After a few minutes Lucia appeared, and we all went inside to the first floor bathroom, where the shower was not dispensing any water, they mentioned it was like that since they got to the Airbnb. Moreover, I took a look at the water heater which was installed in 2017 and the main valve which Lucia says the HOA is responsible for.

I recommend that the customer replace both the pop up drain and the p trap. Customer agreed. I used a wolverine brass Crome pop up drain. Also a 1 1/2” P trap
