Section 1993 - Inspection ReportsAll of the following reports must be in compliance with the requirements of Section 8516 of the code. All reports must be on the form prescribed by the board.
(a) An original inspection report is the report of the first inspection conducted on a structure at the request of a specified party or for a specified purpose. Subsequent inspections conducted on a structure at the request of a different party, for a different purpose than a previous inspection, or a different transaction relating to the same structure shall be deemed to be new inspections for which an original inspection report shall be required. An original inspection report may be either a complete or limited inspection.(b) A complete report is the report of an inspection of all visible and accessible portions of a structure.(c) A limited report is the report on only part of a structure. Such a report shall have a diagram of the area inspected and shall specifically indicate which portions of the structure were inspected with recommendation for further inspection of the entire structure and the name of the person or agency requesting a limited report.(d) A supplemental report is the report on the inspection performed on inaccessible areas that have been made accessible as recommended on a previous report. Such report shall indicate the absence or presence of wood-destroying pests or organisms or conditions conducive thereto. This report can also be used to correct, add, or modify information in a previous report. A licensed operator or field representative shall refer to the original report in such a manner to identify it clearly.(e) A reinspection report is the report on the inspections of item(s) completed as recommended on an original report or subsequent report(s). The areas reinspected can be limited to the items requested by the person ordering the original inspection report. A licensed operator or field representative shall refer to the original report in such a manner to identify it clearly.Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 16, § 1993
