Question :

How do you define “not functioning”?

Response

The phrase "not functioning" means not performing one or more reasonably expected capabilities, in the inspector's professional opinion. The phrase is not defined more precisely because all the possible capabilities that might apply and their various scenarios are too numerous to list. However, purely decorative or aesthetic functions are not considered per section 13.2.F.3.
