Roseville MN · Property TypeCondominium Inspection

What makes this property type different to inspect?

A condominium unit is residential space within a building owned by a condo association. Unit boundary typically begins at the interior wall surfaces; everything outside (envelope, roof, building structure, common mechanical) is HOA responsibility.

Why condo inspections differ from single-family:

• **Unit boundary scope**: We inspect within the unit boundary thoroughly, but cannot enter neighbors' units to verify shared-wall conditions.

• **HOA responsibility transparency**: We document which findings are unit-owner responsibility vs. HOA responsibility. This matters for repair-credit negotiation and ongoing maintenance budgeting.

• **Reserve study review**: Many condo associations have reserve studies for major capital expenditures. We recommend reviewing the reserve study to understand near-term HOA assessments.

• **Building age vs. unit age**: A "new" condo unit in an older building may have new finishes but old building infrastructure.

Condo-specific findings we frequently document:

• HVAC unit condensate handling (often a per-unit responsibility)
• Bathroom and kitchen plumbing (per-unit)
• Electrical panel (per-unit)
• Visible structural cracks in common-area walls (HOA)
• Roof leaks visible from the unit (HOA)
• HOA-maintained mechanical equipment (water heater, sometimes HVAC)

Typical scope: - 2-3 hours on site - 50-70 page report - HOA responsibility documentation in summary - Reserve study review recommendation
