I’ve already put down a $2,000 earnest deposit and paid for the inspection and appraisal.This event is unprecedented in the area, as the area is typically low in violence and considered very safe.

Inspections are typically done by licensed professionals like structural engineers, architects, or certified building inspectors.

.- Inspections: Some programs require annual property inspections to ensure compliance with their standards, which can occasionally be demanding.- Damage Risk: As with any tenant, there’s potential for property damage.

The upgrade basically put a target on my back with the fire marshall as he came by to inspect the work and found that there were a few compliance issues.

They don't want the company to be potentially liable if an owner doesn't follow through with the inspections and repairs.After the GFC, we needed the capital investment or they would have had to tear down more houses than the thousands that they already have.

If....and this is a BIG if I know...the work was done to code, what could I reasonably expect it to cost for the inspections / rezoning process? 

My mistake for not inspecting the property beforehand.

I've got a duplex built in 1888, and have a couple of cold rooms, upon inspecting the basement, there is no insulation under the floor of these rooms.

If the house has a septic system, especially if it's an older one, it's worth the investment to have a septic inspection done.This concern is particularly relevant for those planning to buy and hold the property rather than simply fix and sell it.

Are there any mandatory inspections or safety requirements I need to meet?
