Thank you for choosing Bald Eagle Inspection Services, LLC. This report is designed to be as thorough as possible, but also clear, concise and balanced. In overview of the property in question: Based on observations it can be concluded that the subject property has some minor defects and a few complicated repairs. Most of the observed defects are characteristic of a building of the given age and may not necessarily require immediate repair. Many of the minor defects are easily repairable, either by the current homeowner, potential buyer, or a qualified contractor. The inspected home was of early 1800's structure renovated to modern construction standards with no visble alterations to the existing foundation. Homes with exiting structure of this age may exhibit many architectural components that are out of plumb, unlevel and uneven. Some of these conditions may be considered characteristic of a structure of this age. Structural defects may be limited to condition, operation or safety as accurately as possible. Capital Region Multiple Listing Service, Inc., Standard Form Contract for Purchase and Sale of Real Estate, paragraph 21 allows a potential buyer to void a purchase contract when a defect totaling $1,500 or more is identified. These types of defects are labeled as “substantial” and are accompanied by the “$” icon. There were no substantial defects observed. A radon air test is being conducted on the subject property. The test results will be submitted under separate cover. More information regarding radon can be found at http://www.epa.gov/radon.

| 08/23/2020 | It was observed that no ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets are installed in the garage. GFCI outlets help prevent electric shocks in areas that may have water present. Garages are typically included under this criteria. It is recommended that GFCI outlets be installed in the garage area. |
| 08/23/2020 | It was observed that no ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets are installed. GFCI outlets help prevent electric shocks in areas that may have water present. It is recommended that a licensed electrician be contacted to evaluate and make repairs as necessary, especially over counter tops and around sinks. |
| 08/23/2020 | It was observed that an electrical cover was missing in the attic. Electrical covers protect from the risk of shock, especially for younger children. It is recommended that electrical covers are installed. |
| 08/23/2020 | It was observed that stone veneer covering on the exterior foundation was loose at some locations and requires reattachment. |
| 08/23/2020 | It was observed that the detached garage exterior walls were missing integral and very important counter flashing at rim boards and any protruding features such as window and door heads and upper band boards. This condition is the likely result of water inside the structure. It is recommended that a counter flashing be installed at the rear over sized concrete slab that projects from the rear of the structure. |
| 08/23/2020 | It was observed that there was missing caulk around bathroom fixtures. Missing caulk may allow water penetration to effect adjacent areas and may cause further damage. It is recommended that caulk be installed and maintained as necessary. |
| 08/23/2020 | It was observed that the master bathroom marble backslash was damaged and requires proper repair. |
| 08/23/2020 | It was observed that the electrical panel cover was missing several fasteners. It is recommended that the missing fasteners be installed. |
| 08/23/2020 | It was observed that the water meter and main shut-off could not be accessed due to a fixed wall panel. It is recommended that the fixed panel be made removable. |
| 08/23/2020 | It was observed that a door in the basement was missing a hardware set and was unfinished. It is recommended that the hardware set be installed and the door jambs be finished. |
| 08/23/2020 | As with the detached garage, it was observed that the detached garage exterior walls were missing integral and very important counter flashing at rim boards and any protruding features such as window and door heads and upper band boards.

| 08/23/2020 | It was observed that the half bathroom had a light switch that was not operating a fixture. It is possible that the switch is roughed in for a future vanity light. It is recommended that the purpose of the light switch be discussed with the current homeowner. |
| 08/23/2020 | It was observed that a pipe was protruding from the floor behind the laundry equipment. the purpose of the pipe could not be identified, however, it is possible that the drain on the washing machine is not hooked up. It is recommended that the drain pipe be discussed with the current homeowner. |
| 08/23/2020 | It was observed that the basement was a finished area with only one means of egress. Typically, occupiable basements must have two means of egress/exit if the space is able to be used as living area, even if the space is not ''listed'' as livable on real-estate data. This is to provide two options of escape in the event of an emergency. The intent is to keep you and your loved ones safe by requiring a means of egress in basement level living spaces. The reason for needing an additional means of egress are twofold; to allow for an additional exit in case of an emergency, and to provide additional access for a firefighter to gain entrance. If you intend on occupying the basement area as living space and would like a review of building code, please contact the local building department. (No Photo) |
