Commercial property inspection in Detroit: what to expect
A commercial property inspection in Detroit, often called a property condition assessment, documents the condition of a building's roof, structure, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and life safety systems before you buy, lease or refinance. Many firms follow the ASTM E2018 standard for property condition assessments.
Metro Detroit's commercial stock ranges from century-old storefronts on Detroit corridors and small mixed-use buildings in Hamtramck and Wyandotte to strip centers, office buildings and light industrial space in Southfield, Troy, Warren and Livonia. Each brings different concerns: flat roof membranes, rooftop units, older electrical service, sprinkler and alarm systems, accessibility and deferred maintenance.
Scope is negotiated per building. Large projects may add engineers, environmental site assessments or specialty inspections. For sprinkler and alarm systems, compare commercial fire safety inspections, and for the structure consider a structural inspection, or browse all Detroit inspection pros.

Licensing and standards in Michigan
No permit is needed for an assessment. Michigan does not currently issue a state license for home inspectors, so credentials come from training and membership in a national association such as ASHI or InterNACHI, which publish standards of practice. For structural opinions or sealed reports, look for a Michigan licensed professional engineer, which you can verify on the LARA lookup.
Fire alarm and suppression systems in commercial buildings are inspected under the fire code, and in Detroit the Fire Marshal Division reviews and inspects fire protection. Ask the seller for current inspection reports and open violations from BSEED and the fire marshal.
