Why Would a Building Inspector Come to Your House and What Does He Do?

Don’t be surprised if a building inspector comes to your house. He is there to inspect your house for a number of reasons. He may have come on his own, or he may have been informed by the neighbors about the poor condition of your property. So, the inspectors decided to visit your property and find out how true the matter is. Some of the common reasons a building inspector New York may visit your property include:

  • Home Inspection: They want to inspect the house thoroughly and identify potential issues that may be there, like plumbing problems, defective wiring, or parapet damage. They want to ensure that the parapet is in good condition and that there is no threat from it. People losing balance and falling from the roof are not uncommon in NYC. 
  • Development Inspection: The inspectors will carry out the inspection to check the newly constructed structure or the alterations made during the remodeling of the property.
  • Enforcement: The DOB, or Department of Buildings, enforces the implementation of the NYC Building Code and Zoning Resolution to ensure that the safety of New Yorkers is not compromised. They respond to complaints like illegal construction, structural stability of the parapet, and so on.
