So I got a leaky faucet and from what I have read online, the first thing I have to do is shut the water off. I looked under the sink (in the bathroom) and I see no way to turn off the water. I've looked at every other faucet in my condo and they ALL have a shut off! Just not the one in the bathroom. I've attached pictures (hopefully they work). Can someone give me an idea of how to shut the water off? I kind of don't want to call in a plumber for something that should be so simple to fix. Also, not sure if its relevant, but the water that's dripping out is all hot water, no cold. It's so hot its raising the temp of the bathroom now! I've tried searching for the hot water tank, but I think it is central hot water (if that makes sense) because I can't find one.

Here's one of the actual faucet:

Here's one of under the sink:

Here's a close up of where the faucet hose attaches to the condo hose:

Thanks a lot guys and happy new year!

I'm so sorry about the size of the pics... I had no idea they would turn out that large... I can't seem to find an edit button either
Sorry!

Hi Steve...

Any chance there is a kitchen sink on the back side of this sink? If so, then the shutoffs going to the kitchen sink may be acting as the shutoffs for this sink as well. Although not frequently done, I've seen it enough times that if there is a sink on the backside of this you should shut off the shutoffs and see if that works for this sink.

Otherwsie, you need to find the hot and cold water shutoffs into your unit.. they should be somewhere if you are lucky. Perhaps there is a maintenance guy that knows the layout better? Have you checked for shutoffs in the mechanical room?

Let me know more here...

You should have resized your pictures before posting them, I am not sure but the picture below shows like the lines are connected to some kind S/O valves try if you can close them turn it in (clockwise) if not then you have to close your Main S/O valve, Thanks and happy new year to you too.
