Construction / Civil Engineering / Condition of a rental property (Angola)
Portuguese term or phrase: de apoio ao quintal
This is a list of needed repairs following inspection of a rental property in Angola. It's an office space that belongs to an international organization but it was rented out to another property. Since it's an office building, I'm assuming that "quintal" is 'rear courtyard'. Does "de apoio ao" mean that the fixtures are on the wall next to the courtyard?

More context (as written with typos):

a) Algumas portas e janela, ja em mau estado de conservação, das quais algumas deverão ser substitutídas e outras reparadas.
b) Diversas peças de mosaico da parte exterior do edfício nomeadamente quintal, casas de banhoe cozinhas estaladas.
c) Loiças das casas de banho **de apoio ao quintal** totalmente danificadas pelo mau uso que deverão para o efeito ser substituiídas.

Thanks, Sormane. This makes more sense in my context. I am using 'rear courtyard' because I think it's a mixed-use building with offices and residents.

Sanitary ware for bathrooms that serve the yard.
