Home Inspection vs. Code Inspection

Unless your home is brand new, chances are it has code violations. But here’s the truth: it’s not a home inspector’s job to find or comment on those violations during a purchase inspection. Building codes evolve, but that doesn’t mean your home must constantly be updated to meet the latest standards. A good home inspector focuses on potential issues that might affect your safety or wallet, not on making sure your house meets today’s codes. If you’re planning major renovations, then yes, expect to meet new requirements, but until then, enjoy your home as it is.
