Upon entering the bathroom, he was asked if he had been made aware of the sink coming loose from the wall or the baseboard coming off the wall. He stated, No, ma'am, I have not. I may need to replace the baseboard because that has been taped before, and when it is open like that, it can attract roaches because of the glue inside. I did not know about the sink.
