Showers and Bathtubs in non-unit locations do not include any centrally located showers or bathtubs such as in group homes or SROs where the showers/bathtubs are shared facilities. In those cases, the showers/bathtubs should be associated with a sampled unit.
- The inspector should determine the proper functionality of a shower or bathtub by engaging all of the elements and observing its function.
- If the bathtub has a stopper or pop-up assembly, engage the stopper and turn on the water supply (e.g., faucet or shower head) and let the water run for 30-45 seconds so water fills the basin.
- Watch the water level and ensure that the bathtub stopper or assembly appropriately holds the water and prevents drainage while water is being held in the basin. If water is being held appropriately, release the stopper.
- Check the lower faucet and ensure that there are no leaks around the faucet.
