Price

What drives the cost of rental certification inspection in Berkley

  • Number of units and whether the building has common areas
  • Pre-inspection only versus pre-inspection plus repairs
  • Lead-safe paint repairs on pre-1978 properties
  • Re-inspections after failed items
  • Condition and age of alarms, wiring and mechanical equipment
  • The municipality's own inspection fees and schedule
  • The age of the home: the typical Berkley home was built around 1949, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in Berkley

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Berkley was built around 1949. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.

Older plumbing and sewer lines

78% of homes here were built before 1960, when cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals and galvanized supply pipe were standard. A sewer camera inspection before buying or remodeling is cheap insurance.

Permits: check with the Berkley building department before work starts.
