Help! First Inspection on Multifamily

Posted

I am closing on my first property and received some valuable information from the general home inspector. I am looking for feedback on whether any of these key issues are serious enough to get out of the contract. I have basement waterproofers, HVAC, tree removal and a garage builder coming to take a look this week. 

1. Substandard step flashing around dormers

2. Deteriorated garage structure, sill plate and substandard floor

3. Very old windows with heavy peeling paint (probably lead)

4. Deteriorated sections of front porch framing and decking

5. No water proof membrane on 2nd fl proch floor

6. Several leaning or diseased trees in yard

7. Shortage of outlets in kitchens-no gfci’s

8. Water entry into basement

9. Mold in basement and garage

10. No main shut offs in main electrical boxes

11. Aging furnaces with asbestos insulation on ducts

12. Improper splicing in several areas of basement

13. Leaking toilet bend 1sr fl into basement

Thanks!
