Notallimprovementswillbeidentifiedduringthisinspection. Unexpected repairs should still be anticipated. The inspection should not be considered a guarantee or warranty of any kind. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ACCEPTABLE: At the time of the inspection the system or component is; 1) performing its intended function 2) not in need of MAJOR CONCERNS / SAFETY HAZARDS 3) not in need of REPAIRS 4) not in need of being MONITORED (for any specific reason) 5) not in need of MAINTENANCE / IMPROVEMENTS. However, an acceptable system or component may show signs of normal wear and tear and aging. Most systems and components in properties wear out over time. ACCEPTABLE SHOULD NOT BE CONFUSED WITH "PERFECT". __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 - MAJOR REPAIRS / SAFETY HAZARDS: 1) The system or component is not performing its intended function. and/or 2) The system or component is a safety hazard to the occupants of the property. and/or 3) The system or component has a high probability of incurring substantial expense to repair or replace now or in the near future. MAJOR REPAIRS / SAFETY HAZARDS should be evaluated by qualified contractors before closing. It is our intention that MAJOR REPAIRS / SAFETY HAZARDS be thoughtfully considered BEFORE CLOSING. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 - GENERAL REPAIRS: The system or component needs corrective action at the time of the inspection to assure proper and reliable function. Items listed as GENERAL REPAIRS should be evaluated by qualified contractors. If left unattended GENERAL REPAIRS can become MAJOR REPAIRS / SAFETY HAZARDS REPAIRS could be remedied either before or after closing. This will be your decision to make. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 3 - ITEMS TO MONITOR 1) The system or component is showing some signs of past and/or possibly present defects but we are not able to exactly determine if the defects are active or inactive and, therefore, if repair or replacement may be necessary now or in the near future or not at all. (For example - a water stain on a ceiling that is dry at the time of the inspection may just be evidence of an old leak that was repaired. We can not know for sure, therefore we recommend monitoring the stain.) 2) The system or component is nearing the end of its expected useful life and/or shows signs of wear and tear that indicate that the system or component could need repairs or replacement soon. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 4 - MAINTENANCE / IMPROVEMENTS: We use this category to identify systems or components which are in need of routine maintenance for a property of this age. Periodic maintenance and servicing is necessary in all properties to insure continued proper operation of the systems or components. In most cases improvements are given on items that are older and now newer and safer methods and standards exist. Improvements are not required but are recommended and should be considered and budgeted for. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 5 - GENERAL COMMENTS / LIMITATIONS We use this category to make all kinds of general comments about the property. These can range from helpful suggestions to interesting observations to specific limitations about the inspection.
