Notice to Occupants of Safety Issue

Following discovery of a safety issue during an inspection, the inspector is obligated to notify the occupants of the property about it. 

In advance of an official InterNACHI form, inspectors can add a paragraph to their own “leave behind” letter, or they can adapt the following suggested language for their own notice:
 

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Occupant/s,
 
Based on a recent inspection of the property located at

_____________________________________________________________________________,

a safety issue was discovered. 

The nature and location of the safety issue are:

_____________________________________________________________________________.

We recommend immediate correction and further evaluation of the safety issue by a qualified professional contractor.
  
You may also request a copy of the inspection report from my client for whom the inspection was performed.

Feel free to contact me for further assistance.

Thank you.

Sincerely,


John Smith
