For existing Homeowners Associations (HOAs), the initial inspections are mandated to be completed by January 1st, 2025, and subsequently every nine years thereafter. New HOAs, for which a building permit application was submitted after January 1, 2020, are required to undergo inspections within 6 years of the certificate of occupancy issuance and thereafter, once every nine years.

DEI’s inspection entails providing the association with a comprehensive report immediately upon completion. The detailed report covers various aspects including identification of building components, their physical condition, expected useful life, repair recommendations, and is authenticated with the stamp/signature of the inspector.

In cases where the visual inspection reveals conditions suggestive of water infiltration into the associatedwaterproofing system, potentially endangering load-bearing components, further examination may be warranted. The decision for additional testing rests with the inspector’s professional judgment, considering the necessity, scope, and extent of any further inspection.

Exterior Elevated Elements encompass crucial load-bearing components and their waterproofing systems. This includes balconies, decks, porches, stairways, walkways, and associated railings.
