3) Exterior: - One or more hornet, bee and/or wasp nests were found. These can pose a safety hazard. Nest(s) should be removed as necessary.
4) Exterior: -
6) Roof: - Debris has accumulated in one or more gutters. This is a conducive condition for wood destroying insects since gutters may overflow and cause water to come in contact with the structure's exterior or make water accumulate around the foundation. Gutters should be cleaned now and as necessary in the future.
7) Garage: - The attic access hatch over the attached garage doesn't have a one-hour fire rating. Wall and ceiling surfaces in an attached garage should be fire rated for one hour to prevent or slow the spread of fire from the garage to interior living spaces. This hatch should be replaced with a material that has a one hour fire rating, such as 5/8 inch Type X sheetrock.
8) Garage: - One or more electric receptacles appear to have no power. Recommend asking the property owner(s) about this. Switches may need to be operated to make some receptacles energized. If necessary, a qualified electrician should evaluate and make repairs as necessary.
26) Heating and cooling: - Air handler filter(s) should be checked monthly in the future and replaced or washed as necessary.
30) Plumbing and laundry: - No check valve is visible on the sump pump's discharge pipe. While not every installation requires a check valve, they are recommended where the discharge pipe is long, the vertical discharge is more than seven or eight feet, or the sump pump has a small pit. Check valves prevent water in the discharge pipe from flowing back down into the sump pit after the pump shuts off. Recommend having a qualified contractor install a check valve.

36) Crawl space: - One or more crawl space vent screens are blocked by soil, debris, insulation, stored items or removable panels. This restricts ventilation in the crawl space and may result in increased levels of moisture inside. Materials or items blocking vents should be removed.
