housing inspection

Dwelling condition assessment

A housing inspection is a formal examination of a residential property to assess its condition, safety, and compliance with building codes.

Inspections typically occur before a home sale, when a professional evaluates the structure, electrical systems, plumbing, and roof: The housing inspection revealed water damage in the basement.

Inspections may also be conducted by landlords or government agencies to ensure rental properties meet habitability standards.
