Virtual Inspection Form Healthy Homes Assessment for Community Health Workers 7/16/2018 Virtual Inspection Form Introduce Activity Explain that you have set up seven “inspection sites” around the room. At each site is a folder containing pictures of houses with one or more code violation. To facilitate this activity, the pictures are grouped into the seven Keep-Its, although of course they won’t have this luxury in the real world. Explain that you will be dividing the class into seven groups. The groups will rotate from site to site, conducting their inspections. Direct students to “Exercise 3: Virtual Inspection” form in their manuals, and explain that as they conduct their inspections, they are encouraged to take notes on the form in their manual. Remind students that this forms represents just one example of the type of checklist that might be used during an inspection. Or, since they have copies of these pictures in their manuals, they might want take their notes there. If you use the pictures in your manual, be sure to note not only the code being violated, but also who is responsible for addressing the issue. There are more examples of some violations than others, but they’ll only have a set amount of time at each site. Try to get through as many pictures as you can, but don’t worry if you don’t get through everything. Stress that they will have five minutes at each site. Describe how the flow of the rotation; i.e., how should groups move from site to site. After all groups have visited every site, we’ll reconvene to discuss our findings.   Conduct Activity Divide the class into groups, and assign one group to each site. Encourage each group to remember what site they are starting with; they will be responsible for reporting their findings for that site to the class later. Keep track of the time, and sound some type of alarm when it is time for groups to rotate. Circulate around the room to see how students are doing and to answer questions. Review Activity Ask students to return to their seats. Display the first “Moisture” slide, and ask a representative from the group that visited that site first to report on their findings. Invite others in the class to make other observations. Go through all “Moisture” slides one-by-one, as time allows. Repeat for each of the seven sites. When all sites have been reviewed, ask students if there are any additional comments they’d like to make. HHACHW_TG4_2016Nov_VIRTUAL INSPECTION

What's Wrong Here? (Moisture) Code Inspection for Healthier Homes 7/16/2018 What's Wrong Here? (Moisture) IPMC 304.6 Exterior walls. All exterior walls shall be free from holes, breaks, and loose or rotting materials; and maintained weatherproof and properly surface coated where required to prevent deterioration. NHHS 6.1. Moisture Prevention and Control. Every foundation, roof, roofing component, exterior wall, door, skylight, and window shall be watertight, weathertight, free of persistent dampness or moisture, and in good condition. 6.1.1. The building’s drainage system, such as footing or foundation drains, gutters, downspouts, rainwater collection containers, or other elements, shall direct water away from the structure. 6.1.5. Building material that is discolored or deteriorated by mold or mildew or causes a moldy or earthy odor shall be cleaned, dried, and repaired. Structurally unsound material shall be removed and replaced. Local? NOTE: The green discoloring on brick may not be mold but moss. Moss is a very simple plant that lacks conventional roots, stems, and leaves. Because of its lack of these traditional components, its growth is limited to moist locations. But if this criteria is met, you’ll find that moss is very capable of growing anywhere it pleases. Mold is a fungus that is made up of multiple cells and gets energy from the organic matter it lives on. Mold reproduces in spores, which can be airborne and are not visible to the naked eye. When you can see mold on a house or sidewalk, you are seeing a “colony.” A colony is a single organism that grows in long branching cells called hyphae. We mention a number of other things taking place in the slide as well: Visible mold on inside wall Lack of weep holes or that they are covered up Disconnected extension tube on the downspout Large tree adjacent to building foundation (footings) Code_TG6_2016Sep_VIRTUAL INSPECTION

NHHS 5.1. Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning Systems. Facilities for heating, cooling, ventilation, and humidity control shall be maintained in good working condition and operated when necessary for the health and comfort of the occupants and in accordance with the design capacity of the installed equipment. Within 48 hours after equipment has become inoperative due to a mechanical problem or power failure other than a utility outage, an alternative safe source of necessary heating, ventilating, or cooling shall be provided. 5.2.1. Venting and Air Supply for Heating Equipment. Furnaces, water heaters, wood stoves, and other devices that employ combustion-burning fuel shall be vented to the outside of the structure in an approved manner that meets manufacturer specifications and is in compliance with applicable codes and standards (e.g., ANSI 223.1/NFPA 54 National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 31 Standard for the Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment, NFPA 211 Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel-Burning Appliances) and shall be supplied with sufficient air to support the continuous complete combustion of fuel and prevent backdrafting. Local? NOTE: Why does this violate codes and what code(s) are being violated? Explain how and why the furnace exhaust (right) may overpower and prevent hot water heater exhaust from exiting the appliance/home. There may be a lot of discussion about this one. Both the water heater runs and furnace exhaust have flat runs (no rise to run ratio which should be 1 inch rise per 12 inch run). Code_TG6_2016Sep_VIRTUAL INSPECTION

Local? NOTE: Why does this violate codes and what codes are violated? What could this homeowner/landlord be cited for? Gas water heater is starved for combustion air, and when this make-up air is unavailable, it tries to pull air down the exhaust vent, which is called back-drafting or flameout. Two primary causes why hot water heater is starved for air: closet doors are closed and dryer being located in the same closet Could relocate washer and dryer Could added vents or louvers to closet doors or could always leave doors open Could install an electric water heater as it does not need air for combustion. Could provide filtered, passive, fresh air vent with internal damper piped to the exterior. Code_TG6_2016Sep_VIRTUAL INSPECTION

What's Wrong Here? (Contaminants) Code Inspection for Healthier Homes 7/16/2018 What's Wrong Here? (Contaminants) IPMC ?? NHHS 7.3. Asbestos. Every owner shall maintain in good repair all asbestos-containing material on the premises. All asbestos-containing material shall be maintained non-friable and free from any defects such as holes, cracks, tears, and/or looseness that may allow the release of fibers into the environment. Local? NOTE: Tell everyone what this is. The first picture is asbestos insulation for pipes. Asbestos may also be found in mastic and adhesives. Asbestos becomes a concern in single and multi-family dwellings when the materials containing asbestos are damaged and become friable. Friable means airborne. When these materials are disturbed, fibers are released that can be inhaled which creates the health threat. Code inspectors should be able to notify the occupants and or landlords of the suspect material that may contain asbestos and provide educational materials and recommend a professional to inspect the material.

What's Wrong Here? (Contaminants) Code Inspection for Healthier Homes 7/16/2018 IPMC 403.4 Process ventilation. Where injurious, toxic, irritating or noxious fumes, gases, dusts or mists are generated, a local exhaust ventilation system shall be provided to remove the contaminating agent at the source. Air shall be exhausted to the exterior and not be recirculated to any space. NHHS 2.2. Facilities. Requirement: Every plumbing fixture and pipe, chimney, flue, smoke pipe, and every other facility, piece of equipment, or utility shall be installed in conformance with applicable statutes, ordinances, and regulations. 2.2.1. Mechanical, utility, and heating equipment shall be separated from habitable rooms. In multifamily buildings, equipment rooms shall be locked. 7.1. General Requirements. All chemical and radiological agents in dwellings, premises, and accessory structures, including but not limited to deteriorated lead-based paint, friable asbestos-containing material, formaldehyde, volatile organic compounds, radon, pesticides, and methamphetamine, shall be contained, stored, removed, or mitigated in a safe and healthy manner consistent with federal, state, and local laws and regulations. When an applicable regulatory limit is more protective than the level included in this section, the more restrictive limit shall apply. Local? NOTE: This could be a good time to mention several things in addition to the possibility of CO…lack of ventilation and draft for incomplete combustion of gas fuel exhaust, faulty equipment, build up of rust in water heater that is transferred to domestic water supply, etc. I see several code violations here that could be fairly serious: Does the local jurisdiction require: 1. Gas shut off valves for one or both pieces of equipment 2) A method of collecting and draining water that would come from discharge of the Temperature/Pressure relief valve? You may want to mention the dangers of having sleeping areas next to utilities or garages. Code_TG6_2016Sep_VIRTUAL INSPECTION

NOTE: Radon pipes must be identified so they are not mistaken for drainage or vent pipes. Make sure occupants are aware of the ‘U’ gauge so they understand the pressure inside the radon pipe is different than the pressure in the room and it lets the occupants/landlords know the system is still operational.

Code Inspection for Healthier Homes 7/16/2018 What's Wrong Here? (Maintenance) IPMC 305.3 Interior surfaces. All interior surfaces, including windows and doors, shall be maintained in good, clean and sanitary condition. Peeling, chipping, flaking or abraded paint shall be repaired, removed or covered. Cracked or loose plaster, decayed wood and other defective surface conditions shall be corrected. NHHS 2.1. Structure. Every foundation, roof, floor, exterior and interior wall, ceiling, inside and outside stair, porch, trim, accessory structure, fence, door, window, and window glass shall be safe to use and capable of supporting the intended design loads and load effects and shall be in good condition. 7.2. Lead-Based Paint. Local? NOTE: Explain what is a problem in this picture. The friction of the door opening and closing has caused deterioration to the paint. Add that condition issues such as these are precursors to the inevitable decline in health, safety and sanitation for the overall building. Lack of maintenance such as this may be indicative of lack of maintenance overall throughout the building…especially those things you cannot see such as roof, siding, equipment, cleanliness, etc. Code_TG6_2016Sep_VIRTUAL INSPECTION

What's Wrong Here? (Maintenance) Code Inspection for Healthier Homes 7/16/2018 What's Wrong Here? (Maintenance) IPMC 304.6 Exterior walls. All exterior walls shall be free from holes, breaks, and loose or rotting materials; and maintained weatherproof and properly surface coated where required to prevent deterioration. NHHS 7.2. Lead-Based Paint. Local? NOTE: We can see deteriorated paint. It can be peeling, flaking, chipping or chalking. Chalking is when paint leaves a whitish film. You may have walked alongside a building and then noticed a white film on your clothing. This is chalking. The paint was designed to do this and help keep the exterior surfaces clean. Unfortunately, the chalking can contain lead and may be present in areas where children are playing. Again, stress that while it is a relatively minor code violation, it can indicate the interior and hidden conditions overall. How often is lead based paint cited? So, if you can only cite for exterior code violations and don’t have the ability to get into the building, what you see outside will help you to determine what may be going on inside the home.
