HEALTH & SAF. § 17973

Multifamily Deck & Walkway Inspections

Apartment portfolios present a different compliance problem than a single condominium tower: many buildings, many unit types, tenant access constraints, and a schedule that has to work around occupancy. Owners and asset managers generally do best engaging one licensed firm across the portfolio so methodology, sampling, and report format stay consistent across properties.

Statistical Sampling

Inspections are performed against a sample of qualifying elements sized to the total inventory, rather than every element on every building.

Tenant Access Planning

Balcony and unit access requires notice to residents; access coordination is usually the longest-lead item in the engagement.

Portfolio Standardization

A single firm across properties produces comparable reports, which simplifies capital planning and lender or insurer reporting.

Typical Engagement Range

Per-building inspection engagements commonly land in the $700–$2,500 range, with portfolio pricing negotiated per building. Remediation identified by the inspection is scoped and quoted separately by a licensed contractor. Use our cost estimator →
