the inspector will look for obvious stuff. chipping paint may get you an item on your punchlist. but it might not. I do not bother doing pre-inspection maintainence. I just wait for the punchlis and I start fixing stuff.
they look for easy stuff: missing window screens, doors that don’t lock, nasty flooring, water leaks, wires hanging loose, stuff that does not work (stove, frig, toilets, lights…) windows that won’t open or lock…
Section 8 re-inspection - Posted by infinitig35 in south PA

Good morning all. This coming Wednesday is my Sec.8 re-inspection. I have several areas in my rental home that have chipping paint (steps, railing along steps, door frames,etc.). Is the inspector from Sec.8 pretty strict on painting? I mean, i’m not a professional painter. I do a decent job, it’s just doing the steps is a little tough, some of the paint got onto the side wall. I know, I should tape the areas around the painting. Can I pass inspection with “amateur” painting?
thanks all
