Portable 74 had a strong air freshener scent upon entering. A plug-in was observed and discarded by the inspector. School administration is to remind staff that air fresheners are not permitted in the classroom as it can be an irritant to others and could mask an odor of concern.
Portable 107 had the general inherent aroma associated with such constructed portable prototypes. No action required.

Several ceiling tiles were water stained and may be a result of the ongoing roof replacement project. Some noted areas included hallways (outside of electrical room near kitchen door, outside room 12, and near AED at kitchen door, outside of cafeteria doors nearest the stage) and rooms 108 & 121. If not already being address, contact project manager of roofing project and/or submit a work order to Building Services for tiles not related to the roofing project.

Room 106 was at 70% and was higher than other rooms served by same ventilation system type. Carpet had signs of topical moisture in random locations as determined by a moisture probe. A ceiling tile had been removed due to the roofing project and as a result, observed a void around pipes going through roof deck into a mechanical unit and/or room (may be contributing to increased relative humidity). Work Order 165596.
