1)  Fungal rot or significant water damage was found at one or more roof areas at fascia boards and/or trim. Recommend that a qualified contractor repair as necessary. For example, by replacing all rotten wood, priming and painting new wood and installing flashing.

10)  The hot water temperature was significantly lower than the standard temperature range of 110-120 degrees Fahrenheit. The thermostat should be adjusted to a higher setting. If the water temperature doesn't reach 120 degrees, then recommend that a qualified plumber evaluate and repair or replace the water heater as necessary.

12)  An exterior power disconnect for the heat pump or air conditioning condensing unit was not found, or it was not in sight of the unit. A power disconnect should be installed within view and less than 50 feet from the unit to prevent it from responding to the thermostat during maintenance or while off-season. Recommend that a qualified electrician or HVAC contractor install a disconnect per standard building practices.

13)  The estimated useful life for most heat pumps and air conditioning condensing units is 10-15 years. This unit appeared to be beyond this age and/or its useful lifespan and may need replacing or significant repairs at any time. Recommend budgeting for a replacement in the near future.

16)  The range could tip forward. An anti-tip bracket may not be installed. This is a potential safety hazard since the range can tip forward when weight is applied to the open door, such as when a small child climbs on it or if heavy objects are dropped on it. Anti-tip brackets have been sold with all free-standing ranges since 1985. Recommend installing an anti-tip bracket to eliminate this safety hazard. For more information, visit:

17)  One or more cabinets, drawers and/or cabinet doors were loose. Recommend that a qualified person repair or replace as necessary.

Needs adjustment

19)  Guardrails at one or more locations with drop-offs higher than 30 inches had gaps that were too large. This poses a safety hazard for children (e.g. falling, getting stuck in railing). Guardrails should not have gaps or voids that allow passage of a sphere equal to or greater than 4 inches in diameter, or 6 inches in diameter at triangular spaces between stair edges and guardrails. At a minimum, the client should be aware of this hazard. Recommend that a qualified contractor repair or replace guardrails per standard building practices.

20)  One or more handrails had no returns installed, where ends of handrails turn and connect to adjacent walls so objects or clothing will not catch on the open ends. This is a safety hazard. Recommend that a qualified person install returns per standard building practices.
