Multi-Family Property Inspections
Classic City Home Inspection provides detailed and professional multi-family property inspections across Athens, Watkinsville, Winder, GA, and surrounding areas. Whether you’re an investor evaluating a new purchase, a landlord managing maintenance, or a property manager ensuring tenant safety, a thorough inspection of your multi-unit building is essential for protecting your investment and minimizing liability.
David, a licensed and experienced inspector, specializes in evaluating duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and larger apartment-style buildings. With a clear understanding of both residential and light commercial construction, David delivers accurate assessments and clear reports tailored to the unique demands of multi-family properties.
Why Inspect Multi-Family Properties?
Multi-family homes are more complex than single-family structures due to their multiple living units, shared systems, and higher occupancy rates. Each additional unit increases the chance for hidden damage, deferred maintenance, or safety concerns that can affect tenants and the building’s overall value.
A multi-family property inspection helps:
- Identify needed repairs before they escalate
- Ensure compliance with safety and code regulations
- Protect the health and safety of tenants
- Provide documentation for lenders, buyers, or insurance companies
- Offer peace of mind for owners and property managers
Whether you’re in the acquisition phase or maintaining a long-term rental, regular inspections are a proactive way to manage risk and avoid costly surprises.
What We Inspect
David performs a full inspection of each accessible unit, as well as common areas, shared systems, and exterior elements. A typical multi-family inspection includes:
- Foundation and structural integrity
- Roofing, gutters, and drainage systems
- Exterior siding, walkways, railings, and balconies
- Electrical systems and panels for each unit
- Plumbing systems, fixtures, and water heaters
- Heating and cooling systems (HVAC)
- Windows, doors, and interior finishes
- Attics, basements, and crawlspaces
- Fire safety features, smoke detectors, handrails, and egress
- Common spaces such as laundry rooms, stairwells, and hallways
The goal is to provide a comprehensive overview of the property’s condition, including any safety hazards, maintenance issues, or signs of neglect that may impact current operations or future resale.
