GET STARTEDLimited spots each week.
Every report is reviewed by a QA professional before delivery — not just generated and sent. That human review step means we can only take a limited number of jobs per week. Submissions are reviewed in the order they're received, and we'll let you know upfront if your report will take longer than 24 hours.
Before you ask.
What extra requirements apply to Detroit blight remediation projects?
Detroit blight remediation projects must meet current Michigan Building Code for all renovated systems regardless of original construction date. Electrical, plumbing, and structural work must be brought to current standards, not grandfathered.
Does Detroit require lead water line replacement during renovation?
Detroit requires lead service line assessment during major plumbing renovations. If a lead line is found, replacement is mandatory at the property connection. The city coordinates with the water department on street-side replacement.
How does the $250 readiness report work for Detroit projects?
You submit jobsite photos and your inspection tracking list. Within 24 hours, you receive a report identifying probable findings. This helps avoid failed inspections and costly re-inspection delays in a city with limited scheduling availability.
What are common Detroit inspection failures on rehab projects?
Common failures include undersized electrical services for modern loads, missing fire separation in multi-family conversions, inadequate structural headers at modified openings, and non-compliant egress windows in basement bedrooms.
Can I use the readiness report for Detroit rental registration inspections?
Yes. The report reviews your property against the same code standards Detroit rental inspectors check. It covers smoke and CO detectors, egress, electrical safety, and structural integrity items common in rental compliance inspections.
