Many St. Louis County cities inspect a home before it is sold or a new tenant moves in, and hand over a list of repairs to fix before the occupancy permit is issued. Send us the list and we work through it, item by item.
1. What an occupancy inspection is
Rules differ from city to city, so check with your city hall for what applies to your address and how long the permit takes. The list you get back is usually a mix of small safety and upkeep items.
2. Items that come up often
Loose handrails and railings, missing or dead smoke detectors, doors and locks that don't work, GFCI outlets near water, caulk and grout, and screens. Recent jobs in Creve Coeur included inspection repairs and an occupancy railing. Renting through Section 8? See our Section 8 inspection punch list.
3. Getting it done fast
Book as soon as you have the report. One Pro working down the whole list in one visit is usually faster than calling a different trade for each item. Photos of the finished work on the invoice help when you send it back to the city or your agent.
