The kind of things we help catch.
Examples based on past reports. Each finding includes the photo, location, and the reference it was checked against.
Hillside retaining wall footing depth insufficient for Cincinnati's slope stability requirements on 20-percent grade lot
Sump pump discharge routed to combined sewer instead of storm system in Ohio River flood-prone neighborhood
Exterior receptacles on river-facing elevation lack weather-resistant covers rated for flood splash exposure
Replacement windows in Mt. Adams historic district do not match approved muntin profile per preservation review
Condensate drain from high-efficiency furnace not routed to approved discharge point in basement below flood line
Sprinkler head coverage obstructed by exposed beam in Over-the-Rhine historic renovation exceeding 18-inch clearance rule
And only if we identify something that wasn't already on your list.
If everything identified was already on your list, you pay nothing. You keep the report either way.
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.
Does the report address Cincinnati's historic district requirements?
Yes. If your project falls within a Cincinnati historic district such as Over-the-Rhine or Mt. Adams, the report flags items that may conflict with preservation overlay requirements, including window profiles, exterior materials, and facade modifications.
What flood-related items do Cincinnati inspectors commonly flag?
Projects in Cincinnati's Ohio River flood plain face scrutiny on foundation elevation, sump pump discharge routing, electrical panel height, and mechanical equipment placement. The report checks all of these against current FEMA flood map designations.
How does Cincinnati's hillside construction affect my inspection?
Cincinnati enforces specific requirements for grading, retaining walls, and drainage on sloped lots. Inspectors pay attention to footing depth, soil retention, and stormwater management. The report evaluates these items against Cincinnati's hillside overlay standards.
What code does Cincinnati follow for residential work?
Cincinnati enforces the Ohio Residential Code, which is based on the IRC with state amendments. The city layers additional local amendments covering flood plain construction, historic preservation, and hillside development on top of the state baseline.
Can I get the report before my Cincinnati rough-in inspection?
Yes. The 24-hour turnaround means you can submit photos right after completing rough-in work and receive findings before scheduling your inspection with the Cincinnati Building Department, reducing the chance of a failed inspection and re-inspection fees.
