  1. Inspection of the structure’s design, construction and maintenance: The licensed engineer or architect will review the design, construction and maintenance of the balcony, deck or other elevated exterior space to ensure that it is compliant with the state laws and regulations and is safe for use.

  2. Check for visible signs of wear and tear: The inspector will look for any visible signs of wear and tear such as cracks, holes, and water damage that could indicate a problem with the structure.

  3. Check for proper drainage: The inspector will check that the balcony, deck or other elevated exterior space has proper drainage to prevent water from pooling and causing damage to the structure.

  4. Check for proper waterproofing: The inspector will check that the balcony, deck or other elevated exterior space is properly waterproofed to prevent water from penetrating the structure and causing damage.
