• Conduct a Site reconnaissance of the Site and adjacent properties

• A review of the subject property, architectural, structural, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems, plus a limited review of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990.

• Interviews with people knowledgeable of the subject property.

• A review of local building and fire department records regarding the subject property.

• Opinions of probable costs to remedy Immediate Physical Deficiencies.

• Schedule of Replacement Reserves as required by the client.

• Preparation of a Property Condition Assessment Report as required by the client.

• Review records of State, Federal and Local regulatory authorities, permits, citations, violations, institutional and/or engineering controls etc. relating to the Site and adjacent properties per ASTM standards.

• Review of User provided information, including but not limited to reports, letters, correspondence and a chain of title review back to the time of Site development; to include any additional items may determine to exist.

As part of this assessment, a User Questionnaire will be forwarded to the User to complete and return to us.
