02 / Code violations

Address the issue behind the notice.

If you received an electrical or plumbing violation notice, send the cited items, property location, and any listed deadline.

  • Assessment of the conditions described in the notice
  • A repair scope based on the actual conditions
  • Discussion of applicable permit and inspection steps

Official clearance or reinspection is a separate step handled by the responsible authority.

Questions

Questions about inspection findings and repairs

Can you help with repairs listed in a home inspection report?

Yes. Send the pages describing the electrical or plumbing findings, the property address, and your target date. We can discuss what needs assessment. Some findings require an on-site visit before the repair scope and estimate can be confirmed.

Is an inspection finding the same as a code violation?

An inspection report records findings and recommendations. A formal violation notice comes from the responsible authority and may include deadlines or follow-up requirements. Send the document you received so we can discuss the items that need attention.

Can repairs be completed before my closing date?

Tell us your closing date when you first contact us. Timing depends on the scope, materials, property access, and any required permits or inspections. We will discuss scheduling once we understand the request; a closing date cannot be guaranteed from the report alone.

Will my repair need a permit or reinspection?

Requirements depend on the work and the jurisdiction. We can discuss the applicable next steps after reviewing the condition. Completing a repair does not itself clear an official violation; any required clearance or reinspection is handled by the responsible authority.

What should I send before requesting an estimate?

Send the relevant report pages or violation notice, the complete service address, your contact information, and any target date. Existing photos can help. Omit unrelated financial or personal information, and do not open equipment or touch wiring to take new photos.

Can buyers, sellers, and real estate agents contact you?

Yes. Homeowners, buyers, sellers, property managers, and real estate professionals can contact Sims & Sons. Tell us your role and who can authorize the work and arrange access to the property.
