6 Comments on Passing The Code Inspection Does Not Guarantee That Nothing Is Wrong
Steven - And that's the very reason ALL homes should be inspected by a qualified home inspector. Just one more trained pair of eyes.
Guru,
I cannot argue with that.
Steven: I am thinking that the difference in step heights that you mention can easily be enough to cause some people who have a hard time climbing or descending steps to make a miss-step... and fall. Not a good plan. Fall... is a "season"... not a way to go down the stairs... LOL.
Steven, I hate uneven steps! I also hate the doorsteps where the builder or bricker made them one brick wide. That's not big enough for a foot! But what do you recommend with these situations. They can't very easily be changed before a close takes place.
Barbara,
I point it out. In the case shown here, they could fit in a first step and divide the nearly ten inches by two. But when it is a concrete step, they pretty much have to live with it unless they want lots of expense.
Steve - I currently have a transaction in the works where the code inspectors now have egg on their face for signing off on the CO.
