The following items are excluded from this inspection: Security system
1) This property has one or more fuel burning appliances, and the required amount of carbon monoxide alarms are not visible. This is a potential safety hazard. As of 2009 State law requires that a carbon monoxide alarm be installed within 15 feet of each sleeping room in a dwelling. Attached garages and mechanical rooms could also be equipped with a CO detector as well.(or in a location as specified in any building code adopted by the state or any local government entity). Recommend further evaluation and compliance with these safety components, regulations and requirements.

Roof type: Cross gable
Roof covering: Wood shakes
Estimated age of roof: 6 years
Gutter & downspout material: None

6) Some wood shakes are slightly damaged and/or deteriorated. Over time, wood shakes typically curl, split, rot at the ends, "burn through", and/or become loose. Such failures typically result in exposed felt and/or possibly leaks. A qualified roofing contractor could evaluate and replace shakes as necessary and should clean the wood shake roof as necessary, and apply a preservative soon and every three to five years in the future.
