What does a property preservation inspector do?

A Property Preservation Inspector is responsible for inspecting and documenting the condition of properties, often those in foreclosure or owned by banks or mortgage companies. Their main duties include assessing property damage, ensuring compliance with safety and maintenance standards, and reporting on occupancy status and needed repairs. They help protect and maintain vacant or abandoned properties until they are sold or occupied again. Inspectors may also coordinate minor repairs or maintenance and provide photographic evidence as part of their reports.
