The cabinet deficiency is assessed in which manner?

• A. Per room
• B. For the entire property
• C. Per cabinet
• D. Per floor

Answer: (A)

Cabinet deficiencies are evaluated per room. This means you inspect and record issues with cabinets within the context of the room they’re in—kitchen, bathroom, laundry, etc.—and note problems like doors not closing properly, warped panels, loose hinges, moisture damage, or deterioration that affects that room’s use. Assessing per room ensures you capture how the cabinets affect safety, utility, and habitability in each specific space, rather than averaging conditions across the whole property. If you tried to assess by cabinet, you’d miss how a problem in one room contrasts with another, and assessing by floor or the entire property could blur or overlook localized deficiencies.
