Why chimney inspection gets documented this closely in West Hollywood
The climate here is mild, so seismic risk and the age of the construction are what we note as the reason for inspection, not weather. Properties with original fireplaces get that reasoning written into the report so the inspection is not mistaken for a routine check. Visits here usually cover level 1: visual inspection for annual maintenance, level 2: camera inspection for real estate or damage assessment, and level 3: invasive inspection for suspected hidden damage, and each item goes into the report so the scope matches the chimney's actual condition instead of a flat-rate guess.
