Dear Ms. Pfahl:
I am indeed grateful to you for your will-
ingness to discuss so fully with me the significance
of your letter of November 10, 1988, addressed to
our manager here at E1 Cortijo Condominium.
Since your testing on November 9, 1988, as
to the presence of carbon monoxide, the E1 Cortijo
Board of Directors met on November 12, 1988, and
considered your report. The minutes of the Board
meeting state as follows:
"Mr. Trail reported that a representa-
tive of the Environmental Section visited
E1 Cortijo on Wednesday, November 9, 1988,
at approximately 10:45 a.m. and made pollu-
tion tests in the garage, lobby and apart-
ment areas. The representative reported
that there was not a problem in any area
and would submit a written report to the
manager. The representative commented that
one person smoking a cigarette in the
manager's office would cause more air pol-
lution than found in the E1 Cortijo garage."
Your letter of November 10, 1988, makes it
very clear that you made no finding or determination
that there was no problem of pollution in any area
of the garage or building. You have confirmed this
in our discussion.
Ms. Sylvia Pfahl
December 8, 1988

As requested, you tested only for carbon
monoxide levels and the levels at that particular
time of the day. You explained that the Department
does not have testing equipment for other pollutants
that may cause and exacerbate respiratory diseases.
It is my understanding that shutting out
the normal flow of fresh air from the four large
(approximately 8' x 61) window -well openings directly
across the garage from the large exhaust fans (as
purposely designed) measurably increases pollution
particularly in the center of the garage where the
well openings and fans are located and may at times
under certain conditions cause an increase in op llu-
tion to unacceptable levels.
It is also my understanding from our dis-
cussions that your letter of November 10, 1988, is
not to be interpreted as the Department condoning
or approving the shut -off and closing of the large
8' x 6' window -well fresh -air openings for extended
periods as was the case this summer and fall. The
metal covers are easily removed after a hurricane
emergency.
I would hope that the Department of Health
could see its way clear to encourage the Board of
Directors to resolve all doubts as to levels of
pollution in favor of maximizing the flow of fresh
air into the garage in the interest of the health
of the residents and the employees.
The manager's office is in the garage area,
and it is regularly used'for Board and other meet-
ings. I have chronic bronchitis (as do others in
the building), and my doctor and I are greatly con-
cerned about the pollution and its effect on my
attendance at two or three -hour meetings in the
manager's office.
This summer and fall since the fresh air
garage openings have been closed, Mrs. Barlow and I
have noticed for the first time an increase in
garage fumes and smells coming up the elevator

shaft to the elevator opening directly into our
apartment's foyer. We are on the second floor in
the middle tower directly above the center area of
the garage where the four large window -well openings
have been closed and covered.
Thank you very much for your consideration
of our problem. 2 am hopeful that the Department
can be helpful in its solution.
Sincerely,
pw
