Home Inspection - Concrete Steps

[Andy Collins]

Looking to purchase a SFR and got the home inspection report back. An area of concern is the front concrete steps. The first step is higher than the others and another side railing is recommended to cover both sides. Should I ask them to fix this? Would insurance accept it or even look at it? It probably wouldn't be cheap being concrete but does seem like a liability.

The back entrance has a similar problem with the last step being higher than all the others. It honestly looks like the whole slab sunk down a few inches, but looks like a wooden landing and steps could be built over it as maybe a cheaper option.

Other than that and getting some basement leaky pipes checked out it seems pretty solid considering it’s age.
