2004 Condo, 4-story 200 unit building
What’s this hole above the shower?
I couldn’t find anything on this forum. A possible answer was found on another forum stating condensate drain but it seems like a weird spot for a condensate drain. It is adjacent to the air handler for electric furnace and A/C.
That would be my best guess. Just about everyone getting ready to take a shower is going to think that there is a camera in it though.
Were you able to find a different location for the condensate drain? I agree, odd location in my opinion.
It’s the secondary condensate drain. I suspect the evaporator coil & air handler are in the ceiling behind a metal cover somewhere close. Did you find the evaporator coil?
I see it quite often in condos built in the 70’s & 80’s & condos with another unit above (no attic space).
Edit: autocorrect typo.
Without seeing more, I think you nailed it, David. lol
Negative.
Yes, the evaporator coil is housed in the laundry/utility room directly behind this bathroom. Thanks for the feedback 
overflow drain
primary was required to go outside even back then
Air handler secondary drain (pan drain). It’s installed in a “conspicuous location”.
Yes sir
See them many times thru the years. Secondary overflow
Grab yourself some Doritos and stick your finger in the hole to see what happens.
Yes, my bad. I did mean secondary condensate drain installed in a conspicuous or easily noticed location.
Damn, wouldn’t that be annoying if it was the primary?!
That was my thought at first but it’d be a great way to conserve H20 
Guessing like condos are stacked so there’s a tub or shower directly above? It leaked and handyman didn’t want to repair the drywall so he threw in something that looks like it serves a purpose? And, it’s worked flawlessly for years until the damn home inspector came along!
