Inspection approach for New York City
New York City properties range from apartments and rowhouses to detached homes and multi-family buildings. Inspection access and responsibilities can differ substantially between a fee-simple house, condominium and cooperative apartment.
Dense urban construction, older building systems and repeated renovations make careful visual evaluation and clear reporting especially valuable before closing.
What we pay close attention to
- Accessible roofing and exterior components.
- Electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling systems.
- Interior moisture and ventilation observations.
- Windows, doors, stairs and visible safety items.
- Appliances and built-in components included in the scope.
- Clear documentation of access limitations and excluded common building systems.
