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.
