New York State Association of Home Inspectors
The Voice Of The Home Inspection Profession In The Empire State


Welcome to NYSAHI.com

The mission of the New York State Association of Home Inspectors, Inc. is to promote the interests of its members and the home inspection profession in New York State with respect to regulation affecting the practice of home inspections.

Membership in NYSAHI is open to all home inspectors in our state.

The New York State Association Of Home Inspectors (NYSAHI) provides this site as a tool to help New York State Home Inspectors stay current with the changing face of home inspector regulation in our state. 
 


GOVERNOR VETOES WATER BILL
 

Our lobbyist, Jim McCulley, reports that Governor Paterson has vetoed the Well Water Education Act.
  
NYSAHI came out in opposition to this bill and many NYSAHI  members answered the call to write to the Governor asking for a veto. 
 
This bill had the potential to harm our profession by restricting inspectors from drawing water samples at homes for sale. 
 
In his veto message, the Governor stated budgetary pressures and redundancy in his opposition to the bill.  He noted that the Department of Health already has private well information on its website that is available for anyone concerned.    
 
I would like to thank all of the inspectors who took the time to contact the Governor.  Jim McCulley tells us that most bills like this go through without any significant comment from the public, so that when the Governor receives 80 emails or more, notice is taken.
 
The legislative season has ended for this year, but next January we will once again be busy  monitoring on your behalf in Albany. 
 
Thanks for your support,
Gregg
