I don't disagree that they are incorrect and should be included in the inspection report. However, isn't it up to the buyer to decide if they care about the issue and if they want to do something about it or not? If they don't care, they don't have to be re-done.

Just curious.

Corey,

I'm not Robert, but ...

I agree ... the railings need to be re-done ... no question.

That is referring to "need", as in 'to meet minimum code' and 'to meet minimum recognized safety standards'.

That said, you are correct in that the HI cannot determine for the buyer what they want to have re-done.

That is referring to "want", as in 'no, I'll pass on the railings because I want a large flat panel TV instead.
