Default Commercial inspector for a condo buyer needed in Massachusettes.

However, I'm wary of buying into a a large, aging building that might need significant upgrades (e.g. a new HVAC system, new plumbing or electrical upgrades, expensive structural repairs, etc). In some Boston buildlings, individual condo owners have had special assessments of $100,000 or more to cover these types of expenses. This would be a financial disaster for me.

In addition, as a potential buyer I would want to hire a home inspector with knowledge and experience related to the physical structure and mechanical systems in large buildings, which is obviously very different than in single family homes or smaller townhouse buildings.
