What are common Section 8 and rental inspection fails in Lafayette?
Lafayette and Tippecanoe inspectors flag the same short list over and over: missing or dead smoke and CO alarms, GFCI outlets that will not hold in kitchens and baths, cracked covers, inoperable windows, missing drip legs or dirty furnace filters on a heating check, leaky faucets, soft floors at a toilet, and handrails that move. Student and long-term rentals near Purdue add the “someone painted over a device” and “the bedroom has no working egress” stories. None of that is exotic. It is a punch list if you catch it before the appointment.
We offer inspection prep at $175, prep plus minor repairs at $299, an extra unit on the same trip at $129, and a re-walk after the inspector at $99. The flow is prep → punch the obvious fails → a separate free quote if the repair is bigger → optional re-walk. This is not a pass guarantee. Inspectors work for the city or the housing authority. We do the work you hired.
Bring the fail list if you already had a walk. If you have not had one yet, send the address, the inspection date, and photos of the kitchen, bath, and furnace area. Quotes are free. Details and the locked table are on the rental inspection prep landing. Call or text (765) 551-7368.
