- Chimney missing some mortar between bricks. Although this is not a structural issue it should be monitored and eventually repaired by a qualified mason.
- Trees are overhanging roof and are within 10 feet of roof vertically. Recommend pruning trees so they're at least 10 feet above roof, or don't overhang the roof.
- Soil is in contact with or less than 6" from siding and/or trim. Recommend grading soil so there's at least 6" of space between the siding and trim and the soil below.
- Wood trim shows signs of deterioration, requires repair and repainting.
- Recommend patching asphalt driveway where necessary and resealing.
- Some deterioration of surface. This is not a structural concern and can be cleaned and resurfaced inexpensively.
- Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) breaker(s) in the main service panel wouldn't trip when tested. Recommend having a qualified, licensed electrician evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
- Recommend installing a wall mounted handrail
- No ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) devices (outlets or circuit breakers) are visible for the kitchen. GFCI devices help prevent electric shocks in areas that may have water present. Recommend having a qualified, licensed electrician install GFCI protection for outlets, over counter tops and around sinks.
- Examination of heating and cooling systems is mechanically limited since the units are not dismantled to examine interior components. The heating and cooling systems should be inspected and serviced on an annual basis. Before close of escrow, recommend obtaining from seller any documents concerning regular maintenance and service and/or a safety check by public utility, or a complete system evaluation by a qualified heating and cooling specialist, particularly if heating and cooling cannot be proven to have been inspected within the past twelve months. Utility companies typically, but not always, provide a free safety check of all gas-using appliances
- Moisture penetration most likely seasonal. Recommend installing a window well to properly divert water away from window.
