A home inspector would have identified the non-functional windows and that should have been addressed immediately.2.

I am not an inspector myself and am terrible and guessing how much things cost to fix or repair.   

A fellow investor had squatters and had one of his tenants pull a gun on an inspector. 

My understanding as to the reason talking to local inspectors was the updated building codes made them uneconomical; specifically requiring that buildings with more than 2 units have to have fire sprinklers.

The reason he suggested we do this is so we can give her power (and just pay it ourselves for her in the meantime) while we wait for the inspector to come out and approve the base meter upgrade, and then to send that to PPL, and then to have them come put her meter in, a process which could apparently take several weeks.Has anyone else done something like this?

The city inspector did sign off on the work, and I sort of knew it wouldn’t be perfect going into it, because he was 1/2 the price of other contractors estimates I received.

What do the inspectors ask for to ensure the new detached ADU is not encroaching in to the 4' setback from the property line?

*This is the new aspect for me, so if you guys have any extra tips like "try calling the utilities rather than doing a search", or "always double check with the zoning & permitting boards if you plan on doing STR for air b&b licenses", or even seeing if there are any extraneous departments that can cause headaches later like city inspector or the fire marshal, or some other thing that would be good to know about.Thanks so much in advance everyone --Side note, it is so refreshing to come to a site where people *want* to learn about title.

|As far as an inspection goes, Michael Bender is the most thorough inspector I've ever worked with and the only one I would use on my personal home.

They should say, no, I will do it for you in hopes to get business.I think that a good GC with decades of experience should charge, say $200-$300 for 1) a review of the Inspector's report, 2) a jobsite visit, plus 3) a budget with prices that are pretty close.
