ENGINEERING PRIORITIES
FOR THE
2430 E STREET COMPLEX
The following items, while not a complete listing of all
existing deficiencies at the 2430 E Street Complex, represent
the items of major concern to the Real Estate and Construction
Division. It is felt that if a sincere and dedicated effort
is made to correct these problems, major improvements to the
habitability and working environment will result. Therefore,
this list reflects a first step towards the overall rehabili-
tation of the Complex.
1. Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Improvements
A. Automatic Controls - The controls for the major HVAC
systems sere ni g out East, and Central Buildings are not
functioning properly and are in need of repair and/or replace-
ment. In lieu of correcting this problem, GSA has attempted
to regulate temperatures within the buildings during this past
heating season by manually controlling the amount of steam
provided to the complex. This method has provided less than
satisfactory results. This problem should be corrected before
the next heating season.
B. East Building - The East Building is equipped With a
single pipe steam radiator heating system. Hand valves are
provided on each radiator in order to manually control the
temperature within the space. In many instances these valves
are inoperable. The existing valves on each radiator should
be replaced with new thermostatic valves which would allow
the temperature Within the space to be controlled automatically.
This modification would provide uniform control of temperatures
within the building and conserve energy.
C. Window Air Conditioners - The majority of the offices
in the three buTT-iii-s are equipped with window air-conditioning
units. Many of the units are antiquated and are not operating
at full capacity. These units should be repaired or replaced
as required.
2. Robfing and Waterproofing
A. South Building - The roof on South Building has been
neglected anc-is in disrepair. Slate is broken or missing in
various locations. Several water leaks are evident on the
third floor along the exterior walls.

D. l~~,C1gma 1__.__DU!_YUW"6 - v-v' 'c A YVWU 1G1~J (11l .evident
on the seconclfloor as a result of roof leaks, plumbing
leaks, or leaks from the Mechanical Room located in the
attic. The hidden wood gutters along the eaves are rotting
and allow rain water to flow down the exterior of the building.
As a result of this, the exterior walls of the building exhibit
evidence of a severe moisture penetration problem. The existing
gutters should be repaired and the exterior of the building
treated with a silicon waterproofing process.
3. Fire Safety
A. Central Building - The northwest wing of the first
floor presently douses a darkroom. It is equipped with a
revolving darkroom door and contains substances which would
produce toxic fumes in the event of a fire. Due to the re-
stricted egress from this area in the event of a fire, a fire
escape should be provided. The Agency has developed a con-
ceptual plan for the fire escape which would also improve
the safety characteristics of the existing fire escape from
the second floor.
B. Emergency Lighting - Numerous deficiencies exist
throughout tfe three bui!JTngs in regard to emergency lighting.
A survey should be conducted and new emergency lights in-
stalled as required.
C. Fire Detection - Several heat detectors throughout
the complex are in new of repair or replacement.
D. Emmer_ enc Generator -. The emergency generator serving
the complex is in disrepair. The generator was originally
designed and installed to start automatically in the event of
a power failure. During a recent power failure, the generator
failed to start and GSA had to be called. Due to the nature of
operations at the complex, the generator should have its auto-
matic.start capability restored.
4. Bathroom Renovations
A. Central Building - All bathrooms in Central Building,
with the exception oft e basement, are in desperate need of
renovations. Moisture penetration of the walls has caused the
plaster to spa.il and has destroyed suspended ceilings. Wood
partitions, in violation of health codes, can be found along
with loose and improperly anchored partitions. Exhaust fans
are lacking in several bathrooms. A condensate line from the
attic mechanical room presently drains into a bathroom slop
sink, and has caused flooding on occasion.

4. Bathroom Renovations (Cont'd.)
B. South Buildin - While South Building bathrooms are
not in the oracle condition that Central Building's
bathrooms are, they require work in regards to painting, new
fixtures and exhaust fans.
5. Site Improvements
A. East Building - The lack of handrails and lights on
the exterior steps oTEast,Building is a safety hazard,
especially during winter months and inclement weather.
B. Storm Drains - The majority of storm sewer catch
basins at tic complex are clogged with dirt and debris and
do not function as designed. As a result the paved areas of
the complex do. not drain properly. Existing catch basins need
to be thoroughly cleaned and additional new catch basins are
needed. A new downspout on Central Building is causing severe
erosion and needs to be tied directly into the storm sewer.
C. Water Main Leaks - Indications are that a water maim
leak behind Sou z Building that was thought to have been
thoroughly repaired is continuing to leak.
D. Perimeter Li Lighting - Numerous outdoor perimeter
lighting fixtures within the complex are defective and need
replacement.
6. Electrical
A. The electrical service provided to the three buildings
is presently adequate; however, there is little if any spare
capacity. -In view of future foreseen demands such as addi-
tional computer usage at the complex, additional electrical
capacity is needed in all three buildings. The priority being
as follows: South, Central, East.
B. 'Numerous electrical deficiencies, such as the grounding
of outlets as defined in the Health ~ Safety Report have not
yet been corrected.
