This included things like installing transition pieces in the doorway between laminate and wood flooring "because the change in surface texture was a tripping hazard", replacing a concrete slab in the drive (Which the tenants do not use) because there were cracks, scraping and repainting minor cracked/peeling paint in the halls "because it was a health hazard", installing GFI outlets which the other landlord had never been cited for, and a number of other things that clearly had not just developed since the previous inspection.
