Below is a summary of what occurred: Uninhabitable Room Condition: The bathtub drain in room 111 was completely clogged. After attempting to clear it using the in-room plunger for over an hour, the situation worsened. The bathroom floor was flooded with standing water, and black, foul-smelling sewage containing hair and toilet paper fragments bubbled up into the shower.
