Multi-family, mixed-use and retail properties across the five boroughs, Westchester and Long Island. Systems-level assessment with a written report in 24 hours.
Commercial and multi-family properties carry risk that a residential checklist does not reach. The inspection is scoped to the building's systems, its envelope, and the conditions that drive capital expense after closing.
Heating plant, domestic hot water, electrical service and distribution, and visible mechanical infrastructure. In multi-family buildings the question is rarely whether a system works today, but how much service life is left and what replacement costs.
Storefront envelope, means of egress observations, visible mechanical and electrical serving the space, and evidence of prior alteration. Tenant build-outs layer over each other in older NYC retail, and undocumented work is common.
Facade condition where visible, roof covering and drainage, foundation and cellar conditions, and water intrusion evidence. Envelope failure in a multi-unit building compounds quickly because one leak path reaches multiple units.
Buyers of multi-family and mixed-use buildings, investors evaluating a property before contract, and owners scoping capital planning. The common thread is a decision where the cost of being wrong is measured in tens of thousands of dollars.
Scope is agreed before the inspection based on property type, size and what the decision requires. The written report follows within 24 hours and documents conditions observed, with photographs, organized so it can be handed to an attorney, lender or contractor.
Yes. Mixed-use properties with ground-floor retail and residential units above are a common inspection type in NYC.
Scope is set before the inspection based on the property type, size, and what the buyer or owner needs the report to support.
