(Checklist Condo Sample) 123 Main Street #127

Adequate heating capacity is provided by the system. This is a high efficiency heating system. An electronic air cleaner has been installed on this forced air system. This feature provides better air cleaning than conventional filters. The heating system is in generally good condition.

This part of the inspection covers the heating equipment, its distribution through ducts or radiators, venting and combustion air, and the thermostats and controls. The system is operated using its normal controls where conditions allow it to run safely.

• As described in the inspection contract, this is a visual inspection only. The inspection of the heating system is general and not technically exhaustive. A detailed evaluation of the furnace heat exchanger is beyond the scope of this inspection. The inspection was limited by (but not restricted to) the following conditions: While we do check for the presence of a heat source in habitable areas, the adequacy of heat level and heat distribution balance are not determined during a home inspection. (This work requires heat loss calculations and an extensive building survey that is normally performed when the initial heating capacity is selected.) The interiors of flues and chimneys are not inspected except where readily accessible. Furnace heat exchangers are not inspected though we may spot and call to your attention external signs indicating a concern. Unless explicitly stated in your report, electronic air filters, humidifiers, dehumidifiers and solar space heating equipment are not inspected/tested.
• The programmable thermostat was not tested.

The system shows no visible evidence of major defects. The capacity and configuration of the system should be sufficient for the home.

This part of the inspection covers the cooling equipment, its distribution and condensate handling, and any whole-house fan. The system is operated using its normal controls where the outdoor temperature is high enough to do so without risking damage to the equipment.

None recorded for this area.

The plumbing system is in generally good condition. The water pressure supplied to the fixtures is reasonably good. A typical drop in flow was experienced when two fixtures were operated simultaneously.

This part of the inspection covers the main water supply and shut-off, the visible supply, drain, waste and vent piping, the water heating equipment, fixtures, faucets and toilets, fuel storage and distribution, and any sump or ejector pump. Piping concealed within walls, floors or the ground is not examined.

• As described in the inspection contract, this is a visual inspection only. The inspection of the plumbing system was limited by (but not restricted to) the following conditions: Portions of the plumbing system concealed by finishes and/or storage (below sinks, etc.), below the structure, and beneath the yard were not inspected. Water supply quality and quantity are not tested. The effect of lead content in solder and/or supply lines is beyond the scope of the inspection. Unless specifically stated in your report, we do not determine whether water supply and waste disposal systems are public or private. Unless specifically noted in your report, we do not inspect the following: clothes washing connections, wells, pumps, or water storage related equipment, water conditioning systems, solar water heating systems, fire and lawn sprinkler systems. We do not operate safety valves or shut-off valves. We do not inspect the interior of flues or chimneys that are not readily accessible.
• The main water shutoff valve was identified but not operated, as turning valves is beyond the scope of this inspection and aged valves can leak or fail when disturbed. All occupants should know the valve location for use in an emergency.
• The temperature and pressure relief (TPR) valve was not operated during this inspection, as older valves frequently fail to reseat and leak after testing. Recommend having the valve tested periodically by a licensed plumbing contractor as part of routine water heater service.

All visible wiring within the home is copper. This is a good quality electrical conductor. All 3-prong outlets that were tested were appropriately grounded. Generally speaking, the electrical system is in good order. The size of the electrical service is sufficient for typical single family needs.

This part of the inspection covers the service entrance and equipment, the main and any sub panels, service grounding and bonding, visible branch wiring, a representative number of receptacles and switches, ground-fault and arc-fault protection, lighting and ceiling fans, and smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. Wiring concealed within finished walls and ceilings is not examined.

• Branch circuit wiring concealed within walls, ceilings, and floors could not be inspected; only visible portions and a representative sampling of devices were evaluated.
• As described in the inspection contract, this is a visual inspection only. The inspection does not include low voltage systems, telephone wiring, intercoms, alarm systems, TV cable, timers or smoke detectors. The inspection of the electrical system was limited by (but not restricted to) the following conditions: Electrical components concealed behind finished surfaces could not be inspected. Only a representative sample of outlets and light fixtures were tested. Furniture and/or storage restricted access to some electrical components. We do not inspect remote control devices unless such are the only control device for equipment. Alarm systems and components, low-voltage wiring systems and components, and ancillary wiring systems and components which are not part of the primary electrical power distribution system are not inspected unless they are explicitly named in your report. We do not measure amperage, voltage, impedance as part of a home inspection.

The windows have, for the most part, been maintained well. The kitchen cabinetry was of above average quality.

This part of the inspection covers the walls, ceilings and floors, interior doors, a representative number of windows opened and closed, stairs and railings, and countertops and cabinets. Furnishings and stored belongings are not moved, so surfaces behind them are not examined.

• The home was furnished at the time of inspection. Furniture, wall hangings, window coverings, and stored items concealed portions of the walls, floors, and windows, and those areas were not evaluated.
• As described in the inspection contract, this is a visual inspection only. Assessing the quality and condition of interior finishes is highly subjective. Issues such as cleanliness, cosmetic flaws, quality of materials, architectural appeal and color are outside the scope of this inspection. Comments will be general, except where functional concerns exist. No comment is offered on the extent of cosmetic repairs that may be needed after removal of existing wall coverings and furniture. The inspection of the interior was limited by (but not restricted to) the following conditions: Furniture, storage, appliances and/or wall coverings restricted the inspection of the interior. We do not inspect paint, wallpaper, and other finish treatments. We do not inspect carpeting (except to note tripping hazards), window treatments, central vacuuming systems, household appliances, or recreational facilities.

This is a convenience search, not a guarantee. Using the equipment names and model numbers recorded at the inspection, we searched the Consumer Product Safety Commission's public recall database on the date of this report. The products searched are listed below. Searches of this kind are sensitive to typographical errors, to how a manufacturer described its own product, and to whether the database could be reached at the time. A recall can exist even when a search returns nothing, and a result that appears may not apply to your equipment. Recalls are also issued continually, so a search made today says nothing about tomorrow. Your inspector offers these results in a best effort to inform you. Verify anything that matters — and check again over time — directly at https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls

The appliances were in generally good condition. The kitchen and laundry areas were well organized. All appliances tested responded satisfactorily.
