APPENDICES
APPENDIX C: QUALIFICATIONS
The purpose of this report is to assist Berkadia Commercial Mortgage LLC, (the “Client”), in
evaluation of the physical aspects of the subject property and how its condition may affect their
financial decisions over time. The scope of the observation and report is based on the guidelines
set forth by ASTM E2018-08 "Standard Guide for Property Condition Assessments” and the Freddie
Mac Engineering and Property Condition Report Requirements.
This report is intended to be utilized by lenders for evaluating the general overall physical condition
of the subject property for the purposes of securing the debt created through the financing of the
subject property. It is not intended to be used by an owner or borrower, or any other party for the
purpose of evaluating specific building components and systems, nor is it intended to be used as
an instrument in the purchase negotiations related to the acquisition of real property. The scope
and purpose of such a report differs significantly, and may be considerably more detailed and
tailored to the specific requirements of the client. This report was not prepared to the level of detail
typically ascribed to engineering reports in the marketplace for real estate acquisitions.
This report is for the use and benefit of, and may be relied upon by
a) the Seller/Servicer, Freddie Mac and any successors and assigns (“Lender”);
b) independent auditors, accountants, attorneys and other professionals acting on behalf of
Lender;
c) governmental agencies having regulatory authority over Lender;
d) designated persons pursuant to an order or legal process of any court or governmental
agency;
e) prospective purchasers of the Mortgage; and
f) with respect to any debt (or portion thereof) and/or securities secured, directly or indirectly,
by the Property which is the subject of this report, the following parties and their respective
successors and assigns:
• any placement agent or broker/dealer and any of their respective affiliates, agents
and advisors;
• any initial purchaser or subsequent holder of such debt and/or securities;
• any Servicer or other agent acting on behalf of the holders of such debt and/or
securities;
• any indenture trustee;
• any rating agency; and
In addition, this report, or a reference to this report, may be included or quoted in any offering
circular, information circular, offering memorandum, registration statement, private placement
memorandum, prospectus or sales brochure (in either electronic or hard copy format) in connection
with a securitization or transaction involving such debt (or portion thereof) and/or securities.
1.3 QUALIFIERS
The following definitions and terminology are used in this report regarding the physical condition
of the project, and the estimated life expectancies/age of the components and systems.
Cost opinions are based on construction costs developed by construction resources such as
Marshall & Swift, RS Means, Partner’s experience with past costs for similar projects, city cost
indexes, consulting with local specialty contractors, client provided information, and assumptions
regarding future economic conditions. Actual costs may differ from Partner’s opinions. Actual cost
estimates are determined by many factors including but not limited to: choice and availability of
materials, choice and availability of a qualified contractor, regional climate zone, quality of existing
materials, site compatibility, and access to the subject property and buildings. Opinion of costs are
based solely on material replacement and do not account for soft costs.
Items included in the replacement reserve table are determined based upon the estimated useful
life (EUL) of a system or component, the effective age (EA) of the system, and the remaining useful
life (RUL) of that system. Factors that may affect the age and condition of a system include, but are
not limited to, the frequency of use, exposure to environmental elements, quality of construction
and installation, and amount of maintenance provided. Based on these factors, a system may have
an effective age that is greater or less than its actual chronological age. Routine maintenance costs
are not included as part of this report.
ASTM E2018-08 requires disclosure of any deviation from the Standard. The deviations listed below
were specified in the Partner scope of work. These deviations are intended to make the PCA more
comprehensive. The following is a list of the deviations from, and additions to ASTM E2018-08.
• This PCA includes an opinion of costs for anticipated capital expenditures for an evaluation
term defined by the Client. The costs are presented in Section IV – Capital Needs Over Loan
Term.
The observation performed by Partner is based upon the guidelines set forth by ASTM E2018-08
“Standard Guide for Property Condition Assessments: Baseline Property Condition Assessment
Process” and subject to the limitations stated therein. Our review of the subject property consisted
of a visual observation of the site, the structure(s) and the accessible interior spaces. Any technical
analyses made are based on the appearance of the improvements at the time of this observation
and the evaluator’s judgment of the physical condition of the subject property components, their
ages and their expected useful life (EUL).
Information regarding the subject property is obtained from a subject property walk-through
observation, local government agency records review, interviews and client-, tenant- or property
owner-provided documents. No material sampling, invasive or destructive investigations,
equipment or system testing sampling was performed. The observations and related comments
within this report are limited in nature and should not be inferred as a full and comprehensive
survey of the building components and systems.
Information regarding operations, conditions, and test data provided by the Client, property owner,
or their respective representatives has been assumed to be correct and complete. No warranty is
expressed or implied, except that the services rendered have been performed in accordance with
generally-accepted practices applicable at the time and location of the study
The actual performance of Property systems and components may vary from a reasonably expected
standard and will be affected by circumstances that occur after the date of the evaluation. Partner’s
observations, analyses and opinions expressed within this report are not representations regarding
either the design integrity or the structural soundness of the project.
The report does not identify minor, inexpensive repairs or maintenance items, which are clearly part
of the subject property owner’s current operating budget so long as these items appear to be
addressed on a regular basis. The report does identify infrequently occurring maintenance items of
significant cost, such as exterior painting, roofing, deferred maintenance and repairs and
replacements that normally involve major expense or outside contracting.
The observation of the roof, façade and substructure contained herein cannot specifically state that
these items are free of leaks and/or water intrusion and should not be interpreted as such.
Comments made with respect to the condition of the systems are limited to visual observation and
The PCA performed for this report is not a comprehensive Americans with Disabilities Act
review. During the observation, only visual observations were performed without taking any
measurements. The observation is generally limited to common areas of the subject property
unless previously requested otherwise. Items noted typically include accessible parking spaces,
accessible routes to building entrances, and observations of interior publicly-accessible areas. Even
within this limited scope, all components of federally-required accessibility are not audited. Instead,
this review noted general design components such as routes of travel, door hardware, plumbing
amenities, elevator controls and signals, basic emergency alarm components and signage which
can be visually verified. This report also does not address any locally-administered accessibility
requirements.
In order to determine if a property meets all of the requirements of the ADA, a comprehensive
survey would be necessary.
In addition, the performance of this observation was limited by the following conditions:
This report is based on the observation conducted by Ruth Siegel on December 1, 2015. Weather
at the time of observation was partially cloudy to sunny with temperatures of approximately 65ºF.
Partner was escorted by Rachel Luczak and Robert Veliz during the observation.
The following personnel were interviewed as part of the preparation of this report or were present
during the observation. Information obtained from the interviews is incorporated into the
appropriate Sections of this report.
City Secretary
Comments: A Freedom of Information Act letter was sent to the above municipality to request
any outstanding building code violations. To date, a response has not been received.
Fire Marshal
Comments: A Freedom of Information Act letter was sent to the above municipality to request
any outstanding Fire code violations. According to records on file with the City of
Fredericksburg there are no current violations on file for the subject property.
City Secretary
Comments: A Freedom of Information Act letter was sent to the above municipality to request
any outstanding building code violations. To date, a response has not been received.
The subject property is designated as Zone R3 Multifamily on the current City of Fredericksburg
zoning map.
The information provided on this list does not constitute a detailed investigation. If possible,
Partner confirmed the provided information with on-site observations. Information provided by
others is assumed to be factual and complete. Information that is received within 30 days of the
site visit will be forwarded upon receipt.
Partner reviewed the following documents as part of this report. Information obtained from the
documents is incorporated into the appropriate Sections of this report. If available, copies of the
referenced documents are included in the appendices.
The subject property is essentially flat with grading for landscape features and drainage to the
street. The topography before grading appears to have been a slope to the southeast. The
topography in the vicinity of the subject property is generally sloping slightly to the southeast.
Partner observed evidence of storm water runoff, consisting of silt deposits and erosion from the
adjacent property to the west at the easement, at the bare earth areas on the allee, and beside the
top of the retaining walls. Erosion was observed as beginning at bare soil areas at the walk between
Building #1 and #5, behind Building #3 and the leasing office, and at the entrance sign. Partner
recommends adding edging and stabilizing measures at barren ground areas. An opinion of cost
is included in Section III: Critical and Priority Repair Needs and Cost Estimate.
Partner observed ponding on the concrete paving at the easement and at the end of the allee
sidewalk. An immediate repair of regrading the pavement and sidewalk is recommended to
eliminate ponding. An opinion of cost is included in Section III: Critical and Priority Repair Needs
and Cost Estimate.
No other settling ponds, lagoons, surface impoundments, wetlands or natural catch basins were
observed.
The north and west perimeters of the subject property have limestone retaining walls. An allee, a
tree lined walk from east to west that separates the leasing office and Building #3 from the rest of
the property, is depressed with retaining walls to either sides. Retaining walls surround the play
area and decorate the open courtyard between Buildings #2 and #4. The retaining walls range up
to three feet tall.
Landscaped areas, consisting of grass-covered lawns, trees and shrubs are provided along the
perimeters of the subject buildings and Property. An underground automatic irrigation system is
provided.
Vehicular paving on the subject property consists of concrete-paved drive lanes with parking to
one or both sides. Concrete pavement is used at the driveway approaches on the eastern perimeter.
Painted parking stall stripes, accessible stall designation striping and drive/curb markings were
noted throughout parking areas.
Concrete curbs with integral gutters were observed in the parking areas, adjacent frontage
walkways and around perimeter and island landscaping locations.
The pavement markings were observed to be in good condition. Based on EUL, the pavement
should be restriped during the evaluation period. An opinion of cost for this work is included in
Section IV: Capital Needs Over Loan Term.
The curbs and gutters appeared to be in good condition. Other than routine maintenance, which
includes minor concrete curb repair, no significant capital expenditures anticipated over the term.
Patios appear to be in good condition. Other than routine maintenance, no significant capital
expenditures anticipated over the reserve term. Painting of the patio walls is assumed to be
addressed at the time of the painting of the building exteriors.
Wood stockade fencing is provided along the north, west, and south perimeters. The perimeter
fencing along the street-facing, east property line is painted metal fencing.
The light fixtures were observed and reported to be in good overall condition. Partner anticipates
that the light fixtures will require minimal repairs and replacements that can be addressed as part
of routine maintenance.
Property identification signage is mounted on a low-height concrete and stone monument sign
located adjacent to the main property entrance drive location. Buildings and apartment units are
identified with unit numbers mounted on the building exteriors and on the front of the entrance
door, respectively.
Solid waste dumpsters were observed along the western perimeter. The dumpsters are located on
concrete paving without enclosures. The dumpsters are the property of the waste collection
contractor.
One, in-ground, outdoor swimming pool is provided for resident use. The swimming pool is
constructed of concrete with ceramic tile at the water line. The concrete deck-walking surface forms
the coping to the pool. The support equipment for the pool is located at a concrete pad adjacent
to the leasing office building. The equipment consists of a water filter and circulating pump.
A playground equipment set is located on a graveled-covered area with an additional play area of
a concrete pad. A picnic table is located beside the playground.
Utility Provider
Gas None
Based on our experience with similar structures and observations, the substructures appear to be
constructed of reinforced-concrete spread footings supporting concrete slabs-on-grade and
continuous perimeter and interior bearing walls.
4.2 SUPERSTRUCTURE
Each building frame consists primarily of wood-frame construction supporting the roofing system.
The upper-level framing system consists of wooden beams and joists supporting plywood floor
decking with a lightweight concrete topping. The roof framing system consists of wood framing
supporting plywood sheathing.
4.3 ROOFING
Storm water runoff for the roof is directed to gutters and downspouts connected to underground
drains that discharge directly to the driveway pavement.
The building exteriors are finished with painted stucco and limestone perimeter walls with painted
cementitious siding breezeways. Additional painted wooden surfaces consist of eave boards, and
building soffits.
Based on the average effective useful life of paint coatings, exterior painting is anticipated during
the analysis period. Partner recommends additional maintenance consisting of cleaning the
exterior surfaces and applying new caulking and sealants as needed. An opinion of cost for this
work is included in Section IV: Capital Needs Over Loan Term.
4.4.2 Windows
The subject buildings are provided with single-hung, double-pane windows in aluminum frames.
4.4.3 Doors
Apartment entry doors are painted, metal-faced, solid core wood set in wooden frames. Door entry
hardware at ground floor units is typically a lever with separate, locking deadbolt. Door entry
hardware at second floor units is typically a knob with separate, locking deadbolt.
4.5.1 Balconies
Balconies are constructed of wooden substructures with plywood sheathing and concrete topping.
The balconies are sidewall supported. The balcony decks are sloped towards the exterior and away
from the building walls. The balcony guardrails are constructed of painted metal railings. Balcony
soffits consist of painted exterior gypsum board.
4.5.2 Stairs
The apartment buildings have exterior stairs providing access to the second floor apartment units.
Exterior stairs are steel-framed with concrete treads on steel angles. Steel pipe guardrails are
located on the open sides. Observed steel components are painted.
Partner recommends that property management and maintenance personnel routinely inspect
exterior components for damage. In general, exterior stairwells and associated components should
be addressed on an as-needed basis as part of routine maintenance. Exterior metal components
should be treated for corrosion during exterior repainting activities.
The buildings have exterior stairs providing access to the upper-floor apartment units by way of
wood-framed elevated landings and breezeways. The elevated landings and breezeways are
constructed of wooden substructures with plywood sheathing and concrete topping. Painted metal
guard rails are installed at open landing perimeters. Soffits consist of painted plywood with painted,
wood trim at joints.
The dwelling units are heated and cooled by split system air conditioners with electric heating. The
fan coil unit is recessed in the bathroom ceiling with a condensate drip to the tub plumbing. The
air-conditioning condensing unit is pad-mounted on grade.
Ventilation from the toilet rooms is provided by central fans which vent through the roofs.
5.2.1 Piping
Domestic water piping was reported by property management to be CPVC, throughout the
structures. Partner observed CPVC and copper piping at hot water heaters. Sanitary drainage and
vent piping is reported by property management and observed by Partner to be PVC.
Domestic hot water is provided by 50-gallon tank capacity, electric water heaters installed in each
unit. The majority of the units observes are manufactured by Goodman.
5.5 ELEVATORS
Handheld fire extinguishers were observed at several tenant spaces in hall clothes closets.
A one-story clubhouse building houses the leasing office, a lounge area, kitchenette, fitness room
and restrooms. The building is of similar construction to the apartment buildings. The community
room has furnishings, television, and a small kitchen area that can be used by tenants of the
apartment complex. The finishes consist of ceramic tile and carpet flooring, and painted drywall
ceilings and walls. Lighting consists of recessed incandescent fixtures and surface mounted
fluorescent light fixtures.
One laundry room with coin-operated washers and dryers is located at the center of the subject
property in a laundry/maintenance building. The coin-operated washers and dryers are owned,
serviced and maintained by an outside vendor. Finishes for the laundry room include vinyl
composition tile (VCT) flooring and painted drywall partitions and ceilings.
The clubhouse restrooms and hallway finishes consist of ceramic tile floors and painted drywall
ceilings and walls. Lighting consists of recessed incandescent fixtures.
Partner observed over ten percent of the residential units, including a minimum of 50% of vacant
units. No down units were identified at the time of the assessment by management.
Observed units were noted to be in good overall condition. Observed units were selected by
Partner. Refer to the Form 1105 Section I for a list of units viewed, sizes and occupancy.
The interior walls consist primarily of painted gypsum wall-board. The ceilings are primarily painted
smooth gypsum board. Interior doors are painted, hollow core wood set in wood frames.
6.3.3 Flooring
The flooring is comprised of carpeting in the unit living and bedroom areas, and carpeting or vinyl
plank flooring in the dining room areas, with sheet vinyl or vinyl plank flooring in the kitchen, utility,
bathroom and entry landing areas.
The kitchens are equipped with stainless steel sinks, composition board cabinets and plastic
laminate on particle board countertops. Typical bathroom fixtures include a floor-mounted, tank-
type commode, a lavatory with a vanity, and a shower/bathtub arrangement with a one-piece
fiberglass surround.
6.3.5 Appliances
Each residential unit is provided with the following appliances: frost-free refrigerators, dishwashers,
electric oven-cooktop units, and garbage disposals.
Hook-ups for washers and dryers are provided, however, the tenant must provide their own units.
Appliances are manufactured by Kenmore and Hotpoint and are of various ages.
Microbial growth (e.g., mold or fungus) typically occurs when excess moisture is present. Porous
building materials such as gypsum board, insulation in walls and ceilings, and carpeting retain
moisture and become microbial growth sites if moisture sources are not controlled or mitigated.
Potential sources of moisture include rainwater intrusion, groundwater intrusion, condensation on
cold surfaces, and water leaks from building systems (e.g., plumbing leaks, HVAC system leaks,
overflowing drains, etc.). Inadequate ventilation of clothes dryers and shower stalls may also result
in excess moisture conditions. Microbial growth may be clearly visible (e.g., ceramic tile mortar in
shower stalls) or may be concealed with no visible evidence of its existence (e.g., inside wall cavities).
As part of the walk-through survey, Partner observed areas susceptible to water penetration and
potential mold locations. Partner performed a limited visual and olfactory survey for the
conspicuous presence of mold. Destructive sampling was not included in the scope of work for this
survey. The observation consisted of gaining entry to interior spaces and visually evaluating the
accessible areas.
Management reported that mold or microbial growth has not been observed at the subject
property, with the exception at Unit 413, and that tenant occupants have not had complaints
concerning mold or microbial growth. Ms. Luczak indicated that no formal indoor air quality
management plan currently exists at the subject property. Partner identified no documents
regarding indoor air quality or microbial concerns.
Management was not aware of any roof leaks, water leaks or infiltration and associated damage
from pipes, fixtures, or HVAC systems at the subject property, with the exception at Unit 413. No
flood drain or ground water problems were reported.
Mr. Veliz reported that the shower at the occupied unit above Unit #413 leaked, but the tenant
delayed reporting the leak for a few weeks. As observed, the bathroom in Unit #413 had suspect
microbial growth formed on the ceiling gypsum board and possible floor joist. Repairs are
recommended to the unit which include cleaning the walls, ceiling, and exposed framing and
subfloor, replacing gypsum wallboard, and painting. An opinion of cost to repair this area is
included in Section III: Immediate Repair Needs and Cost Estimate.
As part of the walk-through survey, Partner observed the subject property for visual signs of
damage caused by potential wood-destroying organisms including granular pellets, mud tubes, dry
rot, or swarming activity indicative of organism activity as required based on the Freddie Mac
Guidelines in sections 14.5(a) and 14.5(b).
Management did not report whether the subject property is routinely inspected and treated.
Partner is not a licensed termite inspector. This report is not intended to be construed, perceived,
or substituted for a termite report. Partner does not access crawl spaces, excavated sections around
8.1 FLOOD
Partner performed a review of the Flood Insurance Rate Map, published by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency. Flood hazard areas identified on the Flood Insurance Rate Map are identified
as a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). SFHA are defined as the area that will be inundated by the
flood event having a 1-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year. The 1-
percent annual chance flood is also referred to as the base flood or 100-year flood. SFHAs are
labeled as Zone A, Zone AO, Zone AH, Zones A1-A30, Zone AE, Zone A99, Zone AR, Zone AR/AE,
Zone AR/AO, Zone AR/A1-A30, Zone AR/A, Zone V, Zone VE, and Zones V1-V30. These areas
required Flood Insurance. Moderate flood hazard areas, labeled Zone B or Zone X (shaded) are
also shown on the FIRM, and are the areas between the limits of the base flood and the 0.2-percent-
annual-chance (or 500-year) flood. The areas of minimal flood hazard, which are the areas outside
the SFHA and higher than the elevation of the 0.2-percent-annual-chance flood, are labeled Zone
C or Zone X (unshaded).
According to Community Panel Number C288, dated October 19, 2001, the subject property
appears to be located in Flood X.
8.2 WIND
Partner performed a review of the Wind Zone Map, published by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency. According to the map, the subject property appears to be located in Wind
Zone III, an area with design winds speeds up to 200 miles per hour. The subject property does not
appear to be located in a special wind region or hurricane-susceptible zone.
8.3 SEISMIC
Partner performed a review of the Property’s horizontal Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) as dictated
by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) website. Based on the analysis of the PGA with an
exceedance probability of 10% in 50 years also known as the 475-year PGA, the property is
determined to be: 0.00894g.
In July 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law, extending civil rights
protection for persons with disabilities. Generally, Title III of the ADA prohibits discrimination by
entities to access and use of “areas of public accommodations” and “commercial facilities” on the
basis of disability. Regardless of their age, these areas and facilities must be maintained and
operated to comply with the ADA.
Buildings completed and occupied after January 26, 1992 are required to fully comply with ADA.
Existing facilities constructed prior to this date are held to the lesser standard of complying with
the extent allowed by structural feasibility and the financial resources available, or a reasonable
accommodation must be made.
At a multi-family residential development, areas that are required to comply with ADA standards
typically include the leasing office and commercial spaces, if applicable (i.e., “areas of public
accommodation”). Design elements indicative of accessibility compliance include, but are not
limited to: a van accessible parking space with adjacent access aisle near the leasing office and
commercial spaces (if applicable), an accessible route of travel from these parking spaces to the
area of public accommodation, and adequate access throughout the interior, including visitor
restroom facilities.
Based upon our limited survey, no readily apparent limitations were found or reported.
Future renovations or alteration of the subject property may require additional proportional
compliance with ADA requirements. This determination should be made by the local governing
authority when permit acquisition for renovation is made.
The Fair Housing Amendment Act of 1988 (FHAA) requirements cover buildings consisting of four
or more dwelling units with first occupancy after March 13, 1991. If such buildings have one or
more elevators, all dwelling units are covered by the Act; otherwise, in buildings without elevators,
only ground floor dwelling units are covered by the Act. Townhouses are exempted from the Act.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has published Final Design Guidelines
(see Federal Register, 24 CFR, Vol. 56, No. 44, March 6, 1991, page 9497).
The subject property was first occupied after March 13, 1991; as such, it is required to comply with
the provisions for existing buildings under the FFHA.
