Hey there.
So we have an old home (1902) that is 3 stories.
We currently have a tenant in our ground floor apartment. She just
informed me that she is unable to get the hot water to come out of the
bathroom sink tap.
She could let it run and run and it will not get hot at the sink tap.
Her kitchen sink tap works fine.
Our kitchen sink tap works fine.
Our 3rd floor bathroom sink gets hot pretty quickly but
our 2nd floor bathroom sink tap has the same problem that out tenant
does...
Our 2nd floor bathroom sink hot water has NEVER gotten hot (unless I take
a shower in there beforehand) and we've just learned to live with it, since
our primary bathroom is on the 3rd floor...
Anyway, this is a new problem ( we think) for our ground floor bathroom
sink as our previous two tenants never mentioned it.

We have a tank (blech) water heater 80 gal on the ground level of the
house, so her bathroom is actually the closest to the source of hot water..

We can't figure this out.

Any ideas oh plumbing gifted folks out there? Thanks!

How long have you had the house? Have you had a chance to inspect the
little nooks and crannies? I ask because, I liv in an old house, and
after being there a while, we realized it had 2 separate hot water
heaters. A big gas one for the main part of the house and a small
electric one the runs a couple of bathrooms. I might not have noticed
so soon, (it was well hidden) but the gas was off one morning, and
there was still ample hot water in that part of the house.
