Licensed Home Inspectors

Licensed Home Inspectors in the State of New York must meet education, experience, and insurance requirements, and pass exams administered by the state.  Passing this exam permits a licensed Home Inspector to perform home inspections.  A licensed Home Inspector is bound by a strict code of ethics.  For more info, visit http://www.dos.state.ny.us/lcns/professions/homeinspector/homemain.htm.  A draft of the code of ethics is available at http://www.dos.state.ny.us/lcns/professions/homeinspector/codeofethics.htm, and a draft of the standards of practice is available at http://www.dos.state.ny.us/lcns/professions/homeinspector/Homeinspectionstandards.htm.

Licensed Professional Engineers are not required to have a Home Inspection in the State of New York to perform inspections.  The State Law regarding home inspections specifically states:

  § 444-j. Practice of architecture and professional engineering.

A person regulated by the state of New York to engage in the practice of architecture when acting within the scope of that practice, a person licensed in the state of New York to practice professional engineering when acting within the scope of that practice or a person who is employed as a code enforcement official by the state or a political subdivision thereof when acting within the scope of that government employment may perform home inspections without need of licensure pursuant to this article.

A Licensed Professional Engineer or a Registered Architect is permitted to perform home inspections even if they have not obtained a Home Inspection license.
