1. Introductory NotesInspection Items
CLIENT ADVICELos Angeles City ( along with several other cities ) has property upgrades that are required at the time of saleconcerning health, safety and conservation retrofit requirements that are in addition to those of the State OfCalifornia. These requirements may include a gas meter earthquake safety shut off valve, earthquake straps atany and all water heaters, smoke detectors, CO Detectors, fire egress at bedrooms, low flow toilets, low flowshower heads, GFCI outlets and safety glazing film. Other items may be required as the requirements are updatedor by different cities. We do not perform a compliance inspection for this requirement. It is recommended that youcontact the city where the property is located to establish any local retrofit or safety upgrade requirements prior toclose of escrow. Certificates of compliance may be needed.
INSPECTION SCOPEThe purpose of this inspection was to evaluate the building for function, operation and condition of its systems andcomponents. The inspection does not include any attempt to find or list cosmetic flaws. You, the client, are the finaljudge of aesthetic issues. The presence of furnishings, personal items and decorations in occupied structuressometimes limits the scope of the inspection. For instance, the placement of furniture prevents access to everyelectrical receptacle. The presence or extent of building code or zoning violations is not the subject of thisinspection nor is it included in this report. No information is offered on the legal use, or possible uses of the buildingor property. Information with regard to these issues may be available from the appropriate building and/or zoningagency. Important information about this property may be a matter of public record. However, a search of publicrecords is not in the scope of this inspection. We recommend the buyer review all appropriate public records if thisinformation is desired. We recommend that the buyer conduct a thorough pre-closing walkthrough inspection beforeclosing escrow.
PERMITSConfirmation should be obtained from the owner, or in their absence, the local building department, that allnecessary permits for appropriate construction and/or remodeling were secured, appropriate inspections wereperformed and all requisite final signatures have been obtained.
ENVIRONMENTALEnvironmental issues include, but are not limited to, asbestos, lead paint, lead contamination, mold, mildew, radon,toxic waste, formaldehyde, electromagnetic radiation, buried fuel oil tanks, ground water contamination, and soilcontamination. We may make reference to one or more of these materials when/if noted during the inspection.Should further study or analysis seem prudent, then a full evaluation by a specialist in the appropriate trade is

recommended. Information related to these products can be found in the "Homeowners Guide to Earthquake Safety& Environmental Hazards" pamphlet.
WALK THROUGH INFORMATIONDuring your final walk-through inspection you should have the opportunity to check the structure when it is vacant.At this time you may be able to check the areas that were concealed at the time of the inspection. You should checkto see if anything has changed since the original inspection (that is typically performed a few months prior toclosing). It is also advisable for the owner to provide any operating manuals for equipment, along with anywarranties that are available. You should operate kitchen equipment, plumbing fixtures, heating and air conditioningsystems, and any other equipment that is included as part of the purchase. It is also important to check for anysigns of water penetration problems in the house (interior and in the attic). If the owner has agreed to any repairwork, the documentation for this work should be obtained. Any problems that are discovered during the walk-through inspection should be discussed with your real estate professional, prior to closing.
PICTURESAny pictures included in this report are not meant to represent every defect that has been found. There may beaction items that do not have a picture included. We suggest reading the key findings to find all of the defects thathave been reported on. Pictures, if included, represent only the key finding associated with that picture. If you haveany questions on the key findings, please contact the inspector for clarification.
2. StructureOur inspection of the structure included a visual examination of the exposed, readily accessible portions of the structure.These items were examined for visible defects, excessive wear, and general condition. Many structural components areinaccessible because they are buried below grade or are behind finished surfaces. Therefore, much of the inspection wasperformed by looking for visible symptoms of movement, damage and deterioration. Where there are no symptoms,conditions requiring further review or repair may go undetected and identification is not possible without destructive testing.We make no representations as to the internal conditions or stability of soils, concrete footings and foundations, except asexhibited by their performance. We cannot predict when or if foundations or roofs might leak in the future.
