Welcome to NYSAHI NEWS!
 
Our goal is to keep NYS home inspectors informed on statewide issues.  Of course, you can easily unsubscribe by clicking the "Safe Unsubscribe" link below. 
 
The mission of the New York State Association of Home Inspectors, Inc. is to promote the interest 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.
 
Gregg PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE 
 
ACTION IS NEEDED NOW!

 The Department of State has released draft versions of the home inspection Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics documents for initial review and comment by our industry.

THESE DOCUMENTS CONTAIN FATAL FLAWS THAT WOULD HAVE A DRASTIC IMPACT ON OUR PROFESSION AND YOUR LIVELIHOOD IF ADOPTED AS WRITTEN. These draft regulations would place strict limits on the amount of information an inspector could legally give his/her client and would give the impression to the general public that hiring a PE is the only way to have a home's systems evaluated in a meaningful way.
 
I urge all home inspectors to review these documents and then to contact the Department of State and the Home Inspector Advisory Council with their comments.  The dead line for comments is July 2, 2007.
 
The documents can be viewed at the following links:
 
 
Comments should be directed to Whitney Clark, Council for the Department.  Her address is on the documents at the links above.  Please also copy your comments to the members of the Home Inspector Advisory Council.  Their addresses can be found at the following link:

Of course, NYSAHI is also working on a detailed response.  But your input is vital at this time. 
 
Thank you,
 
Gregg Harwood, NYSAHI President 2006-07, 607.773.1519
