When this case was first tried before a Master, the Master found that the fair and reasonable value of labor and materials to properly install the bathroom vents was $78.65 for the 58 units that were affected, for a total of $4,561.00. The damages were limited to 58 units because the expert had only visited that number of units out of the 62 units. The Trustees’ expert testified that the repair of the improper bathroom ventilation would involve the cost of removing the flooring, refinishing the floor and the walls. The costs would vary between the B units and the C units. The B units’ chases would have to be built, as the B-l units sit below the B-2 units. In order to vent the bathrooms to the outside in C units, chases would have to be built, as the bathrooms in the first floor are interior bathrooms currently vented into the ceilings and the bathroom hose will need to run through the second finished floor of the unit.
