Damaged and cut joists have not been re- placed. Plaster has not been removed and replaced. One- hour fire rating walls and ceilings have not been installed between apartments. There is no means for heating the building. No electrical work has been done. Plumbing re- pairs have not been made on the first floor nor in the basement.
