Exterior
2 - One or more flights of stairs with more than two risers have no handrail installed. This is a safety hazard. Install graspable handrails that a hand can completely encircle for support per standard building practices.
3 - Cracks, deterioration and/or damage were found in areas of the stucco siding. Evaluate and make repairs as necessary.
4 - One or more ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) electric receptacles did not trip when tested. This is a safety hazard due to the risk of shock. Evaluate and repair as necessary.
5 - Vegetation such as trees, shrubs and/or vines are in contact with or less than one foot from the structure's exterior. Vegetation can serve as a conduit for wood destroying insects and may retain moisture against the exterior after it rains. Vegetation should be pruned and/or removed as necessary to maintain a one foot clearance between it and the structure's exterior.

The inspector was unable to find a label or markings that indicated if these lights are designed to be in contact with insulation, and one or more lights are in contact with insulation. This is a possible fire hazard. Further evaluation should be performed to determine if these lights are rated for contact with insulation. If they aren't, or if their rating can't be determined, insulation should be moved, and wells or barriers should be installed or repaired as necessary to keep the insulation away from these lights.
18 - Cover plate(s) are missing from one or more electric boxes, such as for receptacles, switches and/or junction boxes. They are intended to contain fire and prevent electric shock from exposed wires. This is a safety hazard due to the risk of fire and shock. Cover plates should be installed where missing.
19 - No insulation is installed over the attic access hatches. Recommend installing insulation above hatch for better energy efficiency.
20 - Attic is in a good overall condition that displays adequate ventilation, proper insulation and adequate protection of all components routed through. It also displays a structural condition that is proper, secure and safe.

Interior rooms
58 - One or more smoke alarms are damaged, deteriorated and/or missing from their mounting brackets. Damaged and/or missing smoke alarms should be replaced as necessary so a functioning one exists in each hallway leading to bedrooms, and in each bedroom. For more information, visit:
http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/pubs/5077.html
59 - A carbon monoxide detector is required on every floor of your home, including the basement. A detector should be located within 10 feet of each bedroom door and there should be one near or over any attached garage. Each detector should be replaced every five to six years.

Proper placement of a carbon monoxide (CO) detector is important. If you are installing only one carbon monoxide detector, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recommends it be located near the sleeping area, where it can wake you if you are asleep. Additional detectors on every level and in every bedroom of a home provides extra protection against carbon monoxide poisoning.

Homeowners should remember not to install carbon monoxide detectors directly above or beside fuel-burning appliances, as appliances may emit a small amount of carbon monoxide upon start-up. A detector should not be placed within fifteen feet of heating or cooking appliances or in or near very humid areas such as bathrooms.
60 - Batteries in all the smoke alarms should be replaced after taking occupancy, and annually in the future. "Chirping" noises emitted from smoke alarms typically indicate that batteries need replacing. For more information, visit:
http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/pubs/5077.html
61 - Lock mechanisms on one or more windows does not pull the window panel close enough for the lock to engage. Repairs should be made so that windows lock and unlock easily.
62 - One or more doors will not latch when closed. Repairs should be made such as aligning strike plates with latch bolts and/or replacing locksets to have doors latch properly when closed.
63 - Carpeting in one or more rooms is damaged and/or significantly deteriorated. Recommend replacing carpeting where necessary.
64 - Carpeting in one or more rooms is soiled and/or stained. Recommend having carpeting professionally cleaned as necessary.
