John, Not from my client, but the insurance company is requiring a complete roof replacement because of missing granular.

Inspected a roof back in March; here are some photos. What would you say about this roof?

March 2018 meeting minutes from NJ Home Inspectors Advisory Board; Incoming Correspondence Nick Gromicko, Founder, InterNACHI RE: InterNACHI Marketing Program January 25, 2018 Mr. Gromicko responded to the Committee’s request for additional information regarding a proposed marketing program which would provide real estate agents with a complimentary prelisting inspection on homes for sale which could be uploaded to their on-line property listings. 3 Mr. Gromicko stated that this marketing program has not yet been launched. He further advised that he would address any further questions from the Committee regarding the program’s development and InterNACHI’s intentions if requested. Can someone explain the end game here?

Here's what I found at yesterdays inspection. Some ugly, some not so ugly.

In newer townhouses, I've seen where there is a 'clean-out' door about 18 inches below the dryer connection.

What, if anything would you say about this oil tank. The stain is just that, a stain, not wet.

At the end of the 2nd article above, there is a link provided. Here's the one about venting; it's a cool video. http://www.elitesoft.com/pub/videos/gasvent/gasvent.htm

They were installed in the offices on the last school I did 2 years ago. Start-up and trouble shooting was a big problem. There were some internal control problems that took a long time to get parts from the factory. After the initial start-up difficulty, they seemed to be working fine; no call backs from the school.

What, if anything would you say about this? I've seen this installed where the opening is on the bottom at a rear venting unit, but not this. Thanks Click to Enlarge 57.01 KB

Has anyone seen this before and what is the cause? House built in 1980. Click to Enlarge 45.97 KB

Looks like the Edge Vent. http://www.airvent.com/products/intake- ... -edge-vent

Apartments converted to condos. First photo shows FP main disconnect at meter room. Second photo is new sub panel. 30 amp service, No 4 wire feed, ground and neutral together. What would you guys write? Click to Enlarge 60.46 KB Click to Enlarge 49.72 KB

I found these a couple of weeks ago where they replaced all the columns. Click to Enlarge 39.99 KB Click to Enlarge 28.89 KB

I know we discussed this before, but I cant find it here or in the code books. Can a shower door open into the shower? Click to Enlarge 36.81 KB

Gentlemen, Does a sub panel need a four wire feed if the breakers are 2 pole? Thanks Click to Enlarge 54.48 KB

Depending on the height and length, don't forget the additional weight/pressure against the foundation. i had one that was about 4 foot high and the entire length of the house that was causing foundation problems.

The first photo shows a newer toilet with a fill valve that fills the tank thru the tube but also drip down onto the 'float'. Actually I had 2 do the same thing on this inspection. The second shows an older fill valve I have never seen before. Is this legit or can it create a cross connection? Thanks. Click to Enlarge 38.37 KB Click to Enlarge 46.2 KB

It doesn't look like a proper landing at the door.

I know its a mess- Two questions 1) is a 'pony' breaker considered 1 breaker or 2? 2) is this panel 'overloaded'? Thanks Click to Enlarge 69.7 KB Click to Enlarge 139.75 KB

Hey Neal, Was it bonded correctly. I include this in my reports when CSST isn't bonded. Download Attachment: CSST bonding.pdf 509.05 KB

I do; and I would say I find cabinets nailed about 10 % of the time. I find drywall screws about 50% of the time.

Actually, 'freezing' is a concern. I have seen a 1 1/2" vent pipe that came thru and extended about 2 feet above the roof. The entire interior of the pipe was 'frosted' over. That's why running a vent on the exterior wall is a no no in cold climate areas.

Weird wiring- A sub panel is located directly under the main panel. The branch circuit wiring runs thru the main panel into the sub panel. However, the grounds and neutrals of the sub panel circuits are terminated in the main panel. I'm pretty sure this is wrong but need some confirmation.
