A multi-unit inspection provides a comprehensive evaluation of properties containing two to four residential units. These inspections are essential for buyers, property owners, and investors who want a clear understanding of a property’s condition before purchase, sale, or continued operation.

A multi-unit inspection is a detailed assessment of both individual living units and shared common areas within a multifamily property. Because these properties often involve multiple occupants and increased system usage, inspections require a broader evaluation than a single-family home.

This inspection helps identify maintenance needs, safety concerns, and potential liabilities that could impact occupants or long-term property performance.

Multi-unit properties include multiple living spaces and shared systems. A professional inspection helps ensure all units and common areas are reviewed consistently.

Understanding the property’s condition allows buyers and investors to evaluate repair costs, plan future maintenance, and assess overall value.

Issues affecting multiple units—such as electrical, plumbing, or structural concerns—can pose safety risks if left unaddressed.

A multi-unit inspection typically includes a visual evaluation of:

• Individual residential units
• Common areas such as hallways, stairwells, and shared spaces
• Roof, exterior, and drainage systems
• Foundation and visible structural components
• Electrical systems and panels
• Plumbing systems and fixtures
• Heating and cooling systems
• Safety features and visible defects
   

Optional ancillary services may be added depending on the property and client needs.

• Inspections are visual and limited to accessible areas at the time of inspection.
• Tenant occupancy may affect access to certain units or systems.
• A multi-unit inspection is not a guarantee of future performance or code compliance.
   

The goal is to provide a clear snapshot of the property’s condition to support informed decision-making.

A multi-unit inspection is recommended if you are:

• Purchasing or selling a multifamily property
• Managing rental units
• Investing in income-producing real estate
• Planning repairs or long-term maintenance
   

Whether you are buying, selling, or managing a multifamily property, a multi-unit inspection provides valuable insight into the condition of your investment.
