Introduction
Atlanta BeltLine, Inc. is seeking professional home inspectors for a new owner occupied
rehabilitation program. The home inspections will be an integral part in ensuring home
defects are identified and verifying that the contractor’s rehabilitation work has addressed
these defects. We anticipate inspecting over ten (10) homes in this calendar year.
A home inspection is a documented, professional opinion of a home based on a visual
evaluation and operational testing of the home’s systems and components to determine the
current conditions.

works for both ABI or our agent and the homeowner. If the inspection
cannot be scheduled within three (3) business days due to the inspector’s
schedule, notify ABI or our agent within one (1) business day so the work can
be reassigned.
Send a complete detailed electronic report to the City within two (2) business days of
the inspection.
Review, certify, or reject page five of the Pre-Work Certification form (Attachment A),
within two (2) business days of receipt from ABI or our agent.

visiting the home within three (3) business days. The inspection shall occur

All inspection reports must meet industry standards, satisfy any City and State
requirements, note existing code violations, and include emerging items that are
anticipated to fail within the five-year (5) period from purchase.
