 PREVIOUSLY COMPLETED WORK BUT THAT HE WILL BE
 RESPONSIBLE TO REPAIR ANY VIOLATIONS AND TO PERMIT AND
 COMPLETE THE WORK. ADDITIONALLY HE WILL AMEND THE
 APPLICATION TO INCLUDE THE REMOVAL OF THE PREVIOUSLY
 COMPLETED SHOWER RECONFIGURATION. STUART REPORTED THE
 SHOWER RECONFIGURATION WAS COMPLETED BY GEORGE
 HERNANDEZ WHOM SHE HIRED THROUGH VARAS IN LATE JANUARY
 OR EARLY FEBRUARY. SHE STATED THAT WORK WAS DONE AT
 THAT TIME. STUART COULD NOT SUBSTANTIATE THAT ANY OF
 THE WORK WAS DONE BY PROPERLY LICENSED ENTITIES. SHE
 INDICATED SHE HAD NO CONTRACT FOR THE SHOWER WORK. IT
 WAS NOTED UPON CLOSE INSPECTION BY LARGE THAT A JOINT
 IN AN EXISTING PLUMBING SUPPLY LINE IN THE WALL CAVITY,
 ADJACENT TO THE RECONFIGURED SHOWER AND ABOVE THE

 THIS WAS THE SOURCE OF WATER DAMAGE TO HER UNIT AND
 SEVERAL OTHER UNITS. STUART FURTHER INDICATED THAT SHE
 REPORTED THE LOOSE JOINT TO THE POLICE AS AN ACT OF
 VANDALISM AND ALLEGED THAT AN UNKNOWN VANDAL CUT A
 SMALL HORIZONTAL HOLE IN THE WALL, FIT THEIR HANDS IN
 THE WALL AND PULLED A GLUED PVC JOINT APART BY APPLYING
 PRESSURE IN OPPOSITE VERTICAL DIRECTIONS. JENKINS
