Grounds
2)
- Fences were damaged or deteriorated in some areas. A qualified person should repair or replace sections as necessary.
Exterior / Foundation
4)
- Moisture stains on stucco (From not having gutters and landscaping)
Roof / Attic
6)
- Gutters were missing over one or more entrances. People entering and exiting the building are more likely to get wet during periods of rain because of this. Most buildings benefit from having a complete drainage system installed, but at a minimum, recommend installing gutters over entrances.
Garage / Carport
9)
- No venting or only minimal venting was found in the garage. This may result in poor indoor air quality or high temperatures inside. Recommend that a qualified person install vents as per standard building practices.
10)
- Damage to drywall in garage. Recommend repairs
Electric
14)
- One or more ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) electric receptacles wouldn't trip with test instrument at the following "wet" locations: bathroom(s). This is a safety hazard due to the risk of shock. A qualified electrician should evaluate and repair as necessary.
15)
- This property had one or more fuel burning appliances and/or an attached garage, and no carbon monoxide detectors were visible. This is a safety hazard. Recommend installing one or more carbon monoxide detectors as necessary and as per the manufacturer's instructions. For more information, visit http://www.cpsc.gov/CPSCPUB/PREREL/prhtml05/05017.html
16)
- Lighting was missing at one or more locations. A qualified person should install lighting as necessary, and as per standard building practices.
Water Heater
21)
- The water heater's seismic straps or struts were substandard. For example, they may allow significant movement or use improper fasteners. This is a potential safety hazard. Leaks may also occur in water supply pipes. A qualified person should evaluate and either repair existing straps or install new straps or struts as necessary and as per standard building practices.
22)
- Temperature-pressure relief valve drain line was too short. This is a potential safety hazard due to the risk of scalding if someone is standing next to the water heater when the valve opens. A qualified plumber should extend the drain line to 6 inches from the floor, or route it so as to drain outside.
Heating
23)
- The last service date of this system appeared to be more than one year ago, or the inspector was unable to determine the last service date. The client should ask the property owner when it was last serviced. If unable to determine the last service date, or if this system was serviced more than one year ago, a qualified heating and cooling contractor should inspect, clean, and service this system, and make repairs if necessary. For safety reasons, and because this system is fueled by gas or oil, this servicing should be performed annually in the future.
