No city inspections for new homes?

By
Home Inspector with Inspector Mike #2116

Most Realtors and home buyers do not know that many areas of Ohio have NO inspections when building a new home. This means no one checks the builder to see if the home is built properly.

To find out if your area has inspections you can look at the list here: http://www.com.ohio.gov/dico/docs/bbst_ResBldgDeptMasterList.pdf

If not you may want to consider us to look at your new home. We are one of the few companies in Ohio quailified to perfrom these inspections.

Home Inspectors are not qualified to perform these inspections.

Protect your clients interests and yours.

Not all Realtors read active rain so pass this along if you would like to help a Realtor or home buyer that you know.

That's common around here too. Some towns require a type of inspection to ensure components are installed and working.

Wow that is very interseting, and frightening.  So how do these homes compare to homes that have city building inspections?

They do not meet the current state code(s).
