Commercial and Multi-Family Rental Inspections

HouseMaster Denver Central for your multi-family home rental inspections. In March 2021, the city of Denver passed an ordinance, "Healthy Residential Rentals for All" program.  To comply all properties must have a Residential Rental License which requires an inspection.  HouseMaster has integrated every aspect of this program into our services to ensure a simplified application process and allow you to focus on the minimum housing standards required for your tenants.

All rental units are required to obtain an inspection and license from a certified inspector. HouseMaster Denver Central has the most qualified team members in the area to perform these inspections, and are certified by Denver's approved list, including:

ASHI, INTERNACHI, or CMI and ICC.

Upon successful license approval, multi-family unit owners will not have to renew for 4 years.

Multi-Family Properties

A multi-family rental unit is defined many ways but must include any multi- unit owned and/or managed by a person or company at the same address (different addresses like duplexes require individual licenses).  Other examples of multi-family units include apartment buildings, senior living centers, condominiums, rowhomes, etc. Denver's policies require a random inspection of 10% of units in a multi-family dwelling. Our team prepares to notify you of 15% of your units, in case any challenges arise on the day of inspection. Additionally, Denver requires that we inspect every below grade and basement unit, regardless of our random selection of units. This is done to ensure there is dual egress and no leaks in these areas. We work directly with property management staff, never tenants, at multi-family properties to ensure complete compliance, and help you pass your inspection the first time. We can inform you of best practices and common issues during the pre-inspection process. HouseMaster Denver Central ensures that our inspections are non-invasive and will provide a detailed issue punch list inspection report with corresponding images to ensure that you have a clear indication of our findings. While we have to select your units at random, we'll work with you to ensure the least amount of disturbance for everyone living at your property.
