I am kind of leaning towards myself just for comfort for the appellant is that the d. B. I. Do a site visit. And that latch moving down an inch and a half is quite substantial. Theres 10, 12 notices of violation on this. We have written up going out there again is no point. There order of abatement and notice of violation.
