What Do Municipalities Typically Inspect?

While requirements vary by municipality, common items that inspectors check include, but are not limited to:

Smoke Detectors Installed and Functioning
Carbon Monoxide Detectors Where Required
Handrails on Stairways
Cracked Sidewalks
Basic Electrical Safety Concerns (GFCIs, Double-tapped Breakers, Exposed Wiring, Switch Cover Plates, Etc)
Visible Safety Hazards
Sewer System Functioning Properly

These inspections are generally not intended to evaluate the overall condition of the home, but rather to ensure the property meets minimum safety standards for occupancy.
