Home Inspections:

The law changes on 12/31/2005

We just read:

... shall take effect December 31, 2005 . ...

... License requirements for home inspectors

No person shall conduct or represent that he or she has the ability to conduct a home inspection for compensation unless such person is:

1. licensed as home inspector pursuant to this article; or ... [others]

... Real estate licensees [Brokers and Salespersons] will be expected to know that home inspectors must be licensed. Accordingly, they will have an obligation to ensure that the names of home inspectors that are provided must be licensed. ...

We have no means of constantly monitoring every inspector in every firm in the list to make sure they are all licensed.

But maybe there is a solution, please CHECK WITH YOUR LAWYER before following any suggestion from us:

... can check the names of licensed home inspectors on the
DOS [NY State Department of State] website, by calling DOS at 518-474-4429, and by asking to see the home inspector's license.

If you still want to take a look at the list, here it is:
