"Your Dream Property, Our Thorough Inspection"
Why Choose Inspect LA for Your Multi-Family Home Inspection?
Multi-family properties present unique challenges that require an inspector with a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of shared systems. At Inspect LA, we go beyond a standard inspection to ensure that both individual units and common areas are thoroughly assessed. Our goal is to protect your tenants, safeguard your investment, and ensure that your property meets all necessary codes and safety regulations.
A multi-family property houses multiple units under one roof, like duplexes, triplexes, or apartment buildings. Key differences include shared systems, like plumbing, electrical, and HVAC, which can affect multiple units if an issue arises. There's also a need to balance individual unit inspections with the overall building’s condition, including common areas and structural integrity. A key detail for buyers is understanding the division of responsibility between the property owner and tenants regarding maintenance and repairs. This dynamic adds complexity compared to single-unit homes.

What Multi-Family Home Inspection Includes?
Unlike inspections for standalone houses, multi-family home inspections focus on evaluating both individual units and shared systems like plumbing, electrical, and HVAC. These systems often affect multiple units simultaneously, meaning an issue in one area can spread to others. Additionally, multi-family properties include common areas such as hallways, stairwells, and exterior spaces, which also need to be assessed for safety and functionality. Our inspection ensures you have a thorough understanding of both unit-specific and building-wide issues, helping you manage the property effectively while keeping tenants safe.
We cover all the bases of your Multi-Family Unit
Scope of Inspection
- Unit-Specific Focus: We inspect each individual unit for issues with electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and appliances, ensuring every tenant’s living space is safe and functional.
- Shared Systems and Common Areas: Our inspection also includes shared systems such as plumbing, electrical, and structural components that impact all residents.
Unique Considerations
- Tenant Safety & Compliance: Multi-family homes need to meet strict safety and building code requirements. Our inspections identify any issues that could affect tenant safety or lead to non-compliance.
- Shared Responsibility: Unlike single-family homes, multi-family properties have shared spaces and systems that can affect multiple units, so any problems need to be identified and addressed quickly to avoid widespread issues.
- Maximizing Investment: A thorough inspection ensures that your property remains a safe and desirable place to live, reducing tenant turnover and helping you maintain a strong investment over time.
