Dangerous structures like greenhouses will be removed and uneven and dangerous paths will be repaired. Overgrown gardens will be cut back and damaged washing lines will be removed (but not replaced). Where boundary fences and walls joining a public highway or communal area are managed by Housing Management Services, they will be repaired to ensure the property is secure. Drains and gullies will be in good condition and the roofs, walls and down-pipes will be sound and keep the property water-tight. (It is not always possible to test these so if you have any leaks or notice faults when you move in please report them to the Housing Service Centre 020 7364 5015).
