referred to as electrolysis. Ideally a
coupler or brass would have been used between the two metals.
Client should be aware that this older pipe is at the end of its serviceable life. What occurs is that the
pipe corrodes from the inside out causing a drop in water volume when more than one fixture is
operated. Contact at least two or three licensed and insured plumbers for estimates on replacement.
Other implications are greater for potential leaks, flooding of crawl space, settlement of the structure and
other structural damage.

5.5 EXTERIOR HOSE BIBS:Apparent leak at building 222 back.
WASTE DISPOSAL:
5.6 SEWAGE DISPOSAL TYPE:Sewer line from the building to the street sewer is not visible in this type of general visual inspection.
Inspector can not determine condition or adequacy of this waste pipe. We always recommend
contracting with a qualified sewer line inspector who uses a scope and camera to view the system and
render a report as to its condition.
5.7 MATERIAL & CONDITION:
Combination of older cast iron, galvanize and copper.
Client should be aware that the normal life span of cast iron or galvanized waste pipe is generally 55 to
65 years. This older pipe tends to corrode from the inside restricting waste flow and back ups become
more and more frequent. Upgrades should be anticipated
Rust knobs noted, general corrosion and existing leaks. Some upgrades were achieved however

conditions exists that can still affect efficient use.
OTHER PLUMBING:
5.8 LAWN SPRINKLERS:
Report: Alliance PCR 1234 Anywhere, Los Angeles, CA 91040 Address:Page 20
© Confidential - for client use only. Use by any unauthorized persons is prohibited.
The evaluation of the installed lawn sprinkler is
beyond the scope of this inspection. Recommend
further inspection by a licensed plumber or lawn
sprinkler company.
It should however be mentioned that all exterior
irrigation lines appear to be older galvanize pipe.
There is rust and corrosion seen indicating that pipe
is at the end of its serviceable life.
PVC for irrigation does pass through crawl space.
Visible sections lack support. Implications are
potential for leak, flooding crawl space and posing
structural damage.
WATER HEATER 1:

5.10 Model & Serial Numbers:
Report: Alliance PCR 1234 Anywhere, Los Angeles, CA 91040 Address:Page 21
© Confidential - for client use only. Use by any unauthorized persons is prohibited.
5.11 AGE:13 year old. Average life span of a water heater is 12 to 15 years.
5.12 TANK CAPACITY:100 gallon.
5.13 FUEL SOURCE:Natural gas.
5.14 CONDITION:Water heater does not sit plumb. Implications are affected operation and void of any warranties.
5.15 COMBUSTION AIR:Adequate amount of fresh air supply to ensure complete combustion.
5.16 VENT PIPE CONDITION:Evidence of poor drafting. This means that the gases
are spilling back down rather than expelling to the
exteriors. Vent pipe is connected to an older clay
transite pipe (Possibly asbestos). Manufacturers and
some jurisdictions recommend that this not be done
as it can affect proper drafting of gases and can
pose some health risk.
5.17 TEMPERATURE CONTROL:Not operated or tested.
5.18 TPRV:No overflow pipe installed. For safety reasons,
immediate installation is needed to help minimize the
possibility of serious injury. It should extend outside
the building to the exteriors.

Tank should sit plumb. Implications are affected operation and void of any warranty.
5.26 VENT PIPE CONDITION:Inadequate clearance from flue pipe to adjacent
combustible product. Corrections are needed as this
is a potential fire hazard.
5.27 TEMPERATURE CONTROL:Not operated or tested.
5.28 TPRV:Temperature and pressure relief valve is installed and it has a drain tube that terminates to approved
location.
Be aware that the consultant can not detect gas leaks and is only commenting on visual portions of the gas
lines. Consultant does not operate gas valves nor light pilots to appliances that are off at the time of thewalk through survey. Much of the gas lines, such as to any pool heater or BBQ are below grade and
therefore not visible as mentioned above and can not be located or viewed for observation. Consultant isalso not performing any calculations as to pipe sizing for certain appliances or adequacy and efficiency of
flow and pressure. This can only be done by qualified licensed professional plumbing contractor with theuse of special gauges and instruments.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
In accordance with the standards of practice we only test a representative number of switches and outlets and donot perform load-calculations to determine if the supply meets the demand. However, every electrical deficiency orrecommended upgrade should be regarded as a latent hazard that should be serviced as soon as possible, alongwith evaluation and certification of the entire system as safe by a licensed contractor. Therefore, it is essential thatany recommendations that are made for service or upgrades should be completed before the close of escrow orduring contingency period, because an electrician could reveal additional deficiencies or recommend additionalupgrades for which we disclaim any responsibility. Any electrical repairs or upgrades should be made by a licensedelectrician. Aluminum wiring requires periodic inspection and maintenance by a licensed electrician. SmokeAlarms should be installed within 15 feet of all bedroom doors, and tested regularly.
Operation of time clock motors is not verified. Inoperative light fixtures often lack bulbs or have dead bulbsinstalled. The consultant is not required to insert any tool, probe, or testing device inside the panels, test or operateany over-current device except for ground fault interrupters, nor dismantle any electrical device or control otherthan to remove the covers of the main and auxiliary distribution panels. Any ancillary wiring or system that is notpart of the primary electrical distribution system is not part of this PCA but may be mentioned for informationalpurposes only, including but not limited to low voltage systems, security system devices, heat detectors, carbonmonoxide detectors, telephone, security, cable TV, intercoms, and built in vacuum equipment.

not approve of this type of installation as it can affect
proper contact of the conductors and affect proper
function.
6.6 BREAKER/FUSE:Electrical switch panels are manufactured by Federal
Pacific and is equipped with "Stab Lock" breakers.
Client should understand that this equipment has
been found to be defective or considered
problematic to most electricians in the industry and
could pose a latent hazard. Suggest consulting a
qualified licensed electrical contractor for addition
information and consider upgrades. Additional
information can also be obtained through the web
site.

WIRING TYPE & CONDITION:
6.13 WIRING TYPE & CONDITION:
Copper - The structure is wired using plastic and cloth insulated copper single conductor.
It looks as though that some of the wiring is of the older cloth insulation. This type of insulation wears
and breaks off with age. Most electricians in the industry will recommend upgrades to newer plastic
insulated conductors for safety reasons. We recommend that a qualified licensed and insured contractor
do further inspection and evaluation of any cloth covered wiring.
OUTLETS & SWITCHES:
6.14 SMOKE DETECTORS:Disclaimer - The existing smoke detectors were not tested, but they are only noted as to presence. We
do not test the smoke detectors because they may work today but not work when you need them to
work. This is why it is important for you to test them on a regular basis, monthly at least.

BUILDING FOUNDATION:
All structures are dependent on the soil beneath them for support, but soils are not uniform. Some that
appear to be firm and solid can become unstable during seismic activity or may expand with the influx ofwater, moving structures with relative easy and fracturing slabs and other hard surfaces. In accordance
with our standards of practice, we identify foundation types and look for any evidence of structuraldeficiencies. However, minor cracks or deteriorated surfaces are common in many foundations and most
do not represent a structural problem. If major cracks are present along with bowing, we routinelyrecommend further evaluation be made by a qualified structural engineer. All exterior grades should allow
for surface and roof water to flow away from the foundation. All concrete floor slabs experience somedegree of cracking due to shrinkage in the curing process. In most instances floor coverings preventrecognition of cracks or settlement in all but the most severe cases. Where carpeting and other floor
coverings are installed, the materials and condition of the flooring underneath cannot be determined. Areas hidden from view by finished walls or stored items cannot be judged and are not a part of the walk
through.
FOUNDATION:
9.1 TYPE:Raised Foundation with a crawlspace -
Refers to a foundation wall with a footer
below without a finished floor.
9.2 MATERIALS:Poured in place concrete.
9.3 PERCENTAGE VISIBLE:Exterior view of the foundation is limited to the portions visible above grade.
9.4 CONDITION:Foundation is performing the job it was intended to do in supporting the structure. One or two cracks
noted that can be repaired by epoxy injection and bolt plating.
9.5 ADJACENT GRADE:Efflorescence noted. (This is the white chalk like substance) is seen on areas of concrete indicating past
water infiltration. Corrections are needed to adjacent grade as this can promote decay.
9.6 FOUNDATION ANCHORED?

Walk-through survey of living space includes the visually accessible areas of walls, floors, cabinets and closets, andthe testing of a representative number of windows and doors, switches and outlets. We do not evaluate windowtreatments, move furnishings or possessions, lift carpets or rugs, empty closets or cabinets, nor comment oncosmetic deficiencies. Floor covering damage or stains may be hidden by furniture, and the condition of floorsunderlying floor coverings may go unnoted. Determining the condition of insulated glass windows is not alwayspossible due to temperature, weather and lighting conditions. Check with owners for further information. Testing,identifying, or identifying the source of environmental pollutants or odors (including but not limited to lead, mold,allergens, odors from household pets and cigarette smoke) is beyond the scope of our service, but can becomeequally contentious or difficult to eradicate.

GARAGE
Determining the heat resistance rating of firewalls is beyond the scope of walk-through. Flammable
materials should not be stored within closed garage areas. Garage door openings are not standard, so youmay wish to measure the opening to ensure that there is sufficient clearance to accommodate your

Minimal Environmental
ENVIRONMENT:
15.1 High voltage towers?There are no high voltage towers nearby subject property.
15.2 EMF testing?No-Inspector did not conduct a test for electro magnetic field. Electromagnetic field radiation is invisible
and prevalent throughout. Subtle energies constantly swirl in and around our bodies, whether or not we
are aware of them. Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) are energy waves with frequencies below 300 hertz or
cycles per second. The electromagnetic fields we encounter daily come from every day things such as
power lines, radar and microwave towers, television and computer screens, motors, fluorescent lights,
microwave ovens, cell phones, electric blankets, house wiring and hundreds of other common electrical
devices. Those EMF readings of most concerns are usually when high voltage power lines are nearby.
15.3 Radon:Inspector did not perform any radon testing. Radon is found in some geographical areas. Radon is a
cancer causing, radioactive gas that comes from the decay of radium in the soil, which is a decay
product of uranium. Radon is a colorless, odorless, invisible gas that occurs naturally. Chronic exposure
to elevated radon levels has been linked to an increased incidence of lung cancer in humans. The risk
increases for those who smoke. Most areas of Los Angeles are under Zone 2
A Map was developed by the EPA using five factors to determine radon potential: indoor radon
measurements; geology; aerial radioactivity; soil permeability; and, foundation type. Radon potential
assessment is based on geologic provinces. Radon Index Matrix is the quantitative assessment of radon
potential. Confidence Index Matrix shows the quantity and quality of the data used to assess radon
potential. Geologic Provinces were adapted to county boundaries for the Map of Radon Zones. You can
find additional information on the EPA web site.
15.4 Asbestos?Yes-there is high probability that the structure contains asbestos, such as Asbestos is the name given to
a group of naturally occurring minerals used in certain products, such as building materials, such as
roofing material, siding and duct insulation to name a few. Asbestos includes chrysotile, amosite,
crocidolite, tremolite asbestos, anthophyllite asbestos, actinolite asbestos, and any of these materials
that have been chemically treated and/or altered.
15.5 Lead Paint?There is a high probability that the structure contains lead base paint as it was constructed prior to 1978.
Lead has long been recognized as a harmful environmental pollutant. In late 1991, the Secretary of the
Department of Health and Human Services called lead the "number one environmental threat to the
health of children in the United States." There are many ways in which humans are exposed to lead:
through air, drinking water, food, contaminated soil, deteriorating paint, and dust. Airborne lead enters
the body when an individual breathes or swallows lead particles or dust once it has settled. Before it was
known how harmful lead could be, it was used in paint, gasoline, water pipes, and many other products.
Old lead-based paint is the most significant source of lead exposure in the U.S. today. Harmful
exposures to lead can be created when lead-based paint is improperly removed from surfaces by dry

scraping, sanding, or open-flame burning. High concentrations of airborne lead particles in homes can
also result from lead dust from outdoor sources, including contaminated soil tracked inside, and use of
lead in certain indoor activities such as soldering and stained-glass making
15.6 Urea-FormaldehideFormaldehyde is a pungent, colourless gas commonly used in water solution as a preservative and
disinfectant. It is also a basis for major plastics, including durable adhesives. It occurs naturally in the
human body and in the outdoor environment. Formaldehyde is used to bond plywood, particleboard,
carpets and fabrics, and it contributes to "that new house smell." Formaldehyde is also a by product of
combustion; it is found in tobacco smoke, vehicle exhaust and the fumes from furnaces, fireplaces and
wood stoves.
While small amounts of formaldehyde are harmless, it is an irritating and toxic gas in significant
concentrations. Symptoms of overexposure to formaldehyde include irritation to eyes, nose and throat;
persistent cough and respiratory distress; skin irritation; nausea; headache; and dizziness.
Health Canada has determined that 0.1 parts per million (ppm) is a safe level of formaldehyde in the
home. Sensitivity to this level may vary based on individual age and health
15.7 Pest Infestation?Not part of this assessment.
15.8 Mold or other bio organisms?Molds are forms of fungi that are found naturally in the environment. Molds are in the soil, and on dead
and decaying matter. Outdoors, molds play a key role in the breakdown of leaves, wood and other plant
debris. Molds come in a variety of colors, including green, black, white, brown and orange. Molds can
appear fuzzy or in slimy streaks. There is often a musty or earthy odor around molds.
Molds make tiny spores to reproduce, just as some plants produce seeds. Indoors, these mold spores
move through the air and settle on surfaces. When mold spores land on a damp spot, they may begin to
grow and multiply.
Molds need moisture and a food source. Good food sources for molds are cloth, wood, wallboard and
insulation, but molds can grow on almost anything. Water or moisture is the factor that limits mold
growth. When there is a wet surface or material that is not dried or discarded promptly (for example,
water discharged from a burst pipe), molds can grow within 24 to 48 hours in the area. Additional data
can be found via web site or by a qualified mold specialist.
Our view of the this structure is limited. We do not conduct a mold test or visually look for mold, unless it
is in full view of an area that was accessed. Mold inspections can and should only be done by qualified
mold experts as they use special instruments and means of testing that are beyond the scope of this
PCA-PCR.
