From Ron: Columbia inspection process is returning to normal with these two caveats: 1. please observe social distancing for sellers, REALTORS(R), or whomever else is on the property for City Staff to preform their work. 2. There is a 3-4 day backlog of inspections, but the Director of Comm. Development was optimistic that things would be back to normal in a week. You don't have to abide by the 7-day unoccupied provision any longer.
From Ron - this morning I had a REALTOR ask what the COVID-19 rental inspection procedure was in Swansea, as they have had one tenant out and prepping the property for a new tenant.
We have verified the Village is applying the same standard as owner-occupied, where the property needs to be tenant-vacant for three days.
Example: tenant moves out today 5/29, the property could be inspected 6/2. If your crew did work on 5/30, 31 or 6/1 that will not add extra days to that count.
They also ask that REALTORS have a lock box on the property or unlock the door prior to the Village staff showing up for inspections.
