Forty Year Inspection Requirements – 1
What is a 40 Year Inspection?
The 40 Year Recertification program was designed to ensure the structural and electrical integrity of a building for its continued safe use. You will not be burdened with additional expenses for code upgrades or un-required improvements, which are not included under the 40 Year Recertification program.
Is Your Building Subject to Recertification?
All buildings, non-single family 2,500 sq ft (including duplexes in some counties) must be inspected both structurally and electrically after 40 years for “life safety” in order to get a “Certification of Occupancy”. It must be recertified every 10 years thereafter. The exact terms of compliance are mandated in your City or County’s 40 Year Recertification Ordinance.
