In New York State, who can provide home inspection of residential buildings for compensation?
Real Property Law was amended September 2004 by adding a new Article 12-B “The Home Inspection Professional Licensing Act.” Starting December 31, 2005 a license issued by the NYS Department of State (DOS) will be required for persons engaged in performing home inspections of residential buildings for compensation. Exempt from this licensure requirement are architects and professional engineers licensed and currently registered by the NYS Office of Professions who are lawfully practicing within the scope of their profession. For more information on the Home Inspection Professional Licensing Act, visit the DOS Web site at www.dos.state.ny.us/lcns/homeinspector.htm.
