The survey must be specific to the project itself and must be conducted by a licensed inspector. A written report must be generated and signed by the licensed inspector for each project undertaken. Review of a building s historical data is but one component of the required survey.
Many variables influence the validity of historical survey data.
Questions about the scope of prior remodels or renovations must be answered. Previous abatement activities must be quantified and documented. Additional samples of all new or modified construction materials must be collected. These and other concerns must be addressed when preparing the required survey report. It must be understood that a review of the survey database by persons other than a licensed inspector cannot be construed as meeting the requirements for a survey.
