The contractor—just one of a handful visiting the building that week—toured the top floor apartment, where Vigil lives with her grandchildren, and the two one-bedroom units she rents out on the second floor. He took a close look at the kitchens, the furnaces and the electrical paneling and used a drone to get a good view of the roof.
