Under contract on our first potential property and just got the inspection report back. I feel totally overwhelmed by the list of 100+ things. Which of these would you expect seller repair credits on? Which of the problems are most pressing? Anything here you would say is a dealbreaker? Would love any and all thoughts. Long post warning! Appreciate your help!

General

1) Structures built prior to 1979 may contain lead-based paint and/or asbestos in various building materials such as paint, insulation, siding, and/or floor and ceiling tiles. Both lead and asbestos are known health hazards. Evaluating for the presence of lead and/or asbestos is not included in this inspection. The client(s) should consult with specialists as necessary, such as industrial hygienists, professional labs and/or abatement contractors for this type of evaluation.

2) Many areas and items at this property were obscured by furniture, stored items and/or debris.

3) The gas service for the range in the ADU was turned off. As a result, range/oven and/or gas supply lines weren't fully evaluated. The inspector was unable to test for gas leaks.

Exterior

4)One or more trip hazards were found in sidewalk and/or patio sections due to cracks, settlement and/or heaving. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace sidewalk and/or patio sections as necessary to eliminate trip hazards.

5)Main entry handrail is too low. The height of handrails shall be not less than 30 inches (76 cm) from the upper surface of the handrail to the
surface of the tread, in line with the face of the riser at the forward edge of the tread. This is a safety hazard. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair as necessary.

6)Guardrail is missing from one or more sections of elevated surfaces with high drop-offs. This is a safety hazard due to the risk of falling.
Standard building practices require guardrails to be installed at drop-offs higher than 30 inches, but in some cases it is advised to install them at shorter drop-offs. A qualified contractor should evaluate and install guardrails as necessary and as per standard building practices.

7)One or more outdoor electric receptacles appear to have no ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection. This is a safety hazard due to the
risk of shock. A qualified electrician should evaluate to determine if GFCI protection exists, and if not, repairs should be made so that all outdoor
receptacles within six feet six inches of ground level have GFCI protection. For example, install GFCI receptacles or circuit breaker(s) as needed.

8)One or more sections of wiring that weren't terminated were found. This is a potential safety hazard due to the risk of shock. A qualified
electrician should evaluate and repair as necessary. For example, cutting the wire to length and terminating the wire with wire nuts in a securely anchored, covered, properly sized junction box.

9) It appears that PVC pipes are being used as electrical conduit and non metallic wiring is being routed inside. This is non standard. Also conduit
is damaged and wires are exposed at one or more areas. This is a safety hazard due to the risk of shock and fire. A qualified electrician should evaluate and make repairs as necessary.

10) Non-metallic sheathed wiring is routed into main electrical panel and is exposed. This is non standard installation and is a risk of shock and
fire. Also the wiring is vulnerable to weather and could fail over time and is showing signs of deterioration due to exposure. Recommend a qualified
electrician to evaluate and make repairs as necessary per current building standards.

11) It appears that one or more gas supply pipes are inadequately supported. These supports can fail and put stress on the pipes and joints and
could be damaged due to movement/contact that could potentially cause leaks. A qualified contractor should evaluate and make permanent repairs as necessary, and as per standard building practices.

12) Backdoor stairs with more than two risers have no handrail installed. This is a safety hazard. A qualified contractor should install graspable
handrails that your hand can completely encircle at stairs where missing, and as per standard building practices.

13) 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.

14) The driveway has significant cracks and/or deterioration in one or more areas. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace
driveway sections as necessary.

15) Crawl space entry vent screen is non standard and gaps exist as as result. Animals such as vermin or pets may enter the crawl space and nest,
die and/or leave feces and urine. A qualified contractor should install screen using screen material such as "hardware cloth" with 1/4 inch minimum gaps.

16) Minor cracks and/or deterioration were found in one or more perimeter walls. The client(s) should monitor such walls in the future for continued
deterioration (cracking, leaning, bowing, etc.). Repairs and/or replacement by a qualified contractor may be necessary in the future.

17) One or more gutters are missing and/or not installed. This can result in water accumulating around the structure's foundation or in crawl space.
Accumulated water is a conducive condition to wood destroying insects and organisms, and may also cause the foundation to settle and possibly fail over time. A qualified contractor should install gutters and downspouts where missing. Also, extensions such as splash blocks should be installed as necessary to carry rain water away from the house.

18) One or more crawl space vent screens are damaged and/or deteriorated. Animals such as vermin or pets may enter the crawl space and nest, die
and/or leave feces and urine. A qualified contractor should replace damaged or deteriorated screens where necessary using screen material such as
"hardware cloth" with 1/4 inch minimum gaps.

19) Gaps exist at one or more openings around the exterior. All gaps should be sealed as necessary to prevent moisture intrusion and entry by vermin.

20) One or more soffit vent screens are missing and/or deteriorated. Birds and vermin may enter the attic because of this. Screens should be replace or repaired where necessary, or installed where missing.

21) Soffit vent screens are not installed at one or more areas. This can reduce air flow through the attic, reduce the life of the roof surface because of
high temperatures, and/or increase the moisture content in the attic. Repairs should be made as necessary, such as installing vent screens.

22) 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.

23) Exterior Limitations: Unless specifically included in the inspection, the following items and any related equipment, controls, electric systems and/or plumbing systems are excluded from this inspection: detached buildings or structures; fences and gates; retaining walls; underground drainage systems, catch basins or concealed sump pumps; swimming pools and related safety equipment, spas, hot tubs or saunas; whether deck, balcony and/or stair membranes are watertight; trees, landscaping, properties of soil, soil stability, erosion and erosion control; ponds, water features, irrigation or yard sprinkler systems; sport courts, playground, recreation or leisure equipment; areas below the exterior structures with less than 3 feet of vertical clearance; invisible fencing; sea walls, docks and boathouses; retractable awnings. Any comments made regarding these items are as a courtesy only

24) One or more light fixtures have missing and/or damaged bulbs and could not be fully evaluated. Bulbs may simply need to be installed, or repairs or replacement may be necessary.

Roof
25) The roof structure below the surface is "skip sheathed" where batten boards rather than sheets of plywood support the roof surface. Installing a
composition fiberglass or asphalt roof in the future will require the additional expense of installing sheathing, such as plywood or oriented strand board (OSB) over the batten boards.

26) One or more flashings for roof penetrations are installed in a substandard way. Flashing that rely on sealant alone to prevent moisture intrusion
are improper installations. Leaks may occur as a result. A qualified roofing contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
27) One or more composition shingles are damaged, deteriorated and/or missing, and should be replaced. Leaks may occur as a result. A qualified
roofing contractor should evaluate and make repairs as necessary.

28) Roofing staples in one or more areas have loosened or backed out. Leaks may occur as a result. A qualified roofing contractor should evaluate
and make repairs as necessary.

29) Sealant around one or more vent pipes and flashing is damaged and/or deteriorated. These may result in leaks. A qualified roofing contractor
should evaluate and repair as necessary.

30) Flashing is missing at one or more roof penetrations. These may result in leaks. A qualified roofing contractor should evaluate and repair as
necessary.

31) Flashing is raised and/or not securely fastened so that water intrusion may occur. A qualified roofer should make repairs as necessary, such as
permanently fastening down the lifted edge(s), or reinstalling flashings.

32) Trees and/or shrubs are in contact with or are close to the roof edge(s) in one or more areas. Damage to the roof may result, especially during high winds. Vegetation can also act as a conduit for wood destroying insects. Vegetation should be pruned back and/or removed as necessary to prevent damage and infestation by wood destroying insects.

Attic
34) Evidence of "heavy" rodent infestation was found in one or more areas. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) defines this as more than 20
feces per square foot. Rodent infestation may be a safety hazard due to the risk of contracting Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS). HPS is a rare (only 20-50 cases per year in the United states) but deadly (40% mortality rate) disease transmitted by infected rodents through urine, droppings, or saliva. Humans can contract the disease when they breathe in aerosolized virus. For example, from sweeping up rodent droppings.
Because this infestation is "heavy", recommend that the clients consult with a qualified pest control operator for extermination services. Also recommend consulting with a qualified, licensed abatement contractor or industrial hygienist for clean up of rodent waste and nesting materials.

35) Inspector identified what appears to be abandoned asbestos vent pipes. However, it appears to be intact and not significantly deteriorated.
The client(s) my wish to have this material tested at a qualified lab.

36) One or more ceiling joists are improperly installed. For example, they are installed horizontally rather than vertical. This installation does not
support the weight of the drywall and sagging and/or ceiling collapsing could occur. Client is advised to have a qualified contractor evaluate and make repairs per building safety standards.

37) 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.

38) The attic exhaust fan was inoperable during the inspection. Recommend consulting with the property owner(s) as to how it operates and/or
having a qualified contractor evaluate and repair if necessary.

39) One or more areas of the roof structure were wet or had elevated levels of moisture at the time of the inspection. There appears to be an active
leak. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair as necessary.

Garage
41) The vehicle door isn't balanced. The door won't stay in place when it's partially opened and falls to the ground instead. This is a safety hazard
since the door may fall when open. A qualified contractor should evaluate and make repairs as necessary.

42) 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.

43) The garage vehicle door is damaged or deteriorated. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace the door as necessary.

Electric Service
44) The main service panel cover hinges are loose and/or not installed properly. Recommend a qualified electrical contractor evaluate and make
repairs as necessary per current building standards.

45) There was a 100 amp main electric disconnect installed in the electrical panel. 100 amps of service may be inadequate. With today's modern
demands, combined with an ADU, there are potential limitations with a "lower capacity" service. Client(s) may want to consider contacting a qualified
electrician to evaluate and make improvements as needed.

Water Heater
46) The water exhaust vent pipe terminates under the roof line. This is non-standard installation. A qualified plumbing contractor should evaluate
and make repairs as necessary per current building standards.

47) The water heater's seismic straps are substandard. For example, they may allow significant movement, are not installed properly and/or use
improper straps and/or fasteners. This is a potential safety hazard since movement can cause leaks in the gas supply lines or damage wiring. Leaks may also occur in water supply pipes. A qualified contractor should evaluate and either repair existing straps or install new straps as necessary and as per standard building practices.

48) No drain line is installed for the temperature-pressure relief valve. This is a potential safety hazard due to the risk of scalding if someone is
standing next to the water heater when the valve opens. A qualified plumber should install a drain line as per standard building practices. For example, extending to 6 inches from the floor, or routed so as to drain outside.

49) The hot water temperature is greater than 120 degrees Fahrenheit. This is a safety hazard due to the risk of scalding. The thermostat should be
adjusted so the water temperature doesn't exceed 120 degrees.

50) No sediment trap is installed on the water heater gas supply line. Sediment traps are intended to trap oil, scale, water condensation and/or debris from the gas supply lines before they reach and damage the water heater components. A qualified contractor should install a sediment trap as per standard building practices.

Plumbing and Laundry
56) Waste pipe cleanout cap is damaged. This is a safety hazard because sewer gases may vent into the structure. A qualified plumber should
evaluate and make repairs as necessary.

57) The vertical laundry drain pipe was damaged by being cut off and terminates inside the kitchen. A qualified contractor should evaluate and
make repairs as per standard building practices.

58) The clothes dryer is equipped with a vinyl or foil, accordion-type, flexible exhaust duct. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
considers these types of ducts to be unsafe, and a fire hazard. These types of ducts can trap lint and are susceptible to kinks or crushing, which can greatly reduce the air flow. This duct should be replaced with a rigid or corrugated semi-rigid metal duct, and by a qualified contractor if necessary. Most clothes dryer manufacturers specify the use of a rigid or corrugated semi-rigid metal duct.

59) It appears that a proper drain line for washing machine is missing and/or is non standard. For example, there is a garden hose being utilized for
drain line which appears to be undersized and not routed and/or connected to a laundry plumbing drain line. This is non standard installation. A qualified contractor should evaluate and make repairs as necessary.

60) The water supply pressure appears to be greater than 80 psi. Pressures above 80 psi may void warranties for some appliances such as water
heaters or washing machines. Flexible supply lines to washing machines are more likely to burst with higher pressures. Typically the pressure cannot be regulated at the water meter. Recommend having a qualified plumber evaluate and make modifications to reduce the pressure below 80 psi and/or replace regulator if needed. NOTE: Inspector was unable to test water pressure at washing machine due to the machine being connected and in use. Also, it is beyond the inspectors International Standards Of Practice to disconnect any water supply connections. Recommend a qualified plumber check the pressure at the washing machine water supply to determine accurate water pressure.

61) Some of the water supply pipes in this structure appear to be made of galvanized steel. Their useful life is estimated to be 40 to 60 years. These
types of pipes can clog or fail at any time. Budget for unexpected repairs in any building with this type of older original plumbing. Client(s) may consider a qualified plumber to evaluate and replace supply pipes and fittings as necessary.

62) The clothes washer had clothing in it and was not operated during this inspection. The inspector was unable to fully evaluate the washer and its
drain line.

Crawl space
64) One or more beam/joists supports are installed in a substandard way, are not securely attached and/or do not utilize current building
materials. This installation does not provide proper support for the beams and joists above. In extreme circumstances such as during a seismic event, floors may collapse. A qualified contractor should evaluate and make repairs as necessary, as per California building and safety standards.

65) Inspector noticed what appears to be evidence of fungal growth such as mildew, mold, etc. was found. The clients should consult with a
qualified Mold contractor for evaluation and removal if necessary. Fungal spores such as mold have been known to cause respiratory illnesses especially in those with respiratory allergies and can pose a risk to health.

66) No insulation is installed under the floor in the crawl space. Recommend that a qualified contractor install R19 or better (6" thick fiberglass batt)
insulation under the floor for better energy efficiency.

67) Evidence of water intrusion was found in most sections of the crawl space. For example, damp soil. Accumulated water is a conducive
condition for wood destroying insects and organisms and should not be present in the crawl space. The client(s) should review any disclosure statements available and ask the property owner(s) about past accumulation of water in the crawl space. The crawl space should be monitored in the future for accumulated water, especially after heavy and/or prolonged periods of rain. If water is found to accumulate, a qualified contractor who specializes in drainage issues should evaluate and repair as necessary.

68) One or more moderate cracks (1/8 inch to 3/4 inch) were found in the foundation. These may be a structural concern, or an indication that
settlement is ongoing. The client(s) should consider hiring qualified contractors and/or engineers as necessary for further evaluation.

69) One or more areas of the floor structure were wet or had elevated levels of moisture at the time of the inspection. There appears to be an active
leak. Sub flooring appears damaged and may need repairs or replacement. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair as necessary.

Kitchen
70) Inspector noticed what appears to be evidence of fungal growth such as mildew, mold, etc. was found. The clients should consult with a
qualified Mold contractor for evaluation and removal if necessary. Fungal spores such as mold have been known to cause respiratory illnesses especially in those with respiratory allergies and can pose a risk to health.

71) One or more electric receptacles have reverse-polarity wiring, where the hot and neutral wires are reversed. This is a safety hazard due to
the risk of shock. A qualified electrician should evaluate and make repairs as necessary.

72) One or more electric receptacles that appear to have no ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection. This is a safety hazard due to the
risk of shock. A qualified electrician should evaluate to determine if GFCI protection exists, and if not, repairs should be made so that all receptacles have GFCI protection. For example, install GFCI receptacles or circuit breaker(s) as needed.

73) The range can tip forward, and no anti-tip bracket appears to be installed. This is a safety hazard since the range may 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. An anti-tip bracket should be installed to eliminate this safety hazard.

74) One or more stove top burners are inoperable. A qualified appliance technician should evaluate and repair as necessary.

75) The under-sink food disposal is inoperable. A qualified plumber or contractor should evaluate and repair or replace the food disposal as
necessary.

76) One or more light fixtures are damaged and/or deteriorated. A qualified electrician should evaluate and repair or replace light fixtures where
necessary.

77) One or more drain/waste lines appear to have a negative slope. Drain pipes should be sloped a minimum of 1/4-inch per foot and a maximum of
three inches per foot or vertical. A slope of less than 1/4-inch per foot will cause constant drain clogs and a slope of more than three inches will allow the water to drain without the solids. Recommend a qualified plumber to evaluate and make repairs as necessary.

78) Tile and/or grout flooring is cracked, damaged and/or deteriorated in one or more areas. A qualified contractor should evaluate and make repairs
as necessary.

79) Range hood electrical connection is located under hood. This in non standard. Evaluation and repairs should be made by a qualified contractor
as necessary.

80) The range hood fan vents into the kitchen rather than outdoors. Ventilation may be inadequate and moisture may accumulate indoors. Recommend

having a qualified contractor make modifications as necessary as per standard building practices so the range hood fan vents outdoors.
81) One or more light fixtures appear to be inoperable. Recommend further evaluation by simply replacing bulb(s) and/or consulting with the property owner(s). Repairs or replacement of the light fixture(s) by a qualified electrician may be necessary.

Bathrooms
82) Inspector noticed what appears to be evidence of fungal growth such as mildew, mold, etc. was found. The clients should consult with a
qualified Mold contractor for evaluation and removal if necessary. Fungal spores such as mold have been known to cause respiratory illnesses especially in hose with respiratory allergies and can pose a risk to health.

83) One or more open ground, three-pronged grounding type receptacles were found. This is a safety hazard due to the risk of shock. A qualified
electrician should evaluate and make repairs as necessary. Grounding type receptacles were first required in residential structures during the 1960s. Based on the age of this structure and/or the absence of 2-pronged receptacles, repairs should be made by correcting wiring circuits as necessary so all receptacles are grounded as per standard building practices. Replacement of three-pronged receptacles with 2-pronged receptacles is not an acceptable solution.

84) Inspector identified uneven tiles with sharp edges around the shower drain. This is a safety hazard. Recommend a qualified contractor
evaluate and make repairs as needed.

85) 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.

86) Inspector was unable to locate switch for the vent fan. Client(s) may want to consult homeowner(s) about this. Moisture may accumulate as a
result. A qualified contractor should evaluate and make repairs as necessary.

87) One or more toilets are loose. A qualified contractor should remove the toilet(s) for further evaluation and repairs if necessary. A new wax ring
should be installed and toilet(s) should be securely anchored to the floor to prevent movement and leaking.

88) One or more sink drains use flexible drain pipe. This type of drain pipe is more likely to clog than smooth wall pipe. Recommend having a qualified
plumber replace this pipe with standard plumbing components (smooth wall pipe) to prevent clogged drains.
89) One or more sink stopper mechanisms need adjustment or repair. Stopper mechanisms should be made to open and close easily.

Interior Rooms
90) One or more electric receptacles and/or the boxes are installed and appear to be loose and/or not securely anchored. Wire conductors may be damaged due to repeated movement and/or tension on wires, or insulation may be damaged. This is a safety hazard due to the risk of shock and fire. A qualified electrician should evaluate and repair as necessary.

91) One or more open ground, three-pronged grounding type receptacles were found. This is a safety hazard due to the risk of shock. A qualified electrician should evaluate and make repairs as necessary. Grounding type receptacles were first required in residential structures during the 1960s. Based on the age of this structure and/or the absence of 2-pronged receptacles, repairs should be made by correcting wiring circuits as necessary so all receptacles are grounded as per standard building practices. Replacement of three-pronged receptacles with 2-pronged receptacles is not an acceptable solution.

92) One or more electric receptacles have burn or scorch marks on them. Receptacle(s) and/or wiring to them may be damaged. This is a risk of fire and shock. A qualified electrician should evaluate and make repairs as necessary, such as replacing damaged receptacles and/or wiring.

93) One or more electric receptacles have reverse-polarity wiring, where the hot and neutral wires are reversed. This is a safety hazard due to the risk of shock. A qualified electrician should evaluate and make repairs as necessary.

94) Flooring is missing in one or more areas. This is a trip hazard. Recommend having a qualified contractor evaluate and make repairs as necessary.

95) Flooring was installed in a sub standard way. Transition trims were utilized in one or more areas and poses a trip hazard. A qualified contractor should make repairs as necessary
96) One or more sliding glass closet doors are cracked and/or damaged. This is a safety hazard. A qualified contractor should evaluate and replace doors as necessary.

97) 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.

98) Some ceiling areas in this structure have "popcorn" textured surfaces possibly installed prior to 1979. This material may contain asbestos, which is a known carcinogen and poses a health hazard. Laws were passed in the United States in 1978 prohibiting use of asbestos in residential structures, but stocks of existing materials have been known to be used for some time thereafter. The client(s) may wish to have this ceiling material tested by a qualified lab to determine if it does contain asbestos. In most cases, when the material is intact and in good condition, keeping it encapsulated with paint and not disturbing it may reduce or effectively eliminate the health hazard. If the client wishes to remove the material, or plans to disturb it through remodeling, they should have it tested by a qualified lab and/or consult with a qualified industrial hygienist or asbestos abatement specialist.

99) Floors in one or more areas are not level. Significant repairs may be needed to make floors level, such as repairs to the foundation, support beams and or post and piers. A qualified contractor should evaluate and make repairs as necessary.
100) One or more areas of the walls/ceiling were wet or had elevated levels of moisture at the time of the inspection. There appears to be an active leak in the roof and/or plumbing supply. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair as necessary.

101) Stains were found in one or more ceiling areas. However, no elevated levels of moisture were found. The stain(s) may be due to past roof and/or plumbing leaks. Recommend asking the property owner(s) about this, and monitoring the stained area(s) in the future, especially after heavy or prolonged rain. If elevated moisture is found in the future, a qualified contractor should evaluate and repair as necessary.

102) Access gate to pool is too low. This is a safety hazard because it are intended to control access to areas with a drowning hazard. Standard
building practices require that they:
Be a minimum of five feet in height
Not be climbable by children
Not have gaps or voids that allow climbing or access to gate latch mechanisms
A qualified person should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary, and as per standard building practices.

103) The alarm for door between the house and the pool was missing. While regulations vary between municipalities, all doors which give access to a swimming pool should be equipped with an audible alarm that should:
Sound for 30 seconds or more when the door and/or screen are opened Sound within seven seconds after the door is opened
Be loud; at least 85 dBA (decibels) at 10 feet away
Be distinct from other sounds in the house
Have a manual switch to disable it temporarily where the switch is located at least 54 inches above the door's threshold Have an automatic reset feature.
A qualified person should evaluate and repair as necessary.

104) No removable cover was installed for the pool. Recommend that one be installed to maintain water quality and for safety purposes.

105) No removable mesh fencing was installed. Recommend installing a removable mesh fencing that meets American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Specifications F2286 standards in conjunction with a gate that is self-closing and self-latching and can accommodate a key lockable device.

106) Self-closing device on gate used with pool fencing is missing. This is a safety hazard because these devices are intended to control access to the pool, especially for children. A qualified person should repair, replace or install as necessary.

107) Self-latching device on gate used with pool fencing was missing. This is a safety hazard because these devices are intended to control access to the pool, especially for children. A qualified person should repair, replace or install as necessary.

108) The swimming pool is not equipped with a pool alarm. Recommend an alarm that, when placed in a swimming pool, will sound upon detection of accidental or unauthorized entrance into the water. The alarm shall meet and be independently certified to the ASTM Standard F2208 “Standard Safety Specification for Residential Pool Alarms,” which includes surface motion, pressure, sonar, laser, and infrared type alarms. A swimming protection alarm feature designed for individual use, including an alarm attached to a child that sounds when the child exceeds a certain distance or becomes submerged in water, is not a qualifying drowning prevention safety feature.
