Residential Inspection Quick Sheets
SDCI is upgrading our online inspection system to improve its performance and reliability. The inspections system will be offline from Thursday, July 11, 5:30 p.m. to Monday, July 15, 7:00 a.m. There’s a possibility the outage will extend into Monday, July 15. If you need inspections for July 12 – 16, schedule them through the Seattle Services Portal no later than 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 11.
What Is It?
Our Residential Inspection Quick Sheets provide more transparency to the inspection process. They were created to help you understand what our inspectors are looking for during inspections and to clarify the sequence of inspections.
