City Inspection or Hire inspector?

[Account Closed]

Hi everyone!

Quick question, I am about to close on a duplex and I’m curious about how to go about getting an inspection. The seller already paid for a city inspection to come out before closing date, this is done every 2 years. The seller is selling the property as-is. Should I personally hire an inspection or is a city inspector sufficient? I’m mainly concerned about safety and liability for the tenant.

Thank you
